Chandrayaan-3 shares new video of images of the Moon

Setting another milestone for India's lunar mission, ISRO on Friday released a new video of images of the Moon captured by the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft. The images were captured using its Lander Position Detection Camera (LPDC) on August 15. The video comes a day after the lunar mission marked a successful achievement as its Lander Module was separated from the Propulsion module on Thursday.

Launched on July 14, 2023, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India, Chandrayaan-3 entered the moon's orbit on August 5, 2023. The Vikram lander was set to undergo a critical deboosting maneuver today at 4:00 pm. This significant step is part of the spacecraft's final preparations for its scheduled landing on the Moon's surface on August 23.
