LPDC images assist the Lander Module in determining its position (latitude and longitude) by matching them against an onboard moon reference map.
Ahead of its spacecraft’s scheduled soft landing on the lunar surface, ISRO shared several images of moon captured by the Lander Position Detection Camera (LPDC) from an altitude of about 70 km, on August 19, 2023. LPDC images assist the Lander Module in determining its position (latitude and longitude) by matching them against an onboard moon reference map. The space agency wrote in a recent tweet, “The mission is on schedule. Systems are undergoing regular checks. Smooth sailing is continuing. The Mission Operations Complex (MOX) is buzzed with energy & excitement! The live telecast of the landing operations at MOX/ISTRAC begins at 17:20 Hrs. IST on August 23, 2023.” Chandrayaan 3 Moon Landing: Devotees Perform Havan at Shri Math Baghambari Gaddi in Prayagraj for Successful Landing of Vikram Lander on Lunar Surface (Watch Video).
