The Indian Mars exploration missions are an ongoing series of outer space missions by ISRO for the exploration of Mars. The exploration is currently in the primary phase with Orbiter missions.
There has been a single mission so far that deployed an orbiter around the planet which later lost its contact with the earth in 2022. A second mission planned for 2030 when the launch window opens.
