Chandrayaan-4 mission: How ISRO's next Lunar mission will conduct observations on the Moon

ISRO is collaborating with JAXA to carry out its next lunar mission called the Chandrayaan-4 mission or LUPEX. Check out the step-by-step process that will launch theChandrayaan-4 mission.

For decades, scientists have been trying to find the presence of water on the surface of the moon. However, this time, scientists are trying to test the quality and quantity of water resources on the surface of the moon. They will try to collect the data around the same with the help of the LUPEX mission. To carry out this objective, scientists will follow a few steps.  (Pixabay)

The first step will be to select the investigation area and observation points on the Lunar surface with unique environmental and geological conditions. As explained by the JAXA website, the Chandrayaan-4 mission’s lander will land at a location where there are long sunlight hours so that they can deploy the rover there.  (Pexels)

When the Chandrayaan-4 mission is carried out on the lunar surface, the mission’s rover will observe up to 1.5m underground. It will try to detect the water resources in the investigation area.  (Pixabay)

According to JAXA, “The rover will be equipped to conduct observations of the chemical elements present in areas where water may possibly be distributed. If hydrogen is detected, the rover will mine the surface to collect samples. The sample will then be heated to vaporize the volatile substances in order to determine the chemical composition, analyze the quantity of water, and conduct isotopic analysis.”  (ISRO)

These steps will further take the Chandrayaan-4 mission towards its success, where it can collect all the data required by scientists to get insights about the moon. (Pixabay)
