ISRO discharges picture of Mars' greatest moon Phobos 

The Mars Color Camera (MCC) locally available ISRO's Mars Orbiter Mission has caught the picture of Phobos, the nearest and greatest moon of Mars. 

The picture was taken on July 1 when MOM was around 7,200 km from Mars and 4,200 km from Phobos. 

"Spatial goals of the picture is 210 m. 

This is a composite picture produced from 6 MCC outlines and has been shading adjusted," ISRO said in an update alongside the picture.

The Mars Color Camera (MCC) installed ISRO's Mars Orbiter Mission has caught the picture of Phobos, the nearest and greatest moon of Mars. 

The picture was taken on July 1 when MOM was around 7,200 km from Mars and 4,200 km from Phobos. 

"Spatial goals of the picture is 210 m. 

This is a composite picture created from 6 MCC outlines and has been shading amended," ISRO said in an update alongside the picture. 

Phobos is to a great extent accepted to be comprised of carbonaceous chondrites. 

The strategic known as Mangalyaan was at first intended to most recent a half year, yet in this way ISRO had said it had enough fuel for it to last "numerous years." 

The nation had on September 24, 2014 effectively positioned the Mars Orbiter Mission rocket in circle around the red planet, in its absolute first endeavor, subsequently breaking into a tip top club. 

ISRO had propelled the shuttle on its nine-month-long odyssey on a homegrown PSLV rocket from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on November 5, 2013. 

It had gotten away from the world's gravitational field on December 1, 2013. 

The Rs 450-crore MOM strategic at examining the Martian surface and mineral sythesis just as sweep its climate for methane (a pointer of life on Mars). 

The Mars Orbiter has five logical instruments - Lyman Alpha Photometer (LAP), Methane Sensor for Mars (MSM), Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyser (MENCA), Mars Color Camera (MCC) and Thermal Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (TIS).
