The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced on Tuesday that the Pragyan rover's Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscope has successfully confirmed the existence of Sulphur on the lunar surface near the south pole. This achievement marks the first-ever in-situ measurement of such elements. ISRO further reported that the rover's spectroscope has also identified the presence of anticipated elements, including Aluminium, Calcium, Ferrous (Iron), Chromium, Titanium, Manganese, Silicon, and Oxygen. The search for hydrogen is currently in progress. ISRO's statement conveyed, "Initial analyses, depicted graphically, have disclosed the occurrence of Aluminum (Al), Sulphur (S), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr), and Titanium (Ti) on the lunar surface. Additional measurements have divulged the existence of manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), and oxygen (O). A comprehensive investigation into the presence of Hydrogen is presently underway."
