Chandrayaan-3 - ISRO’s lunar mission is in its final stage now. The spacecraft inched closer to the Moon on August 20 with the successful execution of its second and final de-boosting operation. The module manoeuvred itself into an orbit with the closest approach to the Moon at 25 km x 134 km. This orbit sets the stage for a soft landing attempt in the uncharted south-polar region of the Moon. If this mission is conducted successfully, India will become the first country to reach the south pole of the Moon. On July 14, the nation witnessed the historic lift-off of the Chandrayaan-3 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) recently shared stunning visuals of the moon captured by the Lander Position Detection Camera on August 15 and captured by the Lander Imager (LI) Camera-1 on August 17. Apart from that, Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander underwent a crucial deboosting manoeuvre and descended to a slightly lower orbit on Friday, after successfully getting separated from the propulsion module the day before. The deboosting manoeuvre was scheduled at around 1600 IST.

ISRO’s lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 is on track as the spacecraft inches closer to the Moon. In a massive success, Chandrayaan-3’s Lander Module separated from Propulsion Module on August 17. On August 16, the spacecraft completed all of its lunar bound maneuvers. Now, the lander module is set to descend to a slightly lower orbit upon a deboosting planned for August 18. The soft landing on the south pole of the Moon will be attempted on August 23. India will likely become the first country to reach the less explored south pole of the Moon after successful landing. Chandrayaan-3’s lift-off happened on July 14 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Siharikota.
