India plans $70 million mission to Mars in 2013

“India said on Thursday it will send a $70 million space mission to Mars this year to study the red planet’s atmosphere.  The unmanned Mars orbiter mission, to be launched in October by the Indian Space Research Organisation, will undertake a 300-day journey to the planet to collect data about its climate and geology.  India says the Mars mission will mark a significant step in its space programme, which has already placed a probe on the moon and envisages its first manned mission in 2016.”
