๐ Chandrayaan 3's Rover Payloads: Unveiling Lunar Mysteries! ๐
1. LASER Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS): Through the magic of light, LIBS conducts qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis, unraveling chemical compositions and revealing lunar mineralogy. A journey of discovery on the lunar surface! ๐ฌ๐
2. Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS): Diving into lunar tales, APXS delves into elementsโMg, Al, Si, K, Ca, Ti, Feโembedded in the lunar soil and rocks near the landing site. A celestial voyage shedding light on lunar history! โจ๐ช
These cutting-edge tools are onboard Chandrayaan 3's rover, leading the way to an exciting lunar expedition. ๐๐ฐ #Chandrayaan3 #LunarExploration #RoverPayloads

Rover will enter sleep mode after 14 days ( 1 lunar day). And system will try to wake up once sun rises again . If it calls back we are lucky - @isro chairman at TVM

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.

For layman's
ChaSTE, is telling us about the Moon's surface warmth!
They're studying the Moon's heat patterns using a special tool that digs 10cm deep.
Cool Science Coming!โค๏ธ

So Temperature dropped as it went deeper
