MCC instrument is the eye of Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) launched by ISRO on 05th November 2013 from the spaceport of India, Sriharikota. MCC has already provided more than 1000 images of Martian surface features covering different terrains. Recently, MCC has captured Phobos image at successive ...
The mission returned thousands of images, giving us our first global look at the planet. The Soviet Mars 3 mission was the first to land on the surface. Unfortunately, communication ceased shortly after touchdown. The Viking program consisted of two orbiters and two landers. The landers studied...
