NASA, ISRO to Share Martian Data

BANGALORE: India’s maiden mission to Mars, the Mangalyaan, has received active cooperation from the American space agency NASA.

This is part of the civil space co-operation agreement between India and the US, which also concerns joint development of new scientific products.

According to officials, the idea of a Joint Working Group (JWG) on Mars is beneficial to both sides as the orbiters-The Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) and Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) can share their findings. MAVEN, which will help NASA understand how Mars changed from a warm planet to a cold wasteland, is not equipped to study methane sources.
This is however a significant payload on MOM. “There will be a meeting of the scientific community post the insertion of MOM into orbit on Wednesday. Our orbiter can complement MAVEN and there will be no clash as such between the two,” ISRO secretary, Koteswara Rao had said recently. However, there has been no formal announcement of a JWG yet and it is expected to be announced during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the US this week.

Another opportunity for NASA and ISRO to work together will be when the comet Siding Spring passes within a distance of 1,32,000 km from Mars on October 19. “Three out of the five payloads on MOM can be used to observe the comet in October,” Rao said.

Nasa, Isro in talks for jointly developing satellite for first time

BANGALORE: US space agency Nasa and India's premier space agency Isro are in talks for jointly building a satellite for the first time.

"Now, there is a feasibility study going on whether we can jointly make a satellite, with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) payloads working on two frequency bands - L-band and S-band", Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) K Radhakrishnan told PTI here.

Charles F Bolden Jr, Administrator of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa) of United States, visited the Space Applications Centre (SAC) of Isro in Ahmedabad on June 25.

He had a meeting with Radhakrishnan, also Secretary, Department of Space, along with senior officials of Isro to discuss the ongoing cooperative activities between ISRO and NASA and also the potential areas of future cooperation.

"...the joint satellite mission is an important step. It's not making an instrument and plugging it actually. It's working together. That's what we are discussing. It (working together) should happen in the next few months", Radhakrishnan said.

"Both organisations are coming together and saying let's develop it together...use your strength, use my strength. That's a good way of working", he said.

"It (the proposed satellite) is interesting from scientific point of view, it's interesting from normal resource management point of view," he said.

Radhakrishnan said Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory would make the radar system "if it (in case of Nasa, Isro deciding to work together on the mission) is getting through".

On Isro's role, he said, "We will be working together. Some will be built by us, some will be built by them. So, this (work-sharing) has to be finalised", adding, data generated by the mission would be used by both Isro and Nasa.

Radhakrishnan hinted at the possibility of Isro making the satellite for the joint mission, with launch from Indian soil.

In this context, he pointed to the Indo-French joint satellite missions Megha-Tropiques and Saral, with Paris opting for Indian satellites for the ventures with 'desi' rockets.

India's 2008 Chandrayaan-1 mission had two instruments from USA.

Mini Synthetic Aperture Radar (MiniSAR) was from Johns Hopkins University's Applied Physics Laboratory and Naval Air Warfare Centre, USA through Nasa. MiniSAR was mainly intended for detecting water ice in the permanently shadowed regions of the lunar poles up to a depth of a few meters.

Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), an imaging spectrometer from Brown University and JPL through Nasa, was intended to assess and map lunar mineral resources at high spatial and spectral resolution.

Ok these are some facts to make Indians proud.

But what is the purpose of this mission? Can it give any new info which we dont know already?

you may never know mate, it's a secret. size doesn't matter after all.

i think you comprehension problem .......first article talk about that NASA provided DSN just ESA provided DSN to china in their moon landing

second article is about making a satellite in JV..

One of its objectives is to verify the presence of methane on the surface of Mars. If it can do that, it would be new info, just like our moon mission was the first in the world to confirm the presence of water on the moon.

This little baby will keep taking images (not just photographs, but different sensors) of Mars that will lead to a better understanding about our nearest planet. It's about cumulative accumulation of knowledge, not one grand "Eureka!" moment where a great discovery is made.

Actually, curiosity had already verified that there is no methane on mars. So this has already been verified. As a matter of fact, there is no new human scientific on this mission as what this probe is trying to do have already been accomplished. However, there is this one thing this mission teach us. Its that to reach higher up into the heavens, you don't need to be a first world country with the ability to print dollars. Even with a low budget, India is able to put a probe in the Mars orbit. Congrats to India on how to make big accomplishments with little money.

Yes. Curiosity didn't find methane on the surface. But there's a possibility that methane could be present in the atmosphere. MOM would like to find traces of methane in the atmosphere. If it finds methane then probably next question will be to find the source of the gas. Who knows there could be micro-organisms buried deep under the surface, far from martian cold, who are responsible for generating methane? But it's all a conjecture at this point.

pls youtube " india soft power" . 74m$ 's marketing will add up few more millions if not billions to isro's revenue. Sir Matrixx

 

[applesauce]

very nice.

while not technologically amazing,it is a firm proof of program demonstrating that india is a major player in space, and as it is a science mission, i am all for it.hopefully more to come.

Up above the world so

A mars mission doesn't sound too good for a country where the masses wear dhoti and are severely malnourished.

Pakistan became the first country to successfully enter waziristan, i heard.

And on a Pakistani highway...there goes a truck with something like this writtne on its back_ "Sad naa...Rees kar". meaning-stop being jeleous...try and compete or even better it.

U got it wrong bro....
Nasa Provided DSN to isro like ESA provided DSN(deep space navigation) to china in its mars mission ... n NASA, ISRO r in talks of building a JV sattelite in future.... n MOM is completely Indian! !!
