Chandrayaan-3’s Pragyan rover confirms presence of sulphur in lunar surface near south pole

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has said the Pragyan rover’s Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope confirmed the presence of sulphur in the lunar surface near the south pole, through the first-ever in-situ measurements. In a social media post, ISRO said, the rover’s spectroscope also detected Aluminium, Calcium, Ferrous (Iron), Chromium, Titanium, Manganese, Silicon and Oxygen as expected. It added that the search for hydrogen is underway. India scripted history on August 23 by becoming the first country to touch down on the moon’s South Pole.
