Mangalyaan sends another image of Mars

It is like the guy on bicycle criticise Neighbour BMW.
Why don't you send your own satellite to take better picture.

Looks like faulty camera , not looks like image NASA has been showing us for 20 years

NASA image is it me or the NASA image a bit more high HD

View attachment 118085


pfft!!!

I feel the phantom butt hurt buddy!

btw, the NASA image is a processed image from more than a few hundred close up shots. Its not a photograph even. It is a consolidation of many snaps.

Mars Orbiter Mission Methane Sensor for Mars is at work

After several months of near-silence, ISRO's Mars Orbiter Mission has released on Facebook the first data product from its Methane Sensor For Mars. Don't get too excited about methane yet: the methane sensor data does not yet the presence or absence of methane in the atmosphere. The excellent news here is that the Methane Sensor for Mars is working, systematically gathering data.

The map shows the reflectance of the surface of Mars in the methane sensor's reference channel, a wavelength in which atmospheric methane is transparent to infrared radiation. The data that underlie this map will eventually be compared to the methane sensor's other channel, a wavelength in which methane absorbs light, to attempt to map methane at the part-per-billion level in Mars' atmosphere.

Early results from the Mars Orbiter Mission Methane Sensor for Mars (MSM) instrument
The Methane Sensor for Mars has two channels, one sensitive to methane and one to measure the background reflectance of Mars at a wavelength of 1.65 microns (a wavelength at which methane is transparent) for calibration purposes. The reflectance of Mars in this reference channel will be compared to its reflectance in a channel where methane is opaque to measure the abundance of atmospheric methane. This graphic contains data acquired up to December 15, 2014.
