New Delhi, 31 August : The Pragyan Rover has once again confirmed the presence of sulphur on the surface of the moon. On Thursday, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) confirmed this with the second instrument installed in the Pragyan rover. Recently, the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) instrument mounted on the rover revealed the presence of sulphur on the lunar surface.
So far, the presence of elements like aluminium, silicon, calcium, and iron has been detected on the lunar surface through APXS. Apart from this, many minor elements, including sulphur, have also been confirmed.
ISRO also shared the rover’s rotation on X. ISRO said the rover was rotated in search of a safe route. The rotation was captured by the lander imager camera. This scene seemed as if a child was playing pranks in Chandamama’s courtyard, and the mother was watching affectionately.
