Russia Prepares Lunar Program to Recover Energy Resources

Russia is preparing to launch an ambitious lunar project which could provide access to alternative energy resources, a company involved in the project said Tuesday.

“The lunar project is aimed at recovering resources such as helium-3,” said Nikolai Sevastyanov, the president and chief designer of leading Russian spacecraft-maker Energia. This isotope could be used to produce fuel when the earth’s own energy resources become depleted.
