The Chandrayaan-3 <\/a>mission, a significant step in India’s space exploration endeavors, has been steadily progressing, and the latest update from ISRO<\/a> has left the scientific community in awe. According to ISRO<\/a> scientists, the lunar surface has experienced tremors akin to earthquakes, a discovery that has opened up new avenues for lunar research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The journey of Chandrayaan-3<\/a> has been marked by precise planning and execution. Launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in India, the mission aimed to build upon the successes of its predecessors, Chandrayaan-1<\/a> and Chandrayaan-2.<\/a> The soft landing on the moon’s South Pole is a testament to ISRO’s<\/a> commitment to exploring uncharted lunar territories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Pragyan rover, equipped with advanced scientific instruments, has been the workhorse of the mission. It has been tirelessly traversing the lunar terrain, collecting invaluable data and transmitting it back to Earth. The discovery of moonquakes or lunar tremors adds a new dimension to our understanding of the moon’s geology and seismology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moonquakes, unlike their Earthly counterparts, are not caused by tectonic plate movements. Instead, they are primarily triggered by the gravitational interactions between the Earth and the moon, meteorite impacts, or the cooling and contracting of the moon’s interior. These tremors are relatively common but have been challenging to detect and study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ISRO’<\/a>s achievement in sensing and recording these lunar tremors will significantly contribute to our understanding of the moon’s internal structure and evolution. It will also aid in assessing the potential risks posed by moonquakes to future lunar missions and lunar habitats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n ISRO’s<\/a> Chairman, Dr. K. Sivan, expressed his excitement about this discovery and the mission’s overall success. He stated, “Chandrayaan-3<\/a> continues to exceed our expectations, and the detection of moonquakes is a remarkable achievement. This mission has laid the groundwork for future lunar exploration and has once again showcased India’s prowess in space technology.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Chandrayaan-3](\"https:\/\/newsprotv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/258-newsprotv-10-2-1024x576.png\")
