ISRO is aiming to make India the first nation to land a rover near Moon's south pole and study the potential for mining waste-free nuclear fuel that could be worth trillions of dollars. ISRO will launch Chandrayaan-2 in October to analyse crust samples for signs of helium-3, which could meet global energy demands for 250 years if harnessed from Moon.
The mission will cost around ₹800 crore.
It's cheaper than Hollywood sci-fi Interstellar.
