The Chandrayaan-3 mission’s indigenous lander module, called Vikram, captured a new batch of photographs of the Moon and Earth on Thursday, which were released by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Before the Chandrayaan-3 makes a soft landing on the moon’s surface, only two weeks remain. On August 5, the spacecraft entered the lunar orbit. On August 23, it is anticipated to touch down on the moon. The first Moon photographs from Chandrayaan-3 have been released, and they are spectacular.After safely entering lunar orbit, Chandrayaan-3 will perform its next mission on Sunday. Moon landing is expected to be soft.

Chandrayaan-3 will make a number of de-orbiting maneuvers to bring it closer to the Moon so that Vikram can touch down there. The propulsion module will “boost a process to ensure a smooth landing of the lander, according to ISRO chief S Somanath. “Even if everything goes wrong, if all the sensors stop working, nothing works, Vikram will still land. As long as the propulsion system functions properly, that is how it has been built, he told the news agency PTI. According to Somanath, these de-orbiting actions will be carried out on August 9, August 14, and August 16 until its orbit is reduced to 100 km x 100 km from the Moon.
