Chandrayaan-3 Successfully Measures Moon's Temperature at Lunar South Pole

India's Chandrayaan-3 mission successfully landed a spacecraft near the south pole of the moon, becoming the first nation to do so. The mission has deployed the Pragyan rover to explore the lunar surface and has started conducting scientific experiments, including measuring temperature profiles of the moon's south pole soil using the ChaSTE experiment. The mission aims to understand the thermal behavior of the moon's surface. The rover recently encountered a hazardous crater but has safely retraced its path and continues its exploration.
