Bin ja eher skeptisch, was den Abbau von Bodenschätzen auf dem #Mond angeht, aber was Forschende aus #Indien anhand der Daten von #Chandrayaan3 herausgefunden haben, ist schon gigantisch. Das bestätigt die kühnsten Hoffnungen. Zumindest eine dauerhaft bewohnte #Mondstation wird damit wahrscheinlicher.

Planetary science: More potential locations for ice on Moon

Ice may be present a few centimetres below the #Moon’s surface in more areas of the lunar polar regions than was previously thought due to large, yet highly localised, variations in surface temperatures. The results, published in Communications Earth & Environment, are derived from direct measurements taken at the lunar surface in 2023 by the Indian #Chandrayaan3 mission.

Возвращение лунного скитальца: зачем Индия вернула двигательный модуль Chandrayaan-3 на Землю

Chandrayaan-3 — первая индийская миссия, достигшая поверхности Луны. Это третья (после «Чандраян-2» и «Чандраян-1») автоматическая межпланетная станция (АМС) индийской организации космических исследований для изучения Луны. Миссия включала посадочный модуль и луноход. «Доставщик», т. е. двигательный модуль, смог успешно выйти на орбиту вокруг Луны, после чего от него отделились «пассажиры» — уже упоминаемые посадочная платформа и ровер. Несколько дней назад выяснилось, что индийскому космическому агентству удалось вернуть на землю двигательный модуль. После выполнения ряда манёвров он смог прилететь обратно на Землю, выйдя на орбиту планеты. Зачем понадобилось возвращать этот аппарат?

‘No salaries in last 18 months’: Workers who made parts for ISRO satellite launches stage protest

Employees of the government-owned Heavy Engineering Corporation say they have been struggling to make ends meet. On September 17, BBC Hindi had reported that some employees of the Heavy Engineering Corporation who contributed in building a launchpad for the Indian Space Research Organisation had taken up odd jobs, including selling idlis, tea and momos, by the roadside in Ranchi.

India’s Vikram lander has detected the first sign of a moonquake since the 1970s. The lander, part of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, landed on the lunar south pole on August 23, 2021. The moonquake could reveal new insights into the moon’s interior structure and evolution.
