ISRO Invites Indian Researchers to Analyze Chandrayaan-3 Lander and Rover Data

Awards will fund three-year lunar studies using the public PRADAN archive, with a possible one-year extension.

Overview

  • The space agency issued an Announcement of Opportunity on September 1 seeking proposals from universities, colleges, research institutions, and government organisations across India by October 21.
  • Selected teams can receive support for Junior Research Fellows, computing facilities, conference travel, and contingencies.
  • The available datasets include in-situ measurements of seismicity, thermo-physical properties, the plasma environment, and elemental composition collected over one lunar day.
  • The Chandrayaan-3 lander and rover data were peer-reviewed and released to the public on August 23, 2024 via the ISSDC PRADAN portal.
  • Proposals must prioritise Chandrayaan-3 data while integrating Chandrayaan-1, Chandrayaan-2, or international archives, extending a program that already supports about 30 projects in Indian institutions.
