Breathtaking: ISRO Just Released Some High Resolution Images Taken By Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter
Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO recently released the pictures of the moons surface clicked by the Orbiter High Resolution Camera OHRC on the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter. The images cover parts of the Boguslawsky E Crater measuring about 14 km in diameter and 3 km depth.
Even though we could not establish a connection with Vikram lander, Chandrayaan-2 orbiter is still sending in useful data. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) recently released the pictures of the moon's surface clicked by the Orbiter High Resolution Camera (OHRC) on the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter.
According to ISRO¡¯s website, ¡®the pictures were acquired at 04:30 IST on September 5, 2019 by the Orbiter from a height of 100 km from the moon surface. The images cover parts of the Boguslawsky E Crater, measuring about 14 km in diameter and 3 km depth and surroundings which lie in the Southern Polar region of the moon¡¯.

One can see boulders and small craters of the moon in the images.
¡®OHRC onboard Chandrayaan-2 provides very high spatial resolution images of the Moon. This operates in the visible Panchromatic band. With a spatial resolution of 25 cm from a 100 km orbit and a swath of 3 km, it provides the sharpest images ever from a lunar orbiter platform. OHRC is an important new tool for lunar topographic studies of select regions¡¯, the ISRO website reads.

ISRO is still regularly posting updates about the developments and finding of the Chandrayaan-2 and it is heartwarming to see that people are still as invested as they were during the launch.
