As expected, the Mangalyaan, which weighs 1,350kg, will take about 10 months to fly 400 million kilometers through space to reach the orbit of the red planet.

Mangalyaan will carry five scientific devices made by India to study the Martian atmosphere, in search of traces of methane - a sign of the existence of life; Take color photos of the red planet and find out if there is water on it.

According to Indian officials, the upcoming Mars exploration mission will mark an important step in the country's space exploration program.

It is known that in 2008, India successfully launched Chandrayaan-1 onto orbit the moon and then announced the discovery of the existence of the country on "Sister Hang".

This mission is considered a pride and a stepping stone for the implementation of South Asia's ambitious Mars exploration program.
