In Which It Is Revealed...

Sreekumar told TOI that that the six Apollo landing sites
which were mapped related to those of Apollo 11, 12, 14 15 and 17. The process
began on January 7 and ended on January 10. "Our purpose of carrying out this
exercise was to validate and confirm the data through global mapping about the
moon's surface and rocks which had been obtained by these Apollo flights," he
said. It may be recalled that Apollo 11 placed Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on
the moon, which became historical because they were the first humans to step on
the lunar surface.


He said that the mapping of the Apollo landing
zones were done by six of the 11 scientific payloads on Chandrayaan which
included the indigenous Terrain Mapping Camera which was first activated on
October 29, 1995, the Hyper Spectal Imaging Camera also from Isro, Nasa's Moon
Minerology Mapper, Radom from Bulgaria and the Near Infra-Red Spectrometer
(Sir-2) of Germany.
... that the Indian government is apparently part of the "Moon Landing Conspiracy". So "Mooners", it's even worse than you thought .. LOL
