Mangalyaan carried five scientific payloads to study Mars' surface features, morphology, mineralogy and atmosphere as well as Mars' surface temperature. These payloads included a Methane Sensor for Mars (MSM) to detect methane in Mars' atmosphere, a Lyman Alpha Photometer (LAP) to measure deuterium to hydrogen ratio to understand water loss on Mars, a Mars Exospheric Neutral Composition Analyser (MENCA) to measure the composition and variability of neutral gases in the Martian exosphere, a Thermal Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (TIS) to study Mars' surface mineralogy and thermophysical features, and a Mars Color Camera (MCC) to image surface features and
