Uttar Pradesh: India's ambitious third Moon mission's spacecraft Chandrayaan-3 is set to achieve a major milestone. The spacecraft is getting closer to the moon's surface for the soft landing on the Lunar south pole on August 23. Meanwhile, people across the country are praying for the success of India's third Moon mission. A video is going viral on social media where residents of Varanasi were seen performing 'havan' for the success of Chandrayaan-3.
Earlier on Friday, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) released a set of visuals of the Moon captured by cameras positioned on the Lander Module of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft.
The images, captured after the separation of the Lander Module from the Propulsion Module of the spacecraft on Thursday, showed the craters on the Moon's surface that were marked on the photographs released by ISRO as 'Fabry', 'Giordano Bruno' and 'Harkhebi J'.
The country's space agency shared on X (formerly Twitter) the images captured by the Lander Position Detection Camera (LPDC) on August 15, and visuals from the Lander Imager (LI) Camera-1 on August 17 -- just after the separation of the Lander Module from the Propulsion Module.
