ISRO-JAXA LUPEX Rover
The following are the list of instruments proposed by PRL in ISRO-JAXA rover, mainly to carry out measurements at surface and subsurface near the permanently shadowed polar region of the Moon. First round of review by ADCOS is completed
Permittivity and Thermo-physical Investigation for Moon’s Aquatic Scout (PRATHIMA)
The objective of this is in-situ detection and quantification of water-ice mixed with lunar surface and sub-surface soil using a rover/lander platform. The proposed experiment consists of a multipurpose probe that will be deployed into ~20-30 cm of the lunar surface to scout and quantify the presence of water ice. This instrument is shortlisted to be flown on the LUPEX Rover and Lander.
