NEW DELHI: The Mangalyaan mission, which was initially meant to last six months, completed five years of orbiting Mars on Tuesday and is likely to continue for some more time, ISRO chief K Sivan said.
In the last five years, the Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), India’s first interplanetary endeavour, helped India’s space agency prepare a Martian Atlas based on the images provided by the orbiter, Sivan told reporters.
“It’s working and continuously sending pictures. It still has some time to go,” Sivan said.
Asked about Mangalyaan 2, he said work is going on and there is no decision on it yet. (AGENCIES)
