Hi Science Freaks;
This is a very good news for the all science freaks; ISRO received the first image from the Chandrayaan-1 on October 29,2008.
This image was taken by Terrain Mapping Camera (TMC). Series of commends was given from Spacecraft Control Centre of ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Commend Network (ISTRAC) at Bangalore. Than the first image was analysed by Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN) at Byalalu and then processed by Indian Space Science Data Centre (ISSDC), these all confirmed the excellent working of camera.
The first imagery taken at 8:00 am IST from a height of 9,000 km shows the Northern coast of Australia.
The second image taken at 12:30 PM from a height of 70,000 km shows Australia’s Southern Coast.
TMC (Terrain Mapping Camera) is one of the eleven scientific instruments (payloads) of Chandrayaan-1. The camera can take black and white pictures of an object by recording the visible light reflected from it. The instrument has a resolution of about 5 metres. 
Besides TMC, the other four Indian payloads of Chandrayaan-1 are the Hyper spectral Imager (HySI), Lunar Laser Ranging Instrument (LLRI), High Energy X-ray Spectrometer (HEX) and the Moon Impact Probe (MIP). The other six payloads of Chandrayaan-1 are from abroad.
It may be recalled that the 1380 kg Chandrayaan-1 was successfully launched into an initial elliptical orbit around the Earth by PSLV-C11 on October 22, 2008.
