ISRO’s Chandrayaan 2 on Wednesday has captured the new three-dimensional pictures on the Moon surface.

The 3D image of a crater is captured by the Terrain Mapping Camera-2 which is on the Chandrayaan 2.

The information is officially confirmed by ISRO on the Twitter Account. The ISRO official tweeted “Have a look of 3D view of a crater imaged by TMC-2 of #Chandrayaan2. TMC-2 provides images at 5m spatial resolution & stereo triplets (fore, nadir and aft views) for preparing DEM of the complete lunar surface,”

The triplet images from TMC-2 when processed into Digital Elevation Models, enable mapping of surface landform morphologies. These Includes:

Craters (formed by impactors)
Lava tubes (potential sites for future habitability)
Rilles (furrows formed by lava channels or collapsed lava tubes)
Dorsa or wrinkle ridges (formed mostly in Mare regions depicting cooling of and contraction of basaltic lava)
Graben structures (depicts the structural dislocations on the lunar surface )
Lunar Domes/ Cones (denoting localized vents of past volcanism on the Moon).

The first de-orbit manoeuvre for Lander Vikram successfully completed.

Chandrayaan-2 lander Vikram completed the predetermined process of moving in the reverse direction for four seconds. Its process started successfully at 8.50 am on Tuesday. The propulsion system installed in Chandrayaan-2 was used. The next process of changing the move will be completed tomorrow, i.e on September 4, between 3.30 and 4.40 in the afternoon. The whole process is being adopted so that it can turn to the south pole of the moon.

The first de-orbit maneuver for #VikramLander of #Chandrayaan2 spacecraft was performed successfully today (September 03, 2019) at 0850 hrs IST.

Reason for change

Actually, Lander Vikram has one central engine and three auxiliary engines. On Tuesday, when Vikram made a move for four seconds, a fire broke out in the engine behind Vikram. Likewise, the engine fire will burn on Wednesday. This will reduce the altitude of one side of Vikram from 100/100 to 100/35. That is, the altitude on one side of Vikram is more while the altitude on the other side will decrease. This low altitude will make it easier to land on the lunar surface. ISRO Chief K.K. Sivan explained this whole process in detail. However, Vikram Lander’s orbit is 104 km x 128 km. Chandrayaan-2’s orbiter is circling the moon’s orbit continuously. The good thing is that both the orbiter and the lander are perfect.

7^th Sept the Landing date

The lander Vikram is expected to land on the moon surface by 7 September.

Chandrayaan 2 Successfully entered into Lunar Orbit

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) had successfully launched its Chandrayaan 2 mission on 22^nd July to the moon. The GSLVMKIII Rocket carrying Pragyan Rover, Vikram Lander and the Orbiter with it.

The mission is to soft-land on the moon surface. According to the latest news from the ISRO, that the “Chandrayaan 2” has now successfully entered into the lunar orbit. The destination is now not so far. The Lander Vikram will soft-land on the moon surface on 7 Sept 2019.

A special Lunar Eclipse is going to occur on 16th and 17th July will be visible from India.

India is going to witness the lunar eclipse. In India, the lunar eclipse will start from 12:13 am-midnight on 17^th July. The eclipse will start as a partial lunar eclipse and it will reach full lunar eclipse at 3 am. The lunar eclipse will again enter into partial lunar eclipse at 4:29 and will finally end at 5:47. It will be a five hours long Lunar Eclipse. The Lunar Eclipse will be from the regions of Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia and South America.

What is Lunar Eclipse?

Lunar Eclipse occurs when Earth, Sun and Moon are aligned perfectly. This results in casting a shadow of Earth on Moon. The region where the Earth shadow is darkest is called Umbra and the region where the shadow of the Earth is partially dark is called Penumbra.

When Moon fully falls into the Umbra region where Earth’s shadow is darkest then it is called the full lunar eclipse and when Moon falls into the Penumbra where the shadow of Earth is partially dark then it is called partial lunar eclipse.

Why it is a Special Lunar Eclipse?

According to Indian Mythology, This lunar eclipse is going to occur on Guru Purnima which is occurring after 149 years that makes it a special lunar eclipse.
