At the moon’s poles, even small variations in topography can make for significant differences in surface temperature—as demonstrated neatly by Chandrayaan-3’s landing site measurements.

Astronomers are excited to be poring over the first ever detailed geological map of the moon’s south polar region, where India’s Chandrayaan ... the Chandrayaan-3 landing zone.

Cold traps play a crucial role in this area since they hold potential ... up to explore the South Pole, a successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 would serve as proof of advancing technology and ...

The results suggest higher latitudes on the moon with slopes that face its poles share conditions similar to those at Chandrayaan-3's landing site. These regions typically receive less intense ...

Chandrayaan-3, launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) from Bengaluru, successfully achieved a soft landing on the Moon’s south pole on 23 August 2023. The landing site, ...

Interestingly, however, a meter from the landing, where the surface was horizontal, temperatures were at a slightly lower 60°C. Chandrayaan-3's findings on lunar ice formation They also created a ...

the space agency opted for a failure-based design in Chandrayaan-3. "We expanded the area of landing from 500m x 500m to four km by 2.5 km. It can land anywhere, so it doesn't limit you to target ...

A recent study based on Chandrayaan-3 data suggests ice deposits may be more widespread beneath the Moon’s polar surface than previously thought. Scientists believe local temperature changes ...
