A few days ago on November 14th Indian National Flag has been landed on Moon. The Images shown above are the three dimensional view of moon surface and other features captured by Terrain Camera of Chandrayaan-1. The Mission is reaching the target, nine instruments were switched ON on the board chandrayaan-1 and two more to go. The data sent from nine instruments are being analyzed.
The Instruments that remain to switch on are HIGH ENERGY X-RAY SPECTROMETER(HEX)and SUB KEV ATOM REFLECTING ANALYZER(SARA). HEX will be used to study the Moon's region for the deposit of water ice and areas of high uranium and thorium concentration. SARA will study how surface will react to solar wind and how materials are altered in space.
