ISRO'S CHANDRAYAAN, NASA'S LRO CONFIRM PRESENCE OF HYDROXYL AND WATER MOLECULES ON MOON

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chandrayaan and NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter have confirmed that hydroxyl and water molecules are present on the Moon.

Jitendra Singh, Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, PG & Pensions, in a written reply to an unstarred question in the Lok Sabha today said that NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft launched in June 2009 has detected the spectral signature of hydroxyl, a key indicator that water ice is present in the floor of the crater.

The data from the LRO has also indicated that hydrogen bearing molecule deposits may be slightly more abundant on crater slopes in the southern hemisphere that face the lunar South Pole. Data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper on-board India's Chandrayaan-1, launched on October 22, 2008, has indicated the presence of hydroxyl and water molecules on the lunar surface.

Further, Mini-Synthetic Aperture Radar (Mini-SAR) instrument of Chandrayaan-1 has indicated existence of sub surface water-ice deposits in the base of the craters of permanent sun shadow region. A mass spectrometer based experiment on the Indian Moon Impact Probe (MIP) of Chandrayaan-1 also indicated presence of water molecules in the lunar exosphere.

"It is concluded from the above results that hydroxyl and water molecules are present on the Moon. The molecules may be more prevalent beneath the lunar surface," said the Minister.

Nothing new. NASA and Soviet know this since 1970's but never wanted to share information.

They have contact with Aliens(dead+alive both) too, but not being spoken in open. Try getting declassified KGB files from torrent. Good place to begin, for un-lazy types.

India's leaders lack guts to trust own brains and do it alone. They will keep depending on NASA, like a small baby below NASA's nipples.

^^^ Guys is that a psycho or what??

@PARIKRAMA Any estimates with regards to the quantity of the water present?

Not really. Chandrayaan 1 best apparatus was just for detection not suited for quantification or measurement. Hopefully chandrayaan 2 may carry more instruments to measure at least the possibility on the area under coverage of the probe.

So now its proven for the first time, there is no water, does it mean Chandrayaan was a failure? Since the only thing it achieved was supposedly finding water. The primary function of mapping the moon failed, whereas the highest definition 3d moon map was created by Chang'e-2

It's now proven that water molecules exists

The Cassini mission already found evidence of hydroxyl, the difference being you claiming it in such quantity to warrant the availability of water on the moon. Scientist had long speculated the presence of such molecules existing on the moon.

So now its proven there is no possibility of water by the Chinese team. I dont hear any noise from our Indy team this time.

Your post is contradictory.I am not getting what your point is

Well if you cant understand, I can't help you either.

Don't feed him, this guy has been trolling on all the Indian tech related thread. He doing the same in HAL LCA Tejas thread as well.

He himself has no clue... Ignore him.

So what did you expect? Aliens spending vacations at seashore?

It's not a lot of water. If you took a two-liter soda bottle of lunar dirt, there would probably be a medicine dropperful of water in it

Hydroxyl and Water both were found but instrument used at that time couldn't differentiate between them.

Please check what ISRO claimed and now the Chinese mission which landed on the moon with a ground radar and UV telescope just debunked the myth

Chinese source:

The ones using neutron spectroscopy to search for water came up with mixed conclusions, but those using infrared spectroscopy seemed to reach unambiguous identification of water on the lunar surface.

"We've measured the amount of water on the lunar surface and above, but only found the lowest quantities so far, which is in line with the expectations of the experts on the formation of the moon,” Wen Jianyan, a researcher from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said.

10/10 for trying

What the ground radar have to do with finding water molecule? Or you dont know the purpose of Ground radar?

And UV telescope in finding water molecule? Are you serious?

Stick around.

You ain't seen nuthin' yet.
