The Vikram lander transmits the first images of the Moon after separation from the spacecraft

Chandrayaan 3 lander Vikram today shared the final images of the moon after performing a maneuver that brought it closer to its destination.
Indian space agency ISRO has shared amazing images captured by Lander Imager (LI) Camera-1, X, formerly known as Twitter. A montage of images shows various craters on the Moon, one of which is the Giordano Bruno Crater, one of the youngest large craters on the Moon. LI Camera -1 also took images of the Harkheb J crater, which is approximately 43 km in diameter. The images were taken after the lander successfully separated from the spacecraft’s propulsion system yesterday. “Thanks for the ride,” ISRO tweeted, imagining a conversation between the lander and the spacecraft. The module is set to land in a lower orbit after boosting or decelerating, bringing it closer to the Moon.
