Mangalyaan-2 mission: All you wanted to know about ISRO’s Mars mission in brief

ISRO is now looking to pay Mars a second visit. Now, it plans to study the red planet’s environment and atmosphere.

Mars Orbiter Mission-2 also known as Mangalyaan-2 mission will carry out four payloads to conduct studies on the planet. Within these payloads are scientific instruments tailored to explore the characteristics of the inhabited planet. (Pixabay)
