Argon‐40 in Lunar Exosphere: Observations From CHACE‐2 on Chandrayaan‐2 Orbiter

Abstract We report the first observation of Argon‐40 (Ar‐40) in the mid latitude regions (−60° to +60°) of the lunar exosphere from CHandra’s Atmospheric Composition Explorer‐2 (CHACE‐2) experiment aboard Chandrayaan‐2 orbiter.
