From the reviews:
“‘Mission Mars’ is a short but good introduction to the mission’s architecture, goals and background. … This brief book is in a way also an overview of why go to Mars at all and also why India decided on a Mars mission after their successful Chandrayaan mission. … Lele also describes the conditions on Mars and some of the other future mission to Mars that will be launch either in this launch window or the next one. … I found it a really enjoyable book.” (Kadri Tinn, AstroMadness.com, October, 2013)()
