The Mars Orbiter Mission of India was launched in _____.
2013
The question asks about the launch year of India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), popularly known as Mangalyaan.
The Mars Orbiter Mission was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on 5 November 2013 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.
The spacecraft was successfully inserted into Mars orbit on 24 September 2014, in its very first attempt.
This achievement made India the first country in the world to reach Mars orbit on its maiden attempt, and the fourth space agency to reach Mars after the USSR, NASA and ESA.
It was also one of the most cost-effective interplanetary missions ever undertaken, built on a modest budget.
The years 2006, 2009 and 2019 are incorrect because no Indian Mars mission was launched in those years; 2019 was instead the year of the Chandrayaan-2 lunar mission.
Hence, the Mars Orbiter Mission of India was launched in 2013.
