As of now, ISRO has not revealed much about the Mangalyaan-2 mission, however, we expect that as soon as the mission development progresses we will get to know more about it. Furthermore, the timeline of the mission is important, as the first Mangalyaan mission was supposed to last for 6-months, however, it further continued its journey for many more years. (NASA)
