How ISRO modified lunar orbiter into Mars orbiter Mangalyaan; read

"After the performance of Chandrayaan-1, which found evidence of water on the lunar surface during its one year of operation, the Indian Space agency was working on Chandrayaan-2 along with the Russians," Dr Annadurai said. "ISRO was to make a modified orbiter and Russia was to come up with a lander. But it so happened that the Russians backed out, stating that they had to modify their lander," he added. While the Russians had stepped back with regards delivering the lander, India still had an orbiter ready, but also knew that making a lander in-house would take another 7-8 years. That was when the idea of using the existing orbiter to fulfil another mission struck the ISRO team.
