ISRO Gears Up for India's Second Mars Mission
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is preparing for its second mission to Mars, Mangalyaan-2, nine years after its successful first attempt. The mission will carry four scientific instruments to study various aspects of Mars, including interplanetary dust, the Martian atmosphere, and the environment. The instruments include a Mars Orbit Dust Experiment (MODEX), a Radio Occultation (RO) experiment, an Energetic Ion Spectrometer (EIS), and a Langmuir Probe and Electric Field Experiment (LPEX). The mission aims to further explore and understand Mars' atmosphere and contribute to scientific knowledge about the red planet.
