Chandrayaan-3: Navigating Lower Lunar Orbits on the Path to Achieving a Soft Moon Landing

Chandrayaan-3 Progress Report: Lunar Orbit Lowered Successfully, Next Steps Laid Out. The latest developments in the Chandrayaan-3 mission are promising. The spacecraft flawlessly executed a planned orbit reduction maneuver, bringing it closer to the moon's surface. Presently positioned at 170 km x 4,313 km, the spacecraft's health remains stable, as affirmed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The upcoming operation, scheduled for August 9 between 13:00 and 14:00 hours IST, will further fine-tune its orbit. The eagerly awaited soft landing attempt is set for August 23. ISRO continues its remarkable streak of lunar exploration accomplishments, now complemented by stunning moon imagery from Chandrayaan-3.
