Bengaluru: ISRO released the new findings of Chandrayaan 3, which is exploring the lunar soil. The rover’s experiment confirmed the presence of sulfur on the moon’s surface.
The rover’s Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) instrument detected the presence of sulfur at the moon’s south pole. In addition to sulfur, Libs also confirmed the presence of the elements aluminum, calcium, chromium, iron, titanium, silicon, and magnesium.
This is the first time that the presence of sulphur, etc., has been confirmed by direct chemical analysis of the soil on the lunar surface. ISRO has announced that it is continuing to test whether there is hydrogen in the lunar soil. Libs was developed by Electro-Optics Systems (LEOS), Bengaluru.

The rover, a 26 kg robotic vehicle, has two experimental instruments. . The chemical composition of the lunar surface Examination of Inert Substances Alpha particle X-ray used for Spectrometer (APX) on the Moon About the components of water and rocks Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy by RAM (Libs) are the instruments in the rover.
Magnesium and aluminum present in lunar soil Ni, silicon, potassium, calcium, iron, titania “Libs” is about the combination of elements called “yum”. Carry out the load test. 99 percent of the Moon is soil and rock due to these seven elements. Science finds that they are included.
