Watch with us online the launch of the first India’s probe to planet Mars.

The launch of the launcher PSLV with Mangalyaan (also called Mars Orbiter) is scheduled on November 5, 2013, at 09:08 GMT from India’s spaceport located in Satish Dhavan Space Center on the island of Sriharikota on the east coast of India.

PSLV launcher will take the probe into orbit at 23013 km above the Earth’s surface. Mars Orbiter (Mangalyaan) will escape the Earth’s gravity with help of six fires and the final escape maneuver will be on November 30, 2013. This way it will start its 10 monthly lasting journeys to planet Mars. Mangalyaan will reach the red planet on September 21, 2014, which will be one day after the arrival of the US probe Maven (launching from Earth on November 18, 2013).

The planned orbit of the Mars Orbiter (Mangalyaan) is an elliptical orbit with parameters 376,5 km – 80467,2 km above the surface of Mars.

Start of mission: November 5, 2013 – 09:08 GMT – first launch opportunity

Insertion on the orbit of Mars: September 21, 2014
