NEW DELHI: The Mangalyaan mission, which was initially meant to last six months, has completed five years of orbiting Mars and is likely to continue for some more time, says ISRO chief K Sivan.
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 PTI.
The Mangalyaan mission completed five years on Tuesday.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.
The Mars orbiter has sent thousands of pictures totalling two terabytes, an Indian Space Research Organisation (IRSO) official explained.
