India's Space Endeavors - A Prelude to Mars Mission

Before delving into the fascinating details of India's ambitious Mars mission, it is crucial to understand the country's significant achievements in space exploration. India's space program began in 1962 with the establishment of the Indian National Committee for Space Research.

Over the years, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has made impressive strides, successfully launching satellites, conducting lunar missions, and establishing its own Regional Satellite System. These achievements laid the foundation for India's audacious dream of setting foot on the Red Planet.

The Maven-like Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM): Breaking Barriers

In 2013, India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) became a groundbreaking milestone, astonishing the world with its incredible success. Popularly known as "Mangalyaan," MOM achieved what no other space agency had done before - being the first to reach Mars on a maiden attempt.

The ambitious MOM project was a testament to India's remarkable scientific and technical acumen. The mission aimed to study Mars' atmosphere, climate, geology, and potential for life. It combined cutting-edge technology, impressive cost-effectiveness, and meticulous planning to accomplish this extraordinary feat.

The Role of SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology

The objective of the book is to find an answer to the rationale behind the human quest for the Mars exploration. As a comprehensive assessment for this query is undertaken, it is realized that the basic question ‘Why Mars?’ seeks various responses from technological, economic and geopolitical to strategic perspectives. The book is essentially targeted to understand India’s desire to reach Mars. In the process, it also undertakes some implicit questioning of Mars programmes of various other states essentially to facilitate the setting up of the context for an assessment.
 
The book is divided into two parts:
Part I: This covers both science and politics associated with Mars missions in global scenario and discusses the salient features of various Mars Missions undertaken by various countries.
Part II: This provides details in regards to India’s Mars Mission.
