Chandrayaan’s Chaste Scores A First After Taking Moon’s Temperature

The Chandrayaan-3 mission marked a significant milestone in lunar exploration with its Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) onboard the Vikram lander. ChaSTE became the first instrument to measure temperature variations in situ near the Moon’s south pole.Using a thermal probe equipped with 10 sensors spaced 1 cm apart, it successfully penetrated 10 cm into the lunar soil,
