iCube-Qamar on Friday sent the first image of the Moon from lunar orbit.
The first image was received two days after the satellite successfully deployed in orbit on May 8 at 1:14 pm Pakistan time.
iCube-Qamar successfully entered the moon’s orbit on Wednesday at 1:14 pm PST.
The Institute of Space Technology said, “The iCube-Qamar will image the lunar orbit from a distance of 200 kilometres from the surface of the moon.”
“iCube-Qamar has made three rounds around the moon,” the IST said.
It added that the signals of iCube-Qamar will be received on Earth by covering a distance of 360,000 to 400,000 km.
Following its deployment, the satellite will take images of the desired lunar surfaces in a carefully selected 12-hour elliptical orbit.
The iCube-Qamar was launched on board China’s Chang’e-6 from Hainan on May 3.
