Singh pledged that India will launch a scientific mission to Mars, in November 2013.
The mission will cost around eighty-two million dollars, and utilize India's already growing rocket industry.
He also announced that a mission is being planned, which would send a rover to the moon, and another that would be a manned space mission.
Critics of the Prime Minister suggest that he should prioritize his goals, as the country can't maintain it's power grid or supply the entire country with clean water.
The Indian government responded by denying that there were any priority issues, saying that the mission was being done at that time, as the window is only open once every twenty-six months.
