The MOM craft will cary thermal infrared imaging 
    spectrometer to map Mars’ surface composition and 
    mineralogy. These findings — coupled with the information 
    gleaned from the NASA’s Curiosity Rover — will give us a 
    better understanding of Mars’ surface, in preparation for
    the first human visitors to the Red Planet.

So serious question: why do we keep only planning on missions to Mars? It seems like setting up a permanent moonbase would be a very prudent goal to work on at the same time that we are looking to head to mars.
