Its goal is to explore Mars' surface, atmosphere, and mineralogy to better understand the planet and demonstrate new space technology. The mission is notable for its cost-effectiveness and successful insertion into Martian orbit, making India the first Asian country to reach Mars and the fourth space agency globally. Mangalyaan provides valuable scientific data and showcases India's growing capabilities in space exploration.
