Chandrayaan-3 data reveals widespread ice deposits beneath the Moon's polar surface, offering insights into their origins and development, with implications for future lunar exploration.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission, launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) from Bengaluru, achieved a soft landing near the Moon's south pole on August 23, 2023
The moon holds many secrets, and India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission is unlocking them. Scientists from ISRO have now estimated the age of the Shiv Shakti point, the landing site, to be 3.7 billion years.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has sparked fresh excitement among science enthusiasts.
India's Chandrayaan-3 mission has detected over 250 seismic signals in the Moon's south polar region.
Notably, researchers identified about 50 instances where the seismic signal amplitude significantly deviated from the expected background levels.
The price of Brent, the global crude benchmark, rose 2.5 percent to trade at almost $81 per barrel.
ISRO Chairman S Somanath emphasized the importance of making this data widely available. "This data is not going to be confined with those scientists who have created those instruments, but it will be made available to all the researchers of the country and the world for furthering the outcome of this," Somanath stated during the National Space Day celebrations in New Delhi.
To honor the success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission and inspire future generations, the Union Government officially declared August 23 as National Space Day in 2023.
India is all set to celebrate its maiden National Space Day on August 23, 2024, marking the anniversary of Chandrayaan-3’s historic moon landing.
ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 mission has provided new evidence supporting the theory of a "magma ocean" on the Moon. Data from the lunar south pole reveals significant insights into the Moon’s early evolution and crust composition.
ISRO Chandrayaan-3's Prayag rover has made a new discovery on Moon's south pole according to the new data provided by the rover. On August 23, 2023, the rover landed on the surface of the Moon on Vikaram Lander.
Despite having an offer from Stanford University for an MS in Aeronautics and Astronautics, Parth Tiwari chose to work for ISRO, driven by his desire to contribute to India's space capabilities.
Drawing a stark comparison, Syed Mustafa Kamal lamented the apparent lag in Karachi's development, juxtaposed against India's technological leaps, as exemplified by the Chandrayaan-3 mission.
Stating that space research is a continuous process, Somanath said India is on the trajectory of 'great progress'.

The laser beam was transmitted and reflected between the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and an Oreo-sized device on Vikram lander, opening the door to a new style of precisely locating targets on the Moon's surface, NASA said.
Much before it sent Congress reeling earlier this month with three wins in the Hindi heartland, BJP and PM Modi were hard at work packaging a platter for serving out to voters with ingredients ranging from India’s global standing to Hindutva signalling why the Modi government deserves another chance in 2024. The INDIA alliance looks woefully ill-prepared to convince voters that they have a better alternative to offer

"The probable impact point was predicted over the North Pacific Ocean. The final ground track did not pass over India," the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said in a statement.
"Our missions started almost simultaneously. Chandrayaan-3's notable aspect was its landing on the southern pole (of the moon), an untouched region. We are gathering crucial data on the atmosphere, minerals and thermal conditions, and analysing the findings", he told reporters here.
Times have changed and India is capable of building the best of devices and rockets and that is why Prime Minister Narendra Modi has opened the space sector to private players, he said at an event here.
Modi also spoke of India's successful Chandrayaan-3 mission saying, it reached that part of the moon where no other country could.
