Watch: Isro releases images shot by lander Vikram prior to touchdown on Moon

NEW DELHI: Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Thursday released a short video with images of Moon clicked by lander Vikram prior to landing on Wednesday evening.

Sharing a 2-minute video on X (formerly Twitter), the space agency wrote, "Here is how the Lander Imager Camera captured the moon's image just prior to touchdown".



The lander imager camera captured images of the Moon's surface with craters during power descent.

Earlier today, Isro said that all activities related to the Chandrayaan-3 Mission are on schedule and all systems are functioning normally.



After a 40-day journey into space, the Chandrayaan-3 lander, 'Vikram', touched down on the uncharted lunar South Pole on Wednesday evening, making India the first country to do so.

India also became only the fourth nation after the US, Russia and China to successfully conduct a lunar landing mission.
