The Moon Mission which is Cheaper than Interstellar Movie

India's next moon mission Chandrayan 2 is cheaper than Hollywood movie Interstellar.The cost of the movie is Rs 1062 cr ($165 million) and the budget for chandrayan2 is 800cr.

ISRO Chairman Dr K Sivan said "Simplifying the system, miniaturising the complex big system, strict quality control and maximising output from a product make our space missions frugal and cost-effective. We keep strict vigil on each and every stage of development of a spacecraft or a rocket and, therefore, we are able to avoid wastage of products, which helps us minimise the mission cost."

Chandrayan 2 will perform soft landing and rover on moon's surface. This is going to be another big achievement of ISRO.
