Sriharikota: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Sunday released the first observations from the payload onboard Vikram Lander. For the first time in the history of world space science, profiled the soil of the south pole of the moon, its temperature variation up till 10cm beneath the surface.
Nearly four days after the successful soft-landing of ISRO’s Chandrayaan-3, it wrote on platform X, “Here are the first observations from the ChaSTE payload onboard Vikram Lander. ChaSTE (Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment) measures the temperature profile of the lunar topsoil around the pole, to understand the thermal behaviour of the moon’s surface”.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi this morning lauded the women scientists of ISRO and said that India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission is a living example of women’s power. Addressing the 104th episode of his monthly radio program, Mann ki Baat, PM Modi said, “The successful mission of Chnadrayaan-3 is also a living example of women’s power. Many women scientists and engineers have been directly involved in this entire mission”.
Mission Chandrayaan has become a symbol of the spirit of new India, which wants to win under all circumstances and knows how to win in any situation, hailed PM Modi.
