Mangalyaan-2: Know the upcoming plans of ISRO

After Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1, ISRO is preparing to explore Mars with a mission named Mangalyaan-2, also known as Mars Orbiter Mission-2.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has multiple space exploration missions lined up alongside Mangalyaan-2 to explore Mars.

ISRO first entered Mars orbit in 2014, with its Mars Orbiter Mission and conducted interplanetary studies for eight years.

ISRO’s first Mars mission was designed for 6 months, however, it lasted for 8 long years and finally shut down in April 2022.

Now, to conduct further studies, the Indian space organisation has been rumored to be planning a new Mars orbital mission that further adds more knowledge about the red planet.

According to reports, the Mangalyaan-2 mission is currently in the development stage and as soon as it progresses, ISRO will share details.

The mission will include four major payloads which will conduct thorough interplanetary studies on the Martian atmosphere. 

The four scientific payloads will be tasked to conduct individual studies on the planet’s environment and atmosphere to gather in-depth facts.

It is reported that the Mangalyaan-2 mission aims to study the Martian atmosphere, environment, and interplanetary dust.

The studies will help researchers to analyze Mars’s evolution and early stages along with the changes it has been going through.

The Mangalyaan-2 launch date and further details are yet to be announced by ISRO.
