Mangalyaan showed its power captures biggest moon of Red Planet Phobos Watch Video
It is noteworthy that Mars has 2 moons. Their names are Phobos and Demos. Phobos is large in size and is also the center of interest of the scientific community. India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM-1) has also contributed to the discovery related to the Red Planet by taking pictures of Mars and its moons.
The objective of Mangalyaan mission is to examine the surface and structure of Mars. It is also important to know what the atmosphere of the Red Planet is like. This mission has been important for India, because we also aim to land our mission on Mars in the coming years. India is the only country in the world which has sent a mission to Mars at a very low cost and has achieved success in the first attempt itself.
It is important to capture Phobos in pictures. Many scientists feel that by gathering more and more information about Phobos, they will gain information about the history and formation of Mars. Space agencies have also launched missions on Phobos. According to TOI, Russia's Phobos Grunt mission was launched in 2011. He had gone to Phobos to collect soil samples and was about to return to Earth. However this could not happen. The Russian mission failed even before reaching Earth's orbit.
American space agency NASA has also sent many missions to Mars, but no one knows much about Phobos.
