ISRO Reports First Update Made From ChaSTE Payload Onboard Vikram Lander | Chandrayaan-3 Updates

ISRO has put out a tweet telling about the 1st observations made from ChaSTE payload onboard Vikram Lander. ChaSTE (Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment) measures temperature profile of the lunar...: Kitty Behal walks us through ISRO's tweet. "Chandrayaan-3 Mission: Here are the first observations from the ChaSTE payload onboard Vikram Lander. ChaSTE (Chandra's Surface Thermophysical Experiment) measures the temperature profile of the lunar topsoil around the pole, to understand the thermal behaviour of the moon's surface. It has a temperature probe equipped with a controlled penetration mechanism capable of reaching a depth of 10 cm beneath the surface. The probe is fitted with 10 individual temperature sensors. The presented graph illustrates the temperature variations of the lunar surface/near-surface at various depths, as recorded during the probe's penetration. This is the first such profile for the lunar south pole. Detailed observations are underway. The payload is developed by a team led by the Space Physics Laboratory (SPL), VSSC, collaboration with PRL, Ahmedabad" ISRO Tweeted. #isro #chandrayaan3landerupdate #chandrayaan3updates #chandrayaan2moonlander #latestupdates Times Network takes the lead with its ground-breaking innovation and disruption of a new content category.
