ISRO Unveils Chandrayaan-2 Data to Enhance Polar Moon Research Efforts

The Indian Space Research Organisation has released critical data from the Chandrayaan-2 mission, enhancing research into the Moons polar regions using advanced radar technology.

• The Indian Space Research Organisation has unveiled data from the Chandrayaan-2 mission, featuring high-resolution images of the Moons polar regions obtained through its Dual Frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar.
• Scientists at ISROs Space Applications Centre processed approximately 1400 radar datasets to create detailed polarimetric mosaics for the North and South Poles of the Moon.
• The innovative use of Synthetic-aperture radar technology allows researchers to better understand the dielectric properties of the lunar surface in the polar regions of Earth.
