India’s Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft captured some pictures of Earth on August 3, 2019, from its L 14 camera on Vikram, the lander. The pictures are shown above.
Chandrayaan-2 launched on July 22 and is the successor to Chandrayaan-1 which was launched in 2008 and was India’s first successful lunar mission. Chandrayaan 1 completed more than 3000 orbits around the moon and was operational for about 312 days. Chandrayaan-2 is comprised of an orbiter, lander, and rover and will land on the moon’s South Pole in early September. If Chandrayaan-2 is successful, it will join the ranks with the Soviet Union, the United States, and China for successfully carrying out a soft landing on the moon.
