The Minister of State, while informing the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), said that the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter has captured a picture of Sarabhai Crater, in a way a special tribute to Vikram Sarabhai. The Sarabhai crater is about 250 to 300 kilometers east of the crater that landed on the Apollo 17 and Luna 21 missions.

A statement released by ISRO said 3D images of the Sarabhai crater showed that the crater was about 1.7 km deep from the raised shore and that its wall slope was 25 to 35 degrees. This discovery will allow astronomers to gain more information about lava and the moon. The statement said that Chandrayaan-2 is working in line with the design and the scientist is receiving important data from it. Chandrayaan-2 will start publishing scientific statistics for global use from October this year.

Chandrayaan-2 was launched on July 22, 2019 with the intention of going to the moon's south pole. However, its lander record had a hard landing on the lunar surface on September seven. Due to which, India's dream of becoming the first country to make a soft landing on the first attempt was shattered.
