August 12 this year marks the centenary of Vikram Sarabhai. ISRO got these pictures in that atmosphere.
The dream is not over. Even though Vikram fell face down, the name remains permanent on the ground of the moon. That Chandrayaan-2 in the background.
Yes, even though the Vikram mystery is still elusive, Chandrayaan-2 has been sending pictures since the time of that landing. This time a crater is newly identified in that picture. The hole is named after Vikram Sarabhai, the father of Indian astronauts.
August 12 this year marks the centenary of Vikram Sarabhai. ISRO got these pictures in that atmosphere. Naturally happy air in all floors. Minister of State in the Prime Minister's Office Jitendra Singh says it is a tribute to a scientist like Sarabhai. He added that ISRO's findings would once again show how important ISRO's role is on the space research map.
This Sarabhai crater is located at a distance of 250-300 km from the crater where the Apello 16 and Luna 21 missions landed.
The image of Sarabhai Crater sent by ISRO is a 3D image showing the slope of 25-35 degrees, formed by lava. Its depth is one and a half kilometers.
According to ISRO, the information that Chandrayaan 2 has been sending is invaluable. ISRO will release this information to astronauts around the world in October 2020.
India's Chandrayaan-2 Vikram started moving towards the south of the moon on July 22 last year. On September 6, Vikram fell face down on the moon. Death is also the dream of the first step south of the Indian moon.
Paying tributes to the Father of the Indian Space Program, Dr. Vikram Ambalal Sarabhai on his birth anniversary.
