Challenges and Execution of the Mars Orbiter Mission Project

Abstract
Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) is India’s first interplanetary mission conceived and
executed to demonstrate ISRO’s technical capabilities and also to perform science
experiments around Mars with indigenously developed scientific instruments. Mars
Orbiter Mission spacecraft was built at ISRO Satellite Centre - Bangalore with payloads
contributed by Space Application Centre - Ahmedabad, Space Physics Laboratory of
Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre – Thiruvananthapuram and Laboratory for Electro Optics
Sensor- Bangalore. The MOM spacecraft was launched from Satish Dhawan Space
Centre - Shriharikota on November 5th 2013 by Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle – XL,
India’s workhorse launch vehicle.
The execution of MOM project involving various disciplines like satellite making,
payloads realisation, launch vehicle adoptability, mission design and development and
providing navigational solutions in a very short period of time - less than two years was
a major challenge for ISRO. The findings of the study committee were used as the basic
guidelines for the mission design and the vast experience of ISRO was used to adopt and
modify various heritage systems for the Mars mission.
The challenging areas of the mission were launch vehicle mission design, spacecraft
system design like propulsion sytem (restart of liquid engine after nearly 300 days of
hibernation), power system (solar panel to cater for requirements of both earth and
martian phases), deepspace communication system (very long distance and varied on-
board gain requirements), incorporation of host of on-board autonomy features (very
long time of travel for signals), thermal control systems (optimization of hardware for
varied environments between earth and martian phases) and design, development and
qualification of deepspace mission specific hardware like Delta Differntial Oneway
Ranging instrument for the first time. Providing navigational solutions with utmost
precision for critical events like earth bound maneuvers, Trans Mars Injection,
Trajectory Correction Maneuvers and Mars Orbit Injection was another area of major
challenge successfully overcome by ISRO.
The presentation provides more details of above aspects of Indian Mars Orbiter Mission.
Profile of Mr. S. Arunan
Shri. S. Arunan joined VIkram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) of Indian Space Research Organisation in the year 1985 after completing graduation in Engineering from Madras University.
Before joining ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC), Bangalore at 1998, he worked as Project Engineer and Project
Manager in the areas of Cryogenic Propulsion for GSLV and Control System for PSLV in Vikram Sarabhai
Space Centre.
He held the positions of Deputy Project Director for Technology Experiment Satellite (TES), Cartosat-1,
Chandrayaan-1 and Associate Project Director for Chandrayaan-2 before he took up current
responsibility of Project Director, Mars Orbiter Mission.
