Isro said the images were taken by the LI4 camera on Vikram, the lander on Chandrayaan-2. "The images were clicked on August 3," Isro said.Chandrayaan-2 is a Rs 978-crore project, with which India hopes to soft-land a probe on Moon , while also put a satellite around its orbit.While the spacecraft was launched on July 22, the landing is expected to happen on September 7. So far, all post-launch activities have been successful, and the next orbit-raising manoeuvre is planned on August 6.The mission comes 11 years after Isro successfully launched Chandrayaan-1, in October 2008.
