==== कक्षपथीयकौशलम् ====
Six orbit raising operations are to be conducted on the November 7<sup>th</sup>, 8<sup>th</sup>, 9<sup>th</sup>,11<sup>th</sup>,16<sup>th </sup>and on December 1<sup>st</sup> by using the craft's on-board propulsion system. Three have been completed successfully so far.
===== प्रथमकक्षपथ =====
The first orbit-raising manoeuvre of India's Mars Orbiter Spacecraft was performed at 01:17 hrs Indian Standard Time (IST) early this morning (November 07, 2013) when the 440 Newton Liquid Engine of the spacecraft was fired for 416 seconds by commanding it from Spacecraft Control Centre (SCC) at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) at Peenya, Bangalore. With this engine firing, the spacecraft's apogee (farthest point to Earth) has been raised to 28,825 km, while its perigee (nearest point to Earth) is at 252 km.

===== तृतीयकक्षपथः =====
The third orbit raising manoeuvre of Mars Orbiter Spacecraft, starting at 02:10:43 hrs(IST) on Nov 09, 2013, with a burn time of 707 seconds has been successfully completed. The observed change in Apogee is from 40186km to 71636km.
==लक्ष्यम्==
The primary objective of the Mars Orbiter Mission is to showcase India's rocket launch systems, spacecraft-building and operations capabilities.<ref name="Leonard-Oct2013">{{cite news | first = Leonard David | title = India's First Mission to Mars to Launch This Month | date = 16 October 2013 | url = http://www.space.com/23204-india-mars-orbiter-mission.html | work = Space.com | accessdate = 2013-10-16}}</ref> Specifically, the primary objective is to develop the technologies required for design, planning, management and operations of an interplanetary mission, comprising the following major tasks:<ref name="ISSDC-201209"/>
* Design and realisation of a Mars orbiter with a capability to perform Earth bound manoeuvres, cruise phase of 300 days, Mars orbit insertion / capture, and on-orbit phase around Mars.
* Deep space communication, navigation, mission planning and management.
* Incorporate autonomous features to handle contingency situations.
The secondary objective is to explore Mars' surface features, morphology, mineralogy and [[Atmosphere of Mars|Martian atmosphere]] using indigenous scientific instruments.<ref name="Leonard-Oct2013"/>
==अन्तरीक्षयानम्==
The spacecraft structure and propulsion hardware configurations are similar to [[Chandrayaan 1]], India's first successful robotic lunar orbiter that operated from 2008 to 2009, with specific improvements and upgrades needed for a Mars specific mission.<ref name='Leonard-Oct2013'/>
;Mass
:The lift-off mass was {{convert|1350|kg|abbr=on}}, including {{convert|852|kg|abbr=on}} of propellant mass.
;Dimensions
:Cuboid in shape of approximately {{convert|1.5|m|abbr=on}}
;Bus
:The spacecraft's [[Satellite bus|bus]] is a modified [[Comparison of satellite buses|I-1 K]] structure and propulsion hardware configurations similar to [[Chandrayaan 1]], India's successful lunar orbiter that operated from 2008 to 2009, with specific improvements and upgrades needed for a Mars mission.<ref name='Leonard-Oct2013'/> The satellite structure is of aluminum and composite fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) sandwich construction.
;Power
:Electric power is generated by three [[solar array]] panels of {{convert|1.8|x|1.4|m|abbr=on}} each ({{convert|7.56|m2|abbr=on}} total), for a maximum of 840 [[Watt|W]] generation in Martian orbit. Electricity is stored in a 36 [[Ampere-hour|Ah]] [[Li-ion battery]].<ref name='specifications' />
;Propulsion
:Liquid fuel engine of 440 [[Newton (unit)|N]] thrust is used for orbit raising and insertion in Martian orbit.
;Communications
:Two 230 W [[TWTA]]s and two [[Unified S-Band#Coherent transponders and Doppler tracking|coherent transponders]]. The antenna array consists of a [[Low-gain antenna]], a [[Medium-gain antenna]] and a [[High-gain antenna]]. The High-gain antenna system is based on a single 2.2 meter reflector illuminated by a feed at [[S-band]]. It is used to transmit and receive the telemetry, tracking, commanding and data to and from the [[Indian Deep Space Network]].<ref name='specifications'/>

;Atmospheric studies
* Lyman-Alpha Photometer (LAP) — a [[photometer]] that measures the relative abundance of [[deuterium]] and [[hydrogen]] from [[Lyman-alpha line|Lyman-alpha emissions]] in the upper atmosphere. Measuring the deuterium/hydrogen ratio will allow the amount of water loss to outer space to be estimated.
* Methane Sensor For Mars (MSM) — will measure [[Atmosphere of Mars#Methane|methane in the atmosphere of Mars]], if any, and map its sources.<ref name="payload"/>
;Particle environment studies
* Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyzer (MENCA) — is a [[quadrupole mass analyzer]] capable of analyzing the neutral composition of particles in the exosphere.
