How NASA helped India's MOM to MARS

[ExtraOdinary]

NASA guys rock. Was'nt there a survey sometime back that around 30-40% of their scientists are of Indian origin.

Mr G Madhavan Nair, Chairman, ISRO, and Dr Michael Griffin, Administrator, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of USA today (May 9, 2006) signed Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) at ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC), Bangalore, on inclusion of two US Scientific instruments on board India's first mission to Moon, Chandrayaan-1. These instruments are - Mini Synthetic Aperture Radar (Mini SAR) developed by Applied Physics Laboratory, Johns Hopkins University and funded by NASA and Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3), jointly built by Brown University and Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) of NASA.

Russians sent it first right...take their help and launch it. You know... It's as simple as firing a sivakasi rocket.

No they don't like Russian low tech stuff...they want super advanced Chinese stuff.

There is nothing as MOM, it's the Jew USA and Hindu conspiracy to fool the world.

MAVEN waits for MOM in Mars’ orbit

Sep 23, 2014, 01.23AM IST

MUMBAI: On a day India test-fired the engine of its Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) spacecraft, Nasa's MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution Mission) spacecraft entered the Martian orbit. It will be a rare camaraderie in space when MOM and MAVEN go around the red planet and scientists of India and US share data from the two missions.

MAVEN, which could pave the way for an Indo-US collaboration in Martian scientific research successfully entered Mars'orbit at about 8am IST on Monday after a 10-month journey covering 442 million miles.

According to Nasa, MAVEN will study the red planet's upper atmosphere as never done before. "MAVEN is the first spacecraft dedicated to exploring the tenuous upper atmosphere of Mars," it said. On Wednesday, MOM will enter the Martian orbit. This is the first time in the history of Mars exploration that two spacecraft of two countries are reaching the red planet's orbit in quick succession.

At a media interaction post insertion on Monday, MAVEN principal investigator Bruce Jakosky said: "We wish a successful Mars orbit insertion for the Mars Orbiter Mission." Nasa's planetary science director Jim Green said: "Nasa is quite interested in cooperating and correlating data sets. As both spacecraft get into orbit and the scientists understand their data, these opportunities will open up," he said.

At a media briefing on September 17, Green said that discussions have been initiated between Isro and Nasa regarding scientific collaboration relating to the MOM and MAVEN missions. A post on MAVEN's official Facebook page states that "MOM and MAVEN share some science objectives and carry some similar instrumentation. As such there are plans to share data regarding Mars' upper atmosphere wherever it is appropriate."

Isro and Nasa are expected to compare and analyse data mainly about the Martian atmosphere which is generated by MAVEN and MOM. One of the instruments on MOM known as the Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyser (MENCA) will study the upper atmosphere of Mars, and so also will MAVEN. Anil Bhardwaj principal investigator of MENCA said in a report that "study of the composition and distribution of the Martian exosphere by MENCA may help in understanding the thermal escape of the Martian atmosphere." This is also one of the primary objectives of the MAVEN mission.

Scientists of Isro and Nasa are working on a mechanism to collaborate on setting up a joint Mars working group under the auspices of the US State Department's US-India Civil Space Joint Working Group. John Grunsfeld, astronaut and associate administrator of the NASA Science Mission Directorate at the agency's headquarters in Washington said: "Maven will complement Nasa's other Martian robotic explorers—and those of our partners around the globe—to answer some fundamental questions about Mars and life beyond Earth."

Following orbit insertion, MAVEN will begin a six-week commissioning phase that includes maneuvering into its final science orbit and testing the instruments and science-mapping commands. MAVEN then will begin its one Earth-year primary mission, taking measurements of the composition, structure and escape of gases in Mars' upper atmosphere and its interaction with the sun and solar wind.

The primary mission includes five "deep-dip" campaigns, in which MAVEN's periapsis, or lowest orbit altitude, will be lowered from 93 miles (150km) to about 77 miles (125km). These measurements will provide information down to where the upper and lower atmospheres meet, giving scientists a full profile of the upper tier.

Yep definitely cooperation and sharing between ISRO and NASA before MARS missions.

@VelocuR,



The fact that the world's best space agency is highly collaborating with ISRO - India’s space agency and the fact that they are lining up future joint projects should be a big cause for worry for you rather than a simple instance of point scoring.

Misplaced priorities.

EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY-ESA helped China in Chang'e 3 moon mission.

[ QUOTE ]
29 November 2013
Shortly after China’s Chang’e-3 spacecraft departs Earth to land on the Moon, ESA’s network of tracking stations will swing into action, providing crucial support for the vessel’s five-day lunar cruise.
“We are proud that the expertise of our ground station and flight dynamics teams and the sophisticated technologies of our worldwide Estrack network can assist China to deliver a scientifically important lander and rover to the Moon,” says ESA’s Thomas Reiter, Director for Human Spaceflight and Operations.

CONGRATULATIONS to ESA for helping China to land on Moon.
Otherwise it would have remained just another Chinese wet dream.

Its a shame pakistan chose north korea as an ally for its missile tech.

Literally a fail/butt hurt thread. This will cheer you up.

Matter of fact they gave output like riaz haq as their financial commentators to a 3rd them to the dumps

Are you fcked? Clearly those guys are NASA engineers of Indian origin or otherwise they've got a few babus to wear some white suits in the clean room.

The only help that NASA provided on this particular mission was the deep space tracking stations it has in Europe and Australia. Without which India would have to had build them.

Pakistanis you do know that the butthurt is just making us Indians even more proud.

No, these are NASAs 3rd printed Indians, working in NASA labs, silly Indians.

No you're wrong. Clearly these guys are NASA engineers with facepaint.
