An image released by ISRO showcased two important instruments from the Vikram lander: the Chandra’s Surface Thermo-physical Experiment (ChaSTE) probe and the Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA) probe. The Pragyan rover boasts a pair of front-facing navigation cameras. The data captured by these cameras is processed at ISRO’s Space Applications Centre situated in Ahmedabad.
