Nasa captures images of Chandrayaan-2 landing site - here's how it would work on September 21

As the time for Chandrayaan-2 to re-establish contact with Vikram Lander is coming closer, NASA's Moon Orbiter has photographed that part of the moon. A senior scientist of the US space agency NASA confirmed this on Thursday.

As the time for Chandrayaan-2 to reconnect with Vikram Lander is getting closer, NASA's Moon Orbiter has photographed the part of the moon where India attempted to make a soft landing as part of the expedition. A senior scientist of the US space agency NASA has confirmed this on Thursday.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft took several photographs on September 17, while passing near the unexplored south pole of the moon where Vikram attempted to land. LRO mission deputy project scientist John Keller said in a statement that it flew over Vikram's landing site. There will be an attempt to contact the lander on 21 September. 

"The LROC team will analyze these new photos and compare them to earlier photos to see if the lander is visible (whether it is in the shadows or outside the area captured in the photo)," Senate.com said on behalf of Kelly. The report states that NASA is analyzing, authenticating and reviewing these images.

A NASA spokesman had earlier said that to prove ISRO's analysis, the space agency will share photographs taken before and after the target area of ​​Chandrayaan-2 Vikram Lander.
