India’s Moon orbiter from the country’s previous Chandrayaan-2 mission has established two-way contact with the ready-for-prime-time landing attempt on August 23 of the Chandrayaan-3 lunar lander/rover.
“Welcome, buddy!” reports the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
Meanwhile, new images have been released by ISRO of the lunar far side captured by the Chandrayaan-3 ‘s Lander Hazard Detection and Avoidance Camera. This camera will assist in spotting a safe landing area — without boulders or deep trenches — during the lander’s descent and attempted touchdown.
