India plans to launch its first interpkanetary mission next year. The probe will be sent to Mars. The mission will attempt to build on the success of India's first lunar prrobe, which discovered water on the surface of the Moon.
The Mars probe will be basic, but it wil help establish India as a space power. That is one factor in an ongoing contest among India, China, and Japan for leadership in Asia, much as the Space Race of the 1960s was one factor in the contest between the United States and the Soviet Union.
