India's 2013 mission to Mars could only be a beginning. India soon will be launching its second mission to the moon, Chandryaan-2, with a lander and rover. A mission to study the Sun, called Aditya, is also being readied. Speaking exclusively to NDTV’s Science Editor Pallava Bagla, the director of the Space Application Centre (SAC), Ahmedabad Dr. Kiran Kumar, spills the beans that a second mission to Mars could be undertaken in 2018.
