- Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft has completed 9,000 orbits around the moon.
- It has detected minor elements of manganese and chromium through remote sensing for the first time from the surface of the moon.
- The discovery was clearly a surprise as these elements are less than one weight percentage on the moon.
- The two elements, Chromium and Manganese, were detected at few places during the intense solar flare events.
- So far, the presence of these elements on the lunar surface was only known through soil samples which were collected during the earlier missions.
- ISRO Chief K Sivan, also the Secretary of the Department of Space, released the science and the data product documents from the mission.
