• The Mars Atlas released by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) was an important publication related to India's Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), also known as Mangalyaan.

• It was a digital compilation of MOM's trajectory - True. The Mars Atlas included digital compilations of the spacecraft's trajectory data as it orbited Mars.

• It included scientific images from the first year of orbit - True. The Mars Atlas featured numerous scientific images captured by MOM's cameras and scientific instruments during its first year in Martian orbit.

• It was published by the Ministry of Earth Sciences - False. The Mars Atlas was published by ISRO itself, which comes under the Department of Space, not the Ministry of Earth Sciences.
