In another finding, data from #Chandrayaan2 has shown that plasma density in Moon’s ionosphere in the wake region is at least one order of magnitude more than that present in the day side. 1/n

#Chandrayaan2 carried several payloads, among which, the Dual Frequency Radio Science (#DFRS) was designed to study the lunar ionosphere. It was conceptualised and jointly developed by SPL of VSSC; URSC and Istrac. 2/n
Pointing out that the Moon’s ionosphere, which derives its origin from the atmosphere believed to be very tenuous, @isro said, the plasma density was considered to be only a few hundred ions per cubic centimetre. 3/n
