Hello to all the beautiful ladies and gentleman of this amazing community #steemit!


Dear Steemians,

Wholehearted greetings to all of you! In this publication, we will endeavor to talk about the untold facts of the mission “Chandrayaan- 1” that how it has contributed in the research of finding water on the surface of the Moon. So immediately, how about we begin this intriguing dialog!

Introduction :

In the year 2018, NASA has published a report in which they have referenced that water is available on the surface of Moon; particularly in the polar cap; for example the North Pole and the South Pole. They have likewise referenced that the Chandrayaan-1 mission has assumed a significant job in the exploration. Along these lines, in this production, we will attempt to examine the untold story of the mission "Chandrayaan-1" that how it has contributed in the exploration of discovering water on the surface of the Moon. A great deal to know and a ton to examine. Along these lines, immediately how about we hop into the discussion!

 

About The Chandrayaan- 1 Mission : 

 

Right off the bat, how about we examine a portion of the significant essential thoughts identified with this mission before going inside and out of the talk:

Chandrayaan-1 was India's first mission to Moon propelled by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). The complete cost of this the mission was INR 386 crores or you can say $56 million at that range of time individually.

It was an unmanned lunar probe which implies there were no individuals present inside it. Essentially, this lunar probe has orbited the Moon and the impactor was sent to the Moon. Along these lines, fundamentally, they have contemplated the surface of the Moon somewhat.

Along these lines, this lunar probe was launched utilizing PSLV C11 on 22nd October 2008 from the Satish Dhawan Space Center, Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, India. On effective propelling of this lunar test, India turned into the 6th nation to be recorded on the rundown who has effectively sent the lunar mission obviously to the Moon.


Facts Beyond The Mission :

In 2018, NASA has published a report in which they have attempted to clarify that water ice has been found in the craters of the North Pole and the South Pole of the Moon. It is extremely essential to explore in itself that the water ice is found close to the craters of the North Pole and the South Pole of the Moon. Along these lines, through this report, NASA needed to state that if in not so distant future they plan for another mission to the Moon in which people will be sent to the moon at that point to satisfy the need of water, this water ice present in the holes of the Moon may be utilized.

Presently, in the event that you need to realize how much water is available in this craters of the Moon then the Administrator of NASA to be specific Jim Bridenstine has referenced that there are hundreds of millions of tons of water ice on the surface of Moon exists. Be that as it may, let me clear up you that there is nothing such sort of lakes or rivers streaming on the Moon. You will get the water in the soil in the frozen form and extracting these water will be a troublesome procedure. Additionally, extraordinary sorts of hardware will be required for doing this work. In any case, at all, it is conceivable and is a major accomplishment in itself that it has at last been demonstrated that aside from the water on Earth, water on other celestial bodies is additionally present.

Now, the fundamental contentions come here is that will's identity going to assume the praise of this wonderful disclosure. Who has found this, NASA or ISRO? For comprehension, this one initially needs to see which instrument has been utilized to find this. Let me first reveal to you that in this mission ISRO has taken 5 payloads of their own and 6 payloads were of different nations in which two payloads were of NASA and the remainder of the payloads were of ESA and Bulgaria.

From the instruments of the USA, one in particular Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) was a significant instrument assumed the job amid this mission. Let me likewise clear up you that these six instruments having a place with different nations to which ISRO has conveyed for nothing of expense to the Moon with a common understanding that they may likewise do a few research separately there.

With the assistance of the USA's Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) at long last, it has been demonstrated that water is available on the Moon's surface. Along these lines, this mission was having a place with India. In any case, since one of the types of the instrument utilized was of USA and consequently USA's NASA was getting every one of the data. Along these lines, one can say that as a result of the utilization of a USA equipment NASA have accepted the open door to initially publishing a research paper on this research work sooner than the ISRO with appropriate bits of proof that water is available on the Moon.  


Importance of Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) :

What the instrument M3 did in this mission? Essentially, the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) instrument from a long distance utilizing the infrared light observed that where it is being absorbed and helped in making the map of the Moon. After that gradually and relentlessly Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) continued sending the information to the NASA for producing the guide of the Moon. Utilizing the infrared light NASA discovered what the kind of water present on the Moon is. Regardless of whether it is in fluid structure, vapor structure or in ice structure.

NASA additionally could clarify with the assistance of the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) that since there is some tilt it in the axis of the Moon. Thus, in its polar cap, one will discover the water ice. The explanation for that is Sun's light doesn't ever achieved the polar cap appropriately and this region is for the most part, darker too.

So, we now have a clear idea about the Chandrayaan- 1 mission and the untold story behind this mission by the help of this post. I hope it was an interesting discussion for you all and have learned a few new things here. With the new morning, a new hope, I will again try to bring some more interesting publications like this!

thanks @crazy-facts, it's a quite interesting post about the latest exploration of the moon, especially the fact of the existence of water on the moon.

Your series of posts about the universe are nice to read. Thanks a lot for sharing. :)

It's my pleasure, @leibnizs! I'm really happy that you found my post interesting to read. :)

Amazing post @crazy-facts, this info will for sure be very valuable on future missions to the moon including people.

Even if they take with them all the water they need just to be safe, they might be able to set up some kind of equipment for water extraction and purification, so that they have a stable supply when going back.

And if we want to have more permanent bases on the moon, making use of this water would surely be essential to succeed.

Thank you very much for writing this article, and the work that went into it, and stay awesome.

Thanks a lot my friend, @flaxz! I really appreciate the valuable time you have taken out for reaching my post and commenting.

Your comments really brings positive vibes inside me. It makes me motivated to work more harder on my post.

Moreover, highly sophisticated machineries will be required for extracting water from the soil of Moon. Who knows just like the plan for colonization the Mars, someday in future we might go to the Moon for spending our vacation! ;)

Hola @crazy-facts
e parece interesante tu post,el hecho de que haya agua en la superficie lunar podría ser el apoyo para las nuevas misiones que se hagan en el futuro,pues teniendo una reserva de agua beneficiaría al equipo de exploración que vaya a realizar investigaciones.
Gracias por la información,me agrada ver este tipo de contenido que demuestra un gran esfuerzo de tu parte.

Basándome en este contenido,quiero dejarte algo que escribí hace poco y que quizás pueda ser de tu interés.

Hola, @asaye, muchas gracias por sacar tiempo y comentar. Realmente aprecio el tiempo que dedicas a leer mi post. Estoy más que feliz de ver tu esfuerzo por entender las ideas.

Además, será muy beneficioso no solo para los investigadores sino también para la gente común que visite la Luna en un futuro cercano. ¡El agua es la parte esencial en nuestra vida para la supervivencia y si hay agua, también puede haber una oportunidad para la habitación!

Por cierto, me encantó tu publicación y estoy deseando leer un artículo más interesante. :)
