After lunar insertion, ISRO's main goal is to prepare Chandrayaan-3 for a gentle landing on the lesser-explored southern pole of the Moon by around August 23.
spacecraft was performed successfully today as planned, using the onboard propulsion system. The orbit achieved is 170 km x 4313 km.At least three lunar maneuvers will be performed to bring the spacecraft to a height of 62 miles above the selected landing spot. The spacecraft is currently in a 273 km x 6941 km orbit around the moon.
In the upcoming tension-filled phases, a sequence of intricate maneuvers will be executed to attain a gentle touchdown.
