The Isro has completed another manoeuvre to guide Chandrayaan-3 into a circular orbit ahead of the separation of the landing module, Vikram and Pragyan, from the propulsion module. Once the orbit has been achieved, Vikram's velocity will have to be reduced from 30km height to the final landing for the final descent to be made.

India’s Moon mission is a step closer to achieving its goal of a soft landing on the lunar surface. The Vikram lander of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft has successfully split up from the propulsion module, the Indian Space Research Organisation announced yesterday. The main purpose of the module was to accompany the lander and the rover to the 100 km lunar orbit. It will now proceed on its path in the current orbit for months or even years. The lander module, comprising the Vikram lander and Pragyaan rover, is expected to touchdown on the Moon’s south pole on 23 August, while the propulsion module will continue with its journey in the same orbit.
