India’s lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3, has reached important milestones near the Moon’s south pole. The lander and rover have covered a distance of over 100m, avoiding craters and showcasing their navigational capabilities. The presence of sulphur on the lunar surface indicates the presence of water ice and provides insights into the Moon’s evolution. The mission has also observed variations in temperature, suggesting the Moon’s soil could be used as a natural insulator for future habitats.
