This view from the launch gallery is a bit shaky but you gotta love the thunderous roar of the crowd just as SSLV sneaks out of the clouds and passes right through the centre of the Sun! 🚀

The first images from the Chandrayaan-3 mission are now out on ISRO's PRADAN website! Below are the left and right NavCam images of Pragyan rover taken just as it was about to exit the ramp. More data can be accessed here- pradan.issdc.gov.in/ch3/protected/…

From the Chandrayaan-3 images just published by ISRO, I made a little video out of the Lander Imager cam of Vikram, showing the spacecraft entering the backside of the Moon just prior to its Lunar Orbital Insertion (LOI) burn on 5th August 2023. Video is sped up & not real-time.

Here's a fast-forwarded slideshow of the terminal descent & landing of Vikram, as seen by its LI cam on the 23rd Aug 2023! The video is compiled from the images recently made available by ISRO over its PRADAN portal - pradan.issdc.gov.in/ch3/protected/… #Chandrayaan3

Posting a few more views from the perspective of Pragyan's NavCams. I've tried to bring a sense of 3D by juxtaposing both the left and right camera views, so you can see how the lander looked from Pragyan's vantage point.

Happy National Space Day folks! 🚀 Here's a timelapse of all the 1257 frames of Chandrayaan-3 prior to touchdown, with a touch of video frame interpolation for smooth viewing pleasure.

🤩 Images magiques des différentes caméras de l’atterrisseur Vikram de la mission lunaire Chandrayaan-3 🇮🇳 qui s’est posé le 23 août 2023 non loin du Pôle Sud de notre satellite naturel 🌖. L’impression de vitesse est saisissante, et moi qui ai vu pas mal de coins de la Terre 🌍

Sometimes I wonder what would have been, had someone from ISRO actually seen and OK'd this request 👇🏻 We could've had been the first ones to carry Lunar Library to place it safely on the Moon with our Chandrayaan-3 lander. Hope this request gets fulfilled with a future mission.
