The ISRO in a very tweet known 2 landmarks on the moon, Mare Orientale basin, and Apollo crater.
“Take a glance at the primary Moon image captured by #Chandrayaan2 #VikramLander taken at a height of regarding 2650 metric linear unit from satellite surface on August twenty-one, 2019. Mare Orientale basin and Apollo craters are has known within the image (sic),” the ISRO aforementioned within the tweet.
The Mare Orientale formed sort of a target ring bull's-eye, is one among the foremost putting massive scale satellite options, situated on the Moon's extreme western edge, ANd is troublesome to visualize from an earthbound perspective, in keeping with United States of America house agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration. it's same to be over three billion years recent, concerning 950 kilometers across ANd was shaped by the impact of an asteroid sized object.Take a look at the first Moon image captured by #Chandrayaan2 #VikramLander taken at a height of about 2650 km from Lunar surface on August 21, 2019.— ISRO (@isro) August 22, 2019

ISRO had on Wed performed the second lunar-bound orbit maneuver for Chandrayaan-2 and same all artificial satellite parameters ar traditional.
There will be 3 additional orbit maneuvers before the lander's separation from the equipment on September two and its ultimate soft landing within the south polar region of the moon planned on September seven. The artificial satellite can explore a neighborhood of the moon wherever no mission has ever set foot. It consists of AN equipment, a lander, and a rover along remarked as “composite body”.
