On 4th March 2022, a spent rocket booster hit the lunar surface near the Hertzsprung crater, which is in the far side of the Moon. The impact created a double crater which is ~28m wide. Terrain Mapping Camera – 2 (TMC-2) onboard Chandrayaan-2 imaged the far side of the Moon in April 2022 and identified the impact site. Isro chief K Sivan said that the spacecraft has completed 9,000 revolutions of the Moon during a workshop. Two years after its lander, rover combination crash-landed on the far side of the moon, the Chandrayaan-2 mission is still delivering critical observations to India as it completes 9,000 orbits around the Moon.
