Chandrayaan-3’s ChaSTE provided crucial temperature data from the Moon’s high-latitude regions, enhancing the understanding ...

Calculations show that slopes facing away from sun and towards the pole with a slope angle greater than 14 degrees will be cold enough for water-ice to accumulate in crevices or craters close to surfa ...

In August 2023, shortly after the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft notched a flawless touchdown near the lunar south pole, an instrument onboard its lander, called ChaSTE — short for Chandra's Surface ...

The Chandrayaan series has been crucial to India’s lunar exploration efforts. The first mission, Chandrayaan-1 (2008), ...

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.

New findings based on data from India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission suggest that water-ice on the Moon may be present beyond its polar regions. A recent study, conducted by scientists at the Physical ...
