Space: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) On Tuesday said that a Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) instrument onboard the Rover unambiguously confirmed the presence of Sulphur (S) on the moon surface near the south pole, through the first-ever in-situ measurements.
In a post on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), ISRO further said, “The instrument also detected aluminum, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon, and oxygen, as expected. While the search for hydrogen (H) is underway.”
LIBS instrument was developed at the Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems (LEOS)/ISRO, Bengaluru.
