Finding water-ice on Moon: Chandrayaan-3 unlocks some 'hot' secrets

Chandrayaan-3's Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) achieved unprecedented in-situ temperature measurements at the Moon's south pole, revealing higher than expected surface temperatures. These findings are crucial for understanding lunar thermophysics and potential water-ice deposits, which are essential for human habitat and exploration. The research, bridging critical knowledge gaps, was published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment.
