The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said on Thursday that the rover Pragyan, moving on the lunar surface, has recorded a fantastic phenomenon on the Moon’s south pole. The Moon is considered a natural phenomenon, and ISRO tries to discover the wonder’s source. Rover Pragyan has recorded a special seismic vibration on the Moon.
ISRO Tweeted The Information
As an in-situ scientific experiment, the ILSA (Instrument of Lunar Seismic Activity) payload mounted on the lander of Chandrayaan-3 is equipped with Micro Electro Mechanical Systems technology. Such an instrument has been sent to the Moon for the first time and recorded the movement of rover Pragyan and other payloads.
Meanwhile, an incident was also recorded on 26 August 2023. This phenomenon seems natural right now. However, it is being investigated.

ISRO reported that the ILSA payload recorded a vibration due to the movement of the rover Pragyan and other payloads on the Moon. ILSA is equipped with six high-sensitivity accelerometers. These accelerometers have measured vibrations on the surface of the Moon.
The Laboratory has designed the ILSA payload for Electro-Optics Systems, Bangalore. Private companies have also helped in this. At the same time, the mechanism to deploy ILSA on the Moon has been prepared at UR Rao Satellite Center in Bangalore.
The Presence Of Sulfur Confirmed
Earlier on Tuesday, the rover confirmed the presence of sulfur on the Moon. The Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy instrument on the rover has confirmed the presence of sulfur on the lunar surface. Many other natural elements have also been found on the Moon. Now, the presence of hydrogen on the Moon is being investigated.
