Explained: As Chandrayaan-2 makes Moon landing, here’s what you’ll see

Chandrayaan-2 Moon landing: For a few hours after the landing there would be a state of a near complete blackout and no images would be sent. That is because the landing would cause a lot of dust on lunar surface to rise.

There is disappointment for people waiting to watch the Vikram Lander on Chandrayaan-2 descend on the moon’s surface. There would be no video of the event. Not only will there be no way to watch it descending live, the descent cannot be seen ever. That is because that is no external camera that can capture the lander’s descent.
