ISRO on Saturday said it has collected advanced data from the Chandrayaan-2 lunar orbiter to gain a deeper understanding of the Moon’s polar regions, including parameters describing the physical and dielectric properties of its surface.

This is India’s major value addition towards future global exploration of the Moon, it said.According to an ISRO statement, the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter has been in orbit around the Moon since 2019 and has been providing high-quality data.

One of the payloads, the Dual Frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (DFSAR), is the first instrument that has mapped the Moon using the L-band in full-polarimetric mode and in the highest resolution (25m/pixel).This advanced radar mode sends and receives signals in both vertical and horizontal directions, making it ideal for
