What information did Chandrayaan-1 find?
India’s Chandrayaan-1 played a crucial role in the discovery of water molecules on the Moon. Chandrayaan-1 was India’s first deep space mission. Among its suite of instruments, it carried NASA’s Moon Minerology Mapper (M3), an imaging spectrometer helped confirm the discovery of water locked in minerals on the Moon.
Who first found water in Moon?
Like Cassini, SARA found water/hydroxyl groups in the lunar soil. The discovery proved timely for ESA’s BepiColombo mission to study Mercury, which carries two similar instruments for detecting water. Chandrayaan 1’s M3 instrument detected water and hydroxyl molecules almost everywhere on the Moon too.
What is the main aim of Chandrayaan-1?
The Chandrayaan-1 mission performed high-resolution remote sensing of the moon in visible, near infrared (NIR), low energy X-rays and high-energy X-ray regions. One of the objectives was to prepare a three-dimensional atlas (with high spatial and altitude resolution) of both near and far side of the moon.
What did Chandrayaan-1 found on moon?
Chandrayaan-1 data showed evidence for water in the exosphere of Moon, on the surface of Moon and also sub-surface (tens of meters deep).
Which satellite is known as Black Moon?
