Chandrayaan-3: Indian Spacecraft Sends Pics of Lunar Crater

Chandrayaan-3, equipped with an orbiter, lander and rover, is slated to land on the M9oon's surface on August 23. If successful, India will be the first nation to land near the Moon's little-explored south pole and 4th to achieve a successful soft landing after Russia, China, and US.
The
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on Sunday shared a series of photographs and video captured as
Chandrayaan-3 passed by the
Moon, which showed the
pockmarked surface of the earth's natural satellite from various angles.
According to the ISRO's website, the spacecraft is in a 170 km x 4,313 km orbit around the moon, Chandrayaan-3 entered the lunar orbit on Saturday.
The images show the craters on the lunar surface getting larger and larger as the spacecraft draws closer.
The
South Pole of the Moon remains unexplored mainly due to its harsh environment; that part of the
crater remained shrouded in a pitch-black shadow as sunlight has never reached it, and the temperature could be as low as minus 230-degrees Celsius.
The extreme cold temperatures here mean that anything trapped in the region would remain frozen in time without
undergoing much change, which could provide scientists clues to the early Solar System.
