Neural Networks, particularly deep learning models, have shown remarkable success in complex scientific tasks such as image analysis (e.g., medical imaging, astronomical data), processing scientific texts, and predicting properties of molecules and materials.

AI and machine learning excel at identifying subtle, complex patterns and correlations within massive datasets that might be overlooked by traditional methods or human analysis, leading to new insights and discoveries.

AI has revolutionized various scientific fields, including drug discovery, material science, climate modeling, environmental prediction, astronomy, and particle physics, by enabling faster and more accurate analysis of vast datasets.

For the LUPEX mission, ISRO is responsible for developing the lander, while JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) is responsible for developing the rover.

LUPEX aims to explore the Moon's polar regions, particularly the permanently shadowed areas, to investigate the presence and distribution of water ice and other potential resources.
