Interesting results from Chandrayaan-1
Data obtained by the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3)
on board Chandrayaan-1, jointly analyzed by ISRO
and NASA scientists, led to detection of Hydroxyl
(OH) and Water (H2O) molecule on lunar surface
rocks soils. This is major discovery in
Planetary Science and has tremendous implications
in planning future long-term lunar and planetary
exploration.
