The rover also detected the presence of aluminum, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon and oxygen during its research on the lunar surface.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has confirmed the presence of sulphur and other chemical elements on the lunar surface near the south pole, as expected. This confirmation was made by the instruments aboard the Pragyan rover of the Chandrayaan-3 mission. The search for hydrogen is still ongoing. The LIBS instrument onboard the rover was used to analyze the composition of materials by exposing them to intense laser pulses. In addition to sulphur, other chemical elements detected on the lunar surface include aluminium, calcium, iron, chromium, titanium, manganese, silicon, and oxyge...
