LIBS?
A clearer title of Chandrayaan-3 Rover confirms presence of sulphur on the lunar surface instead of the cryptic LIBS reference would have sufficed. Even the title on the official post there with it's "...unambiguous in-situ measurements" ... is weird.

The Chandrayaan programme is driven by ISRO, India's national space agency. It could thus be argued that, by extension, the Modi government is thoroughly owning the LIBS.

Preliminary analyses, graphically represented, have unveiled the presence of Aluminum (Al), Sulphur (S), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr), and Titanium (Ti) on the lunar surface. Further measurements have revealed the presence of manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), and oxygen (O). Thorough investigation regarding the presence of Hydrogen is underway.
It seems to me, we know there is hydrogen because we know there is water. Not to say they shouldn't test it anyway, but that's my layman's understanding of the current science.
