flag India's Chandrayaan-2 detected solar CMEs drastically increasing the Moon's exosphere density, aiding future mission planning.

flag India's Chandrayaan-2 orbiter has made the first direct observation of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) impacting the Moon’s exosphere, detecting a tenfold increase in neutral atom and molecule density on May 10, 2024. flag Using the CHACE-2 instrument, ISRO confirmed that solar CMEs significantly disrupt the Moon’s thin atmosphere, which lacks a magnetic field or protective atmosphere. flag The findings, published in August 2025, validate theoretical models and provide critical data for future lunar missions and habitat design. flag The orbiter remains operational in a 100 km orbit.
