Mangalyaan-2: How the second Mars mission is different from MOM-1

ISRO is planning Mars orbiter mission 2. Know how Mangalyaan-2 will be different from the first mission.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning the second mission to Mars after 9 years of its first mission to enter the orbit of the Red Planet. Both the missions have significant time gaps, which makes the second mission more advanced in terms of knowledge and technology. (Pixabay)

The first Mars mission was equipped with five scientific payloads, each on a mission to reveal a new secret about the Red Planet: its surface features, morphology, mineralogy, and atmosphere. The Mangalyaan-2 mission will have four payloads which will focus on interplanetary dust, and the Martian atmosphere and environment. (Pixabay)
