The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has released images of the lunar surface taken by the Chandrayaan-3 mission. The images, which were taken on August 23, 2023, show the craters and mountains on the Moon’s surface.
The images were taken by the lander’s horizontal velocity camera during the descent. The camera is located on the bottom of the lander and is used to help the lander land safely on the Moon.
The images show a variety of features on the lunar surface, including craters, mountains, and plains. The largest crater in the images is about 10 kilometers in diameter.
The images are a significant milestone for the Chandrayaan-3 mission. They confirm that the lander has successfully landed on the Moon and that the camera is working properly.
The ISRO plans to release more images of the lunar surface in the coming days. The images will be used to study the geology of the Moon and to help plan future missions to the Moon.
The successful landing of Chandrayaan-3 is a major achievement for the ISRO and for India. It is the first time that India has soft-landed a spacecraft on the Moon. The mission is a major step forward in India’s space program and will help the country to become a major player in the global space race.
The ISRO is planning to conduct a number of experiments on the lunar surface using the Chandrayaan-3 mission. These experiments will focus on studying the geology of the Moon, the search for water ice, and the potential for future human exploration of the Moon.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission is a major milestone for India’s space program and a significant contribution to the global effort to explore the Moon. The images released by the ISRO are a glimpse of the exciting discoveries that are still to come from this mission.
