| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) spacecraft concludes its incredible 680 million km journey this month, which began when the Mars Obiter was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SHAR) at Sriharikota in November last year.
In a post on its Facebook page, in the last week of August, ISRO announced that its Mars Orbiter Mission spacecraft was just 9 million km away from Mars. ISRO scientists have already begun preparations for the moment of truth for the mission; when the spacecraft is released into Mars Orbit. |
