BENGALURU: (Apr 26) ISRO on Saturday said that it had organised a national meeting on the potential aspects of lunar sample science in the context of the forthcoming Chandrayaan-4 mission, which aims at returning lunar samples back to the Earth.
The meeting held on April 16, was attended by the lunar science community engaged in analysing meteorite samples, terrestrial analogs, lunar soil simulants, as well as the scientists who are keen to constraint the remote sensing observations of the lunar surface with ground-truth experiments with the returned-samples, it said.
The participants comprised about 50 scientists; almost 50 per cent of them represented 12 research and academic institutes (outside the Department of Space), including private academic institute, across the country, the space agency said. PTI
