ISRO releases Chandrayaan-3 scientific data for global researchers

The ISRO on Friday threw open its scientific data gathered from the Chandrayaan-3 mission for researchers across the world for analyses to mark the first anniversary of India landing a spacecraft on the Moon.

The space agency has granted access to over 55 gigabytes of data from the five payloads – three on the Vikram lander and two on the Pragyan rover – that created history on



August 23 last year by making a soft landing near the unexplored south pole region of the Moon.

“This data is not going to be confined with those scientists who have created those instruments, but it will be made available to all the researchers of the country and the world for furthering the outcome of this,” ISRO Chairman S Somanath said at the National Space Day celebrations here.
