Chandrayaan-3: Mission Chandrayaan-3 achieved a major success today before landing on the lunar surface. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said that the speed of the lander module has been further slowed down at 4 pm today. That is, it has been deboosted.

Noteworthy. That after separating from the Propulsion Module of Chandrayaan-3, the lander (Vikram Lander) itself is covering the distance ahead. On Friday (August 18), the lander module underwent deboosting and descended into a slightly lower lunar orbit.

First deboosting process completed

ISRO had told that the lander was deboosted at 4 pm today. This deboosting process is now complete. ISRO said that the deboosting of the lander module has been successfully completed.

With this, the lander has reached 113 km X 157 km in the lunar orbit. Deboosting means that the speed of the lander Vikram will be reduced. The objective of the deboost is to bring Vikram to perilune (closest point of the orbit to the moon) 30 km and to apollune (farthest point to the moon) 100 km. After this soft landing will be attempted.
