Chandrayaan-3’s Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) has made a groundbreaking discovery by finding water ice on the Moon’s south pole, unlocking some of its hot secrets. The in-situ temperature measurements conducted by ChaSTE have revealed surface temperatures higher than previously anticipated. These findings play a pivotal role in comprehending lunar thermophysics and identifying potential water-ice deposits, which are crucial for future human habitat and exploration missions. The research, filling significant knowledge voids, has been documented in Nature Communications Earth & Environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
