On Thursday, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) released the first photo of the Moon captured by India's second Moon Mission, or Chandrayaan-2. 

ISRO tweeted, "Take a look at the first Moon image captured by #Chandrayaan2 #VikramLander taken at a height of about 2650 km from Lunar surface on August 21, 2019." 

"Mare Orientale basin and Apollo craters are identified in the picture," the tweet said. 

Chandrayaan-2 successfully entered into the Moon's orbit on Tuesday. 

Launched on July 22, its lander named "Vikram" will attempt to make a soft-landing on the lunar surface on Sept. 7. The lander has been named in honor of the father of Indian space research program - Vikram Sarabhai. 

Earlier this month, Chandrayaan-2 had sent the first set of pictures of the Earth.
