According to the last publication:
QUOTE More orbit raising manoeuvres are planned in the coming few days to take Chandrayaan-1 towards the Moon. There will be at least one more. |

OK, before I post about this one, I need a reality check. Remember how when Rosetta flew by Earth and returned a lovely Earth photo, it was published reversed (flipped right for left) -- see discussion here? Well, if I am not mistaken, the whole-Earth image from Chandrayaan-1 is also flipped right for left. Compare the cloud patterns over Australia to this photo, taken about an hour earlier, by MTSAT-1R, the geostationary satellite operated by Japan:
It looks like the other image is oriented correctly. Am I right about that? --Emily -------------------- My website - My Patreon - @elakdawalla on Twitter - Please support unmannedspaceflight.com by donating here.

Well, I'll say this: ONE of them sure appears to be the wrong way around!
Seriously, mistaking left - right, or even worse, which way the illumination *ought* to come from is hilarious. -------------------- |

Here's a jumping-off point for images of Earth from geostationary satellites:
