Scientists around the world have come to understand that the Moon is the stepping stone for the future of human species beyond the Earth.
Moon Mineralogy Mapper , one of the 11 instruments on Chandrayaan-I has detected iron-bearing minerals in a lunar crater.
The crater is rich in olivine, which contains iron. Olivine can tell us about Moon and the Earth.
The current expectation is that water-ice is buried in lunar poles.
- Chandrayaan-i Moon Mission Over
Ten months after it was launched, India's maiden moon mission the Chandrayaan-1 came to an abrupt end today after ISRO lost communication with the spacecraft. Project Director of the Chandrayaan-1 mission said that the mission is over as we have lost...
- No Water Ice Found In Japanese Lunar Mission
Japanese Selene lunar orbiter have failed to detect any signs of water in permanently shaded craters around the South pole of the Moon. Although the Japanese lunar orbiter found no ice it did find a crater much deeper than other lunar craters of a similar...
- Chandrayaan Likely To Join U.s Spacecraft For Water Probe
India's Chandrayaan-I probe will be joining two U.S spacecraft to be launched this year in looking for water on the Moon. NASA plans to launch the Lunar Reconnaissance (LRO)as well as the Lunar Crater Observation an Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) on an...
- Chandrayaan Has Completed 100 Days In Space Today
Chandrayaan has completed 100 days in space today and has confirmed the presence of iron and has picked up x-ray signals from its cratered terrain. 70 scientists including members from NASA and ESA will meet in ISRO. The unique set of equipments of Chandrayaan...
