The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Sunday released the first set of pictures of the Earth captured by Chandrayaan 2.
The pictures were captured by the LI4 camera on board Chandrayaan 2 on Friday. ISRO has posted five pictures of the Earth from different angles.
“Earth as viewed by #Chandrayaan2 LI4 Camera on August 3, 2019 17:34 UT,” the ISRO tweeted.
Chandrayaan 2 is India's second Moon mission. The first attempt to launch Chandrayaan 2 on July 15 was aborted after a technical snag was detected. It lifted off successfully from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota at 2.43pm on July 22.
