Higher surface temperatures near south polar region of the Moon measured by ChaSTE experiment on-board Chandrayaan-3

Water-ice prospecting is a crucial step in unlocking the Moon’s potential for supporting human habitat and furthering exploration. Lunar Temperatures not only dictate water-ice, but also drive other aspects of science and exploration. Global temperatures were mapped through remote sensing, but in-situ measurements are only from Apollo 15 and 17. Here, we provide the in-situ temperatures of top 10 cm of a high-latitude lunar regolith measured by …
