Ongoing search for Hydrogen on the Moon using Chandrayaan-3's moon rover Pragyan and its LIBS instrument. Scientists are particularly interested in finding Hydrogen as it holds valuable information about the distribution of water ice or hydroxyl molecules on the lunar surface.
Chandrayaan-3 deployed RAMBHA-LP to study lunar plasma. Langmuir probe measures electron densities, operates independently post-landing. Initial data reveals sparse plasma near south pole. Insights into lunar charging and solar interactions expected. RAMBHA-LP developed by Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre's Space Physics Laboratory.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission's moon rover, Pragyan, using its LIBS instrument, has already detected various elements like Al, Ca, Fe, Cr, Ti, Mn, Si, and O on the lunar surface. Examining the plasma surrounding the lunar surface, scientists have also discovered that it is relatively sparse, with a number density ranging from approximately 5 to 30 million electrons per cubic meter. This information is crucial for studying the moon's interaction with its environment and planning future lunar missions. Mine final renders need to increase the interaction with Indian Lunar Mission Chandrayaan-3.
