It doesn't mean that Indian technology is mature to launch exploration satellites to Mars before China. In terms of Mars exploration, India is seven years ahead, but it is only early and the technical content is not high. Mangalyaan weighs only 1.35 tons. It is a small probe, which can only run around Mars and cannot land. The Tianwen 1 weighing about 5 tons can land and patrol for scientific research and exploration.

In addition, Mangalyaan's successful launch was also a fluke. India's launch mode is different from other countries. Because of its relatively backward rocket technology and insufficient thrust, the speed of the detector could not meet the requirements after launch, so we had to start the booster on the detector to accelerate, and after several laps around the earth, we successfully rushed to Mars.

The history of Indian Mars exploration satellite launch

The Indian Space Research Organization was established in August 1969, and its predecessor was the National Space Research Council of India, which was established in February 1962.

As early as1963165438+1October 2 1, India's first probe rocket was successfully launched, marking the beginning of India's space program.

On April 1975, India's first satellite was launched from the former Soviet Union. Named after a famous Indian astronomer, it was designed and built in India and launched by a Soviet rocket.

20081October 22nd, 10, India launched its first mission to explore the moon. India launched the first lunar mission "Lunar Spacecraft 1" with its light rocket polar satellite launch vehicle. The spaceship flew around the moon, but it didn't land on the surface of the moon.

2013165438+1At 5: 08 pm on October 5, the Man Garian was launched from the space launch site on Srihrigoda Island.
