Mangalyaan has outdone itself. India’s Mars Orbiter completed its prime mission – to orbit the red planet for six months to allow for observation and experiments – in March. But it's still going strong. As the spacecraft makes its 100th orbit of Mars this week, all its systems and payloads seem to be working fine. The India Space Research Organisation launched Mangalyaan in November 2013 from Sriharikota and set it into the Martian orbit in September 2014.

ISRO reported that Mangalyaan’s payloads – including the colour camera – were last operated in May and were functioning satisfactorily. The Mars Colour Camera has taken 405 images of the Red Planet in its 100 orbits revealing incredible details of its topography. The orbiter has sent back images of dust storms, large craters, enormous canyons and the moon Phobos hovering above Mars.

ISRO says it will resume all payload operations again in a few weeks when we might expect more stunning views of Mars. Till then, here is a refresher of what Mangalyaan has allowed us to see of Mars since it went into orbit last September.
