The initial observations from the Chandra Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) payload on the Chandrayaan-3 Vikram lander were made public on Sunday by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
According to ISRO’s most recent release, ChaSTE has measured the temperature profile of the lunar topsoil near the south pole.
According to the space agency, ChaSTE contains a temperature probe with a regulated penetration mechanism that can go 10 cm below the surface. This information was posted on social networking platform X, which was formerly Twitter. There are ten separate temperature sensors on the probe.
An ISRO graph depicts how the temperature of the lunar surface changes with depth. The probe captured changes in lunar surface and near-surface temperatures at various depths. The first temperature-depth profile of the Moon’s south pole, according to ISRO, was produced by Chandrayaan-3.
