Context: Recently, the ISRO has sought to pay tribute to Dr Vikram Sarabhai in a special way by announcing that Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter has captured the Moon images of “Sarabhai” Crater.
About Dr. Vikram Ambalal Sarabhai (1919-1971)

• He is internationally regarded as the Father of the Indian Space Program.
• Vikram Sarabhai founded the Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) in Ahmedabad in 1947.
• He was also Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission.
• He along with other Ahmedabad-based industrialists played a major role in the creation of the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Ahmedabad.
• The establishment of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was one of his greatest achievements.
• Dr. Sarabhai was very interested in science education and founded a Community Science Centre at Ahmedabad in 1966.
• He started a project for the fabrication and launch of an Indian satellite. As a result, the first Indian satellite, Aryabhata, was put in orbit in 1975 from a Russian cosmodrome.
• He was honoured with Padma Bhushan in 1966 and the Padma Vibhushan (posthumously) in 1972.
• In 1973, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) decided that a lunar crater, Bessel A, in the Sea of Serenity will be known as the Sarabhai crater.

About Sarabhai Crater

• "Sarabhai" Crater is named after Dr Vikram Sarabhai.
• According to ISRO, the images show that the crater has a depth of around 1.7 km taken from its raised rim.
• A three-dimensional view of the crater was generated using the TMC-2 digital elevation model and ortho image (satellite imagery geometrically corrected).
• The slope of the crater walls is between 25 to 35 degrees.
• These findings will help space scientists to understand further the process on the lunar region filled with lava.
