The Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter, which has been orbiting the Moon since 2019, has provided groundbreaking insights into the lunar polar regions.

Scientists at ISRO’s Space Applications Centre (SAC) in Ahmedabad have used data from the mission’s Dual Frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (DFSAR) to generate the first-ever full-polarimetric, L-band radar maps of the Moon, offering a high spatial resolution of 25 meters per pixel.

This achievement represents a major leap in lunar research. The DFSAR instrument, capable of transmitting and receiving radar signals in both vertical and horizontal modes.

This enables scientists to study the Moon’s surface and subsurface with exceptional precision.

SAC team developed advanced algorithms and data models that d
