The mission would be around the Earth. A few equipment are being planned for that. We hope for the launch between 2017 and 2020, ISRO chairman said. Apart from Aditya, space habitat studies were also being planned in these three years. ISROs next in line was IRNSS 1-B, the second of seven satellites, which form the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System -- an Indian equivalent of USAs Global Positioning System.Updating on ISROs ambitious inter-planetary mission to the Mars, he said the Mars Orbiter Mission, launched on November 5 last year, had travelled over one third of the total distance of 680 million km.
