The temperature of the lunar soil at 70 °C, recorded by the Indian lunar rover Pragyan, is not the main sensation of the Chandrayaan-3 mission. live about it Tsargrad.tv Ivan Moiseev, head of the Space Policy Institute, said: At the same time, according to him, data on temperature changes in different environments of the Earth’s natural satellite were indeed obtained for the first time.
“The essence of this experiment is not measuring surface temperature, but measuring the temperature below the surface and above the surface, that is, at depth. And how it has changed. These data were actually obtained for the first time in the world. The expert said that this data will be very useful for the construction of lunar bases in the future.
However, he added that the new data is not of particular importance for future lunar missions.
27 August Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) published Data on the temperature of the lunar soil at the landing site of the Vikram spacecraft. According to instruments, the lunar regolith is heated to about 55 °C near the surface. ISRO employee Bee Darukesha told Indian journalists that she and her colleagues expected the temperature not to exceed 20-30°C and were surprised at such a high temperature. According to him, it reached 70°C, but this is not reflected in the published chart.
Former Russian President Vladimir Putin I congratulated Indian authorities on the moon landing of the Chandrayaan-3 space station.
