New Delhi: The Indian Space Research Organisation on Saturday released images of the moon surface clicked by Orbiter High-Resolution Camera (OHRC) onboard Chandrayaan-2.
ISRO shared the pictures of the Moon on the micro blogging site.
OHRC provides very high spatial resolution images of the Moon. It provides the sharpest images ever from a lunar orbiter platform.
OHRC is an important new tool for lunar topographic studies of the select region.
These images were acquired on September 5 by the ISRO from a 100-km altitude.
ISRO lost contact from its Lander Vikram which was supposed to soft-land on the far side of the moon on September 7. Minutes before its scheduled soft-landing, the communication with Vikram Lander was lost.
