High Resolution Images of Moon Surface Released

Perfectly clicked by the Orbiter High Resolution Camera (OHRC), the authorities of the Indian Space Research Organization have released other pictures of the moon surface. 

The OHRC has a spatial resolution of 25 cm from a height of 100 km and a swath of 3 km and is the key for lunar topographic studies of select regions.

These pictures are mounted on the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter.

“The pictures taken by the Orbiter from a height of 100 km from the moon surface are part of the Boguslawsky E Crater -- measuring about 14 km in diameter and 3 km depth -- and surroundings which lie in the Southern Polar region of the moon”, the concerned ISRO scientists said. The images also show boulders and small craters on the moon, ISRO Official said.
