NASA captures images of Chandrayaan-2's Moon landing site: Official

As the deadline to re-establish communication with Chandrayaan 2's Vikram lander nears, NASA's Moon orbiter has captured images of the lunar region where the Indian mission made an unsuccessful attempt to soft-land, a senior official with the US space agency confirmed on Thursday.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) spacecraft has snapped a series of images during its flyby on September 17 of Vikram's attempted landing sight near the Moon's uncharted south pole.

Grey Hautaluoma, Senior Communications Team Lead at NASA told PTI in an email that "the LRO images are still being processed."
