The Indian Space
Research Organization (ISRO) has laid its eye on Mars this time. After
its successful journey to the moon, ISRO officials hope to start this
project in 2013. Similar to Chandrayaan-1, this one will also be an
unmanned spacecraft.
Unlike NASA’s Curiosity
rover landing on Mars, this project will study its geology while
orbiting the planet. According to the news service AFP, an estimated 70
to 90 million dollars (approx. 4 to 5 billion rupees) will be spent on
this project. The Government of India for the time being has allocated
funds of 22.4 million dollars (1.25 billion rupees) to this project.
ISRO’s director Deviprasad Karnik has informed the press that the work
on this Mars mission will start as soon as the Department of Science
gives the permission to go through the project and prepares a schedule
for next year.
Once the construction is complete the spacecraft will take flight on the 320-ton Indian Polar Satellite
Launch Vehicle rocket from Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. ISRO has also
planned to conduct its first manned mission to the moon in the year
2016.
sure we will be on mars
