New Delhi:Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Saturday shared images of Chandrayaan-3’s lander on the Moon taken by Chandrayaan-2’s Dual Frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (DFSAR). DFSAR is a key scientific instrument onboard the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter.
DFSAR transmits and receives microwave in L and S band frequencies, works without solar illumination and is capable of penetrating the lunar surface down to a few meters. ISRO shared the images on social media platform X, formerly Twitter with the caption, “Here is an image of the Chandrayaan-3 Lander taken by the Dual-frequency Synthetic Aperture Radar (DFSAR) instrument onboard the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter on September 6, 2023.”Meanwhile, the long radar wavelength enables DFSAR to explore lunar subsurface features down to a few metres.
