Ø Loading of commands for inserting India's Mars
spacecraft into the Red Planet's orbit
began on Sunday before noon and it will take about 13 hours to load these
time-tagged commands into the spacecraft, the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) officials said. ISRO Chairman K. Radhakrishnan earlier said
that while “the primary objective” of India's Mars Orbiter Mission was to put
the spacecraft into a Martian orbit, its scientific objective was empirical
observation of the planet. The ISRO-built orbiter carries five instruments to
detect methane on Mars, to study its geological activity, to study the Martian
atmosphere and so on.
