CTOnews.com, August 30 (Xinhua)-- the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said the Lunar ship 3 probe detected a variety of elements, including sulfur, on the lunar surface near the South Pole of the moon, according to Indianexpress.

It is worth noting that Lunar ship 3 received a signal confirming the presence of sulfur, but there is no direct evidence so far.

"the Lunar ship 3 Laser induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument has measured the composition of elements on the surface near the South Pole of the moon for the first time," ISRO said in a statement. These field measurements clearly confirm the presence of sulfur (S) in the area, which cannot be done by instruments on the orbiter. "" Preliminary analysis... It is revealed that the lunar surface contains aluminum (Al), sulfur (S), calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), chromium (Cr) and titanium (Ti). Further measurements also found the presence of manganese (Mn), silicon (Si) and oxygen (O). A detailed investigation into the existence of hydrogen is under way. " ISRO said.

According to CTOnews.com, exploring the existence and richness of different elements on the moon is one of the main scientific objectives of the Lunar ship 3 mission, and several instruments are working for this purpose. The LIBS instrument on the lunar rover, developed by ISRO's Electro-Optic Systems Laboratory (LEOS), uses high-energy pulsed lasers to convert rock or soil into plasma. In the plasma state, elements emit characteristic wavelength radiation, which can be used to identify these elements. There is another instrument on the rover, called the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer, which is also used to study the composition of elements on the lunar surface.

The elements detected by LIBS instruments are known to exist on the moon, and these data will complement existing knowledge. For example, evidence of the presence of sulfur can reveal the formation and evolution of the moon. Sulfur usually comes from volcanic activity, and its presence on the moon reflects the history and composition of the moon.

The instruments carried on the "Lunar ship 3" mission are collecting a large amount of data and conducting a variety of observations and experiments. All this data is transmitted to the ground station. When the mission is over, scientists in the field of expertise will thoroughly analyze the data. Only then will we know if anything new or amazing has been found in this mission.

The Indian "Lunar ship 3" probe was launched on July 14 and successfully landed on the South Pole of the moon on August 23.
