The Chandrayaan-2 Indian spacecraft offers great pictures of the first moon

The moon is so hot right now. Everyone wants to go, including the Chandrayaan-2 Spacecraft of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). Chandrayaan-2, which launched in July, has just returned his first image of his destination.

The Indian spacecraft is planning to put robots on the lunar south pole for the first time. It's a fascinating and icy place that NASA envisions the destination of its Artemis lunar mission with crew in 2024.

ISRO tweeted the moon's view on Thursday. Chandrayaan-2 photographed the portrait at an altitude of 2650 km above the lunar surface on Wednesday. The space agency has annotated the image to show the locations of the great Apollo Crater and the Eastern Pond Basin.

Chandrayaan-2 is composed of a lunar orbiter, a lander and a rover. The spacecraft successfully entered the lunar orbit earlier this week and will aim to put its lander and rover back on the surface in early September.

It's hard to touch the ground on the moon, as Israel says The Beresheet mission discovered during its crash in the lunar surface in April.

If successful, India will become only the fourth country – after the United States, the Soviet Union and China – to land on the moon. While waiting for the big day, we can enjoy the spectacular view of Chandrayaan-2 from orbit.
