Which country reached Mars first?

NASA's Mariner 4 was the first craft to finally reach Mars. The spacecraft launched on Nov. 28, 1964, and was the first to fly by the planet on July 14, 1965.

How did Chandrayaan-1 find water?

Evidence for surface water came from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M3) experiment on Chandrayaan-1. Initially it showed the presence of water on the sunlit side using water/ice spectral signature (2- 2.5 microns) in the reflected sunlight.

What did Chandrayaan-1 discover?

The major discovery of the Chandrayaan-1 mission is the detection of water (H2O) and hydroxyl (OH) on the lunar surface. The data also revealed their enhanced abundance towards the polar region.

Is Indian flag on moon?

Which country has flag on moon?

You have to take the soil, or ice deposits, and have to process it to get water. You have to purify it so you can drink it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be safe to drink. Lunar regolith [lunar soil] are pretty nasty little particles, and they can cause a lot of respiratory issues.

Is there ice on Mars?

Like Earth, Mars has ice caps at its poles. Water reaches the poles as vapor and is frozen into thin layers that build up thick deposits. Mixed with this water is dust picked up by the wind, so the caps have bright and dark layers of "clean" and "dirty" ice.

Has India landed on Mars?

What planet does not have oxygen?

The only planet which doesn't have an atmosphere is Mercury.

Why did Mars lose its water?

Based on data gathered by NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN), scientists suggest that dust storms rising from the Martian surface appear to have been slowly sucking away the planet's water over the course of millions of years, sweeping water molecules up on a wild journey into the atmosphere.

Does the Sun have water?

As strange as it may seem, yes water has been detected on the Sun. Actually what was detected is 'steam' over a particularly cool sunspot where the temperatures were only about 1000 K or so. Return to the Ask the Space Scientist main page.
