Bangalore, India – The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has made an exciting announcement regarding the Chandrayaan-3 mission. The Vikram Lander’s Lunar Seismic Instrument (ILSA) has successfully detected tremors on the Moon, marking a significant breakthrough in the ongoing program.
ILSA, an advanced state-of-the-art instrument developed at the Electro-Optics System (LEOS) laboratory in Bangalore, was installed on the Vikram lander for the first time. Its primary purpose is to monitor seismic activity on the Moon and determine if earthquakes occur on the lunar surface.
ISRO released a statement highlighting the advanced technology deployed in Chandrayaan-3, stating, “ILSA includes a set of six highly sensitive accelerometers specifically designed to study vibrations on the Moon. All these are manufactured in-house using silicon micromachining technology.”
Currently, the instrument is recording vibrations caused by the movements of rovers and other payloads on the Moon. However, ILSA also captured a natural earthquake event that occurred on August 26, igniting further excitement and prompting an investigation into the seismic activity.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission has already achieved significant milestones. The Vikram lander successfully landed on the moon’s south pole for the first time, confirming the presence of various elements such as aluminum, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon, oxygen, sulfur, and sulfur.
“The recording of earthquakes on the moon is a breakthrough achievement. It further solidifies the progress we have made with the Chandrayaan-3 program,” stated ISRO.
As India’s lunar exploration program advances, scientists eagerly anticipate new insights and data that can be gained from ILSA’s seismic observations. This development not only showcases India’s technological advancements but also elevates its position in the global space exploration arena.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission has gained international attention, and the successful recording of lunar tremors is yet another testament to the remarkable progress being made in understanding our celestial neighbor.
With each milestone achieved, India’s space agency continues to push the boundaries of scientific exploration, inspiring the world with its dedication to space research and discovery.
