The document discusses India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and debates whether it is beneficial or a waste of money. It provides background on ISRO and describes the technological and scientific objectives of MOM, such as designing an orbiter to study Mars' surface features, morphology, and atmosphere. Both advantages, like furthering human success and reducing poverty long-term, and disadvantages, like opportunity costs and questions around India's economic capabilities, are presented. While some argue the ₹450 crore cost is a misuse of funds, the conclusion states that MOM has yielded a dramatic increase in knowledge about Mars and propelled India ahead technologically compared to other space rivals.

OBJECTIVES

8. • Technological Objectives :
# Design and realisation of a Mars orbiter
with a capability to survive and perform Earth
bound manoeuvres
# Deep space communication, navigation,
mission planning and management.
# Incorporate autonomous features to handle
contingency situations.

9. • Scientific Objectives :
# Exploration of Mars surface features,
morphology, mineralogy and Martian
atmosphere by indigenous scientific
instruments.

10. Advantages
•Mars important for us.
•A great means to reduce poverty.
•Long term success of human.

11. Disadvantages
• Opportunity cost.
• Economically weak.
• 4th country in the world power grip
over space programme but 140th rank in
literacy.
• Cost effective.

12. Disadvantages
• Rs 450 crore.A gross misuse of funds.
• We can barely survive on earth.
• If we can't make it as a species
on earth, how will we make it on mars?
• A waste of money...

13. • Invested the money in researching
sustainable energy, like wind power.
• No control over satellites.
• Current economy can’t allows.

14. Conclusion
• The exploration of Mars has taken place over
hundreds of years, beginning in earnest with
the invention and development of the telescope during
the 1600s. Increasingly, Probes sent from Earth
beginning in the late 20th century have yielded a
dramatic increase in knowledge about the Martian
system, focused primarily on understanding its geology
and possible habitability potential
• And in a concluding note, India’s mars mission can
never be a wastage of money as after successful
completion of this mission it has become a
technological leap that has propelled India ahead of
space rivals china and Japan.
