New Delhi: Even though Chandrayaan-2 Mission Lander loudly on the surface of the month in 2019, the saporism made a miracle as one of the eight major scientific instruments on the ship had detected “the existence of hydroxyl and water molecules” in the month.
surface.
This finding will certainly give head to ISRO because it is scheduled to launch the Lunar Mission Specific Lander next Chandrauran-3 in 2022.
Indian researchers use data obtained by infrared orbiter image shooting (IIR), intended to gather information.
From the electromagnetic spectrum of the moon, to understand the moon’s mineral composition.
Three strips on the surface of the moon were analyzed by the IIR sensor for the presence of hydration.
“Analysis of the initial data from IIR clearly showed the existence of expanding lunar hydration and the clear signature detection of OH and H2O in the month between 29 degrees north and 62 degrees of North Latitude,” the findings of Indian researchers who have recently published in science This is a journal.
Rich rock plagioclasts have been found to have higher oh or maybe H2O molecules when compared to the Mare area, which is found to have more dominance oh at higher surface temperatures, he said.
This study, written by scientists, including the former ISRO Chairperson as Kiran Kumar, from the India Institute of Remote Sensing (IIIRS), Dehradun, a space application center based in Ahmedabad, your satellite center based in Bengaluru and Isro Headquarters, said the discovery It is “important for the exploration of planets in the future for resource utilization”, as several international missions, both manned and unmanned, to the moon marching in the next few years.
The first Moon Moon Mission Chandrauran-1, launched in 2008, first confirmed the existence of water when the instrument on it – Moon Mineralogy Mapper or M3 – belonging to NASA’s JPL, the first is widely detected distributed hydration signature in the month using 3 μm Spectral using 3 μm responses .
However, due to limited spectral coverage of M3 (only up to 3 μm), the exact properties of hydration signatures cannot be ascertained.
This makes discrimination between Detection Oh and H2O it is difficult, the report said.
But the IIRS on-board Chandrauran-2, which was launched on July 22, 2019, not only native but also has been designed to measure the reflected solar radiation and emitted in a spectral range of 0.8-5.0 μm.
High spatial resolution (~ 80 m) and expanded spectral ranges are best suitable to fully characterize the hydration of the month (region 2.8-3.5 μm) which is associated with the existence of OH and H2O.
Reports from data also observed that brighter sunlit highlands in higher latitude found to have higher hydroxyl or perhaps water molecules, which are enhanced hydration, compared to large basaltic plain areas where hydroxyl seems dominant, especially at temperature Higher surface.
Thermal stability This hydration feature depends on how they interact with each other, with the surface and their environment in a certain temperature range and therefore provide important clues about their origin and evolution, the research paper said.
