instrument identified the presence of sulphur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This discovery is particularly noteworthy because the in-situ measurements conducted by the rover directly confirm the existence of

This technique involves subjecting materials to intense laser pulses. The process begins with focusing a high-energy laser pulse onto the surface of the material, which could be a rock or soil sample. As a result of the laser pulse, an extremely hot and localized plasma is generated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The light emitted by the plasma is then collected, and its spectrum is resolved and detected using instruments like Charge Coupled Devices (CCDs). Each element emits a distinct set of wavelengths of light when it is in a plasma state. By analyzing these emitted wavelengths, scientists can determine the elemental composition of the material being studied. This method allows for the identification of specific elements present in the material based on their unique spectral signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Discoveries_made_by_Pragyan_Rover\"><\/span>Other Discoveries made by Pragyan Rover<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Chandrayaan-3, India&#8217;s lunar exploration mission, has been making significant discoveries since its successful landing on the Moon on August 23.
