- The Chandrayaan missions have significantly transformed our understanding of the moon. - Water molecules have been discovered on the moon's surface, sub-surface, and exosphere through the Chandrayaan missions. - The Chandrayaan missions have revealed that the moon is not geologically dead, but rather dynamic and volcanically active. - Chandrayaan has demonstrated the presence of mini magnetospheres on the moon, challenging the previous assumption that it lacked a magnetic field. - The success of Chandrayaan-2 has provided high-resolution images of the lunar surface, aiding in the identification of potential landing sites for future missions. - Chandrayaan-3 has enabled the characterization of various aspects of the southern high latitude region of the moon, such as ground vibration signals, plasma environment, thermal profile, and elemental composition.
