The Chandrayaan 3 mission is India’s third lunar exploration mission, and its first attempt to soft land on the Moon since the Chandrayaan 2 mission in 2019. The lander module is carrying the Pragyan rover, which will be deployed on the lunar surface to study the Moon’s surface and atmosphere.

The separation of the lander module is a major milestone for the Chandrayaan 3 mission, and brings India one step closer to achieving its goal of soft landing on the Moon.

The separation of the lander module is a major step forward for the Chandrayaan-3 mission, and brings India one step closer to achieving its goal of soft landing on the Moon. The next major event in the mission will be the descent of the lander module to the lunar surface, which is scheduled to take place on August 23.

The lander Vikram thanked the Propulsion Module for taking it closer to the Moon, and said that it would now begin the process of decelerating and landing on the lunar surface. This work will start from tomorrow.

Chandrayaan-3 reached the Moon’s orbit after 22 days of launch. At first, this spacecraft was orbiting the Earth under the attraction of the Earth’s gravity. There, the spacecraft changed its orbit 5 times.

The successful separation of the lander module is a major achievement for the ISRO, and is a significant step forward in India’s journey to space exploration. The success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission will help India to further its scientific research and technological capabilities, and will also boost the morale of the Indian people.
