Chandrayaan-2 observed the Moon’s first CME effects. CHACE-2 detected solar activity, boosting exosphere pressure and atom density, revealing lunar space weather and exploration insights.
The study was carried out by the scientists of Space Applications Centre (SAC)/ISRO, in collaboration with researchers at IIT Kanpur, University of Southern California, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad
The book by S Somnath, which loosely translates to "lions that drank the moonlight," reportedly had critical remarks about former ISRO Chief K Sivan and the failure of Chandriyaan-2.

"In case, if any factor appears to be not favourable, then we will land the module on the Moon on August 27," a senior ISRO official said.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission by ISRO is set to make history with its much-anticipated lunar landing. Former ISRO director K Sivan shares insights into the space agency's innovative approach, drawing from Chandrayaan-2's lessons. Watch the video to know more!
Sivan says based on the lessons learnt from Chandrayaan 2, the current system is going with more ruggedness
"The next firing, the TransLunar Injection (TLI), is planned for August 1, 2023, between 12 midnight and 1 am IST,” added ISRO, which had launched the Chandrayaan-3 mission to the Moon on July 14.
