What Mooncraft Chandrayaan 3 has discovered

Chandrayaan 3 builds on its prior accomplishments. Both the Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover are effectively carrying out their missions after successfully touching down on the Moon's surface. These are the accomplishments they have made thus far.

On August 23 at 6:04 p.m., the Vikram lander, which was launched with Chandrayaan 3, made a successful landing on the lunar surface. Following that, three hours later, the Pragyan rover successfully began its mission by landing on the lunar surface via a ramp that extended from the lander's side panel. With the aid of its numerous payloads, the Vikram lander is analysing the surface and atmosphere of the moon alongside the Pragyan rover. The Pragyan rover and Vikram lander have disclosed numerous insights about since August 23.

The temperature of the Moon's surface is one of them. On August 27, the Vikram Lander's Chandra Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) payload discovered a temperature of 70 degrees Celsius on the moon's surface. This was unexpected, said ISRO scientist BHM Darukesha. It was believed that the temperature on the moon's surface may range between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius, but instead, they reported that the temperature was 70 degrees Celsius.

The discovery of numerous elements, such as oxygen and sulphur, on the moon was another accomplishment made by the Pragyan rover and Vikram lander. The Pragyan rover has specifically found sulphur on the moon, along with aluminium, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, and manganese, silicon and oxygen according to ISRO.
