Digital Desk: The Indian Space Research Organization, or ISRO, has released the first video of the Moon as captured by the Chandrayaan 3, India's third unmanned Moon mission.
After entering lunar orbit on Saturday, Chandrayan-3 captured the cratered surface of the Moon.
"The Moon, as viewed by Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft during Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) on August 5, 2023," tweeted the Mission's official Twitter handle.
So far, the Moon mission has gone smoothly, and the ISRO anticipates that the Vikram lander will make a soft landing on the lunar surface on August 23.
Chandrayaan-3 successfully entered the lunar orbit on Saturday, 22 days after it was launched for a complex 41-day journey to the lunar south pole, where no other country has gone before.
"I am feeling lunar gravity," was Chandrayaan-3's message to the ISRO after the required maneuver that took it closer to the Moon was carried out without any glitch from the space agency's facility in Bengaluru.
The injection into lunar orbit was a significant milestone in the space agency's ambitious 600 crore mission.
