In addition to vibrations recorded during Pragyan rover’s navigation, lander also registered a seemingly natural event
Chandigarh: The Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) payload on the Chandrayaan-3 Lander has recorded vibrations occurring due to the movements of Rover and other payloads, a spcial report in The Tribune, Chandigarh, says
.”Additionally, seemingly a ‘natural event’ was also recorded on August 26. The source of this occurrence is currently under investigation,” ISRO said in a release.
Earlier, ILSA has recorded the vibrations occurring due to the movements of Rover and other payloads.
It comprises a cluster of six high-sensitivity accelerometers, which are indigenously fabricated using the Silicon Micromachining process.
The core sensing element consists of a spring-mass system with comb-structured electrodes.
“ILSA’s primary objective is to measure ground vibrations generated by natural quakes, impacts, and artificial events. The vibrations recorded during Pragyan rover’s navigation on August 25 are depicted in the figure. Additionally, an event, seemingly natural, recorded on August 26, 2023, is also shown. The source of this event is currently under investigation,” ISRO added.
