Chandrayaan-2 finds evidence of water and manganese in the form of ice on the lunar surface

Announcement made at a two-day conference organized by ISRO

X-ray spectrometer detects chromium and minerals on lunar surface while atmospheric explorer detects argon gas

There were indications of radioactive activity at the highest and middle longitudes of the moon

BANGALORE: The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has said that some of the most important discoveries have been made by various modern devices installed on Chandrayaan-2 floating in lunar orbit. With the help of some modern instruments fitted on the spacecraft, signs of water in the form of ice were detected inside the lunar surface, ISRO said.

The state-of-the-art devices fitted by ISRO on Chandrayaan-2 include Large Area Soft X-ray Spectrometer, Solar X-ray Monitor, Chandras Atmospheric Composite Explorer, Dual Frequency Synthetic Radar, Imaging Infrared, Imaging Infrared. Orbit included a high resolution camera and dual frequency radio.

Earlier this week, ISRO launched the Lunar Science Workshop Engaged Release of Chandrayaan-2 Data, a two-day conference on the topic of lunar science. Was lying.

Acting as Chairman of ISRO and Secretary in the Department of Space. Shiva inaugurated the convention. Shiva presented a comprehensive account of some of the important discoveries made by Chandrayaan's various instruments at the convention.

According to the information presented by the Chairman of ISRO, the Chandras Atmospheric Composite Explorer discovered and studied in-depth the argon air in the area around the upper and middle latitudes of the Moon.

His study found that radioactive activities were taking place in the highest and middle latitudes of the moon. In addition, chromium and manganese were found on the surface of the moon using a large area soft X-ray spectrometer.
