Run-Up To Touchdown, Chandrayaan-3 Shares New Moon Images

Some of the prominent craters on the Moon’s far side, which is constantly facing away from Earth, were found in the most recent photographs acquired by the Chandrayaan-3 lander. Before making its historic arrival on the uncharted south pole zone of the moon on Wednesday night, the Vikram lander was given the responsibility of finding a safe landing place. The pictures were captured by a camera assigned to that task.

“These are pictures of the area on the far side of the moon that the Lander Hazard Detection and Avoidance Camera (LHDAC) took. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, “This camera is created at SAC/ISRO and helps in detecting a safe landing place — without boulders or deep pits — during the descent.

Hayn, Boss L, Mare Humboldtianum, and Bel’kovich were the craters named in the photos, which were taken last Saturday.

Due to the Moon’s orbital synchronous rotation, the far side of the Moon, or lunar hemisphere, is the side that is always facing away from Earth.
At 6:04 p.m. on Wednesday, the lander is slated to land in the southern polar zone of the Moon. In the event that it succeeds, India will become just the fourth nation to accomplish this feat, joining the US, Russia, and China.
