This image captured by the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter shows the location of Shiv Shakti point, where the Vikram lander of the Chandrayaan-3 mission descended, and the surrounding terrain.

This new understanding of lunar ice distribution could significantly impact the planning and execution of upcoming lunar missions. India made history when it landed Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander on ...

Measurements were taken by the 'ChaSTE' probe on-board the Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander. The lander touched down at the edge of the Moon's south pole region, about 69 degrees south latitude.

For this study, the researchers analysed temperatures measured at and to a depth of 10 centimetres beneath the lunar surface. Measurements were taken by the 'ChaSTE' probe on-board the Chandrayaan-3's ...

The model indicated that, for slopes facing away from the Sun and towards the nearest pole, a slope with a greater than 14 ° angle may be cool enough for ice to accumulate close to the surface.

Chandrayaan-3’s Groundbreaking Findings Durga Prasad and colleagues analyzed temperature readings from Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander, which carried the ChaSTE temperature probe. The lander touched ...

Firefly Aerospace's Blue Ghost lunar lander is on track to make a historic landing on the Moon's surface. The spacecraft has been reducing its orbit around the Moon in preparation for the historic ...

Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram lander touched down on 23 August 2023. It released a rover called Pragyan, which collected data ranging from temperature to seismological measurements over 10 days.
