The robotic lunar exploration mission included a lunar orbiter and an impactor called the <a href="/wiki/Moon_Impact_Probe" title="Moon Impact Probe">Moon Impact Probe</a>. ISRO launched it using a modified version of the PSLV on 22 October 2008 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. It entered lunar orbit on 8 November 2008, carrying high-resolution remote sensing equipment for visible, near infrared, and soft and hard X-ray frequencies. During its 312-day operational period (two years were planned), it surveyed the lunar surface to produce a complete map of its chemical characteristics and three-dimensional topography. The polar regions were of special interest, as they had possible <a href="/wiki/Lunar_ice" class="mw-redirect" title="Lunar ice">ice</a> deposits.

href="/wiki/Electromagnetic_spectrum" title="Electromagnetic spectrum">electromagnetic spectrum</a>, a scarce resource for wireless communication, is auctioned by the Government of India to telecom companies for use. As an example of its value, in 2010, 20 <a href="/wiki/Megahertz" class="mw-redirect" title="Megahertz">MHz</a> of <a href="/wiki/3G" title="3G">3G</a> spectrum was <a href="/wiki/Indian_Telecom_Spectrum_Auction" title="Indian Telecom Spectrum Auction">auctioned</a> for <span class="nowrap"><span style="white-space: nowrap">₹</span>677 billion</span> (US$7.8&#160;billion). This part of the spectrum is allocated for terrestrial communication (cell phones). However, in January 2005, Antrix Corporation (commercial arm of ISRO) signed an agreement with Devas Multimedia (a private company formed by former ISRO employees and venture capitalists from the US) for lease of <a href="/wiki/S_band" title="S band">S band</a> transponders (amounting to 70&#160;MHz of spectrum) on two ISRO satellites (GSAT 6 and GSAT 6A) for a price of <span class="nowrap"><span style="white-space: nowrap">₹</span>14 billion</span> (US$160&#160;million), to be paid over a period of 12 years. The spectrum used in these satellites (2500&#160;MHz and above) is allocated by the <a href="/wiki/International_Telecommunication_Union" title="International Telecommunication Union">International Telecommunication Union</a> specifically for satellite-based communication in India. Hypothetically, if the spectrum allocation is changed for utilisation for terrestrial transmission and if this 70&#160;MHz of spectrum were sold at the 2010 auction price of the 3G spectrum, its value would have been over <span class="nowrap"><span style="white-space: nowrap">₹</span>2,000 billion</span> (US$23&#160;billion). This was a hypothetical situation.
