Chandrayaan-3: Vikram lander seismic probe detects Moonquakes

[ad_1] Chandrayaan-3 lander made a successful landing on the lunar surface on August 23, 2023, and ever since the Pragyan rover rolled out of it, it has been exploring and studying the moon. Earlier the rover found the presence of sulphur, oxygen and other elements on the south pole of the moon which is a huge discovery and it can unveil so many facts about the Moon. Recently, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) shared an update on the study which said Vikram Lander has recorded “natural” seismic activity.

Vikram lander records natural event on lunar surface, says ISRO

[ad_1] The Instrument of Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) payload on Chandrayaan-3's lander module Vikram recorded a natural event that occurred on the lunar surface on August 26, the source of which is still under investigation, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said on Thursday."The Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) payload on the Chandrayaan 3 Lander is the first instance of a Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology-based instrument on the moon. It has recorded the vibrations occurring due to the movements of Rover and other payloads," ISRO said. Taking to social media platform X, the space agency said, "Additionally, it has recorded an event, appearing to be a natural one, on August 26, 2023. The source of this event is under investigation." ILSA comprises...
