The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has achieved another significant milestone in its ambitious lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3. On August 15, the spacecraft captured stunning images of the Moon using its Lander Position Detection Camera (LPDC). The video was released on Friday, marking a crucial step in ISRO's ongoing lunar exploration.

00:00 ISRO has achieved another significant milestone in its ambitious lunar mission Chandrayaan-3.
00:06 On August 15, the spacecraft captured stunning images of the moon using its Lander Position
00:12 Detection Camera.
00:13 The video was released on Friday, marking a crucial step in ISRO's ongoing lunar exploration.
00:19 ISRO on Friday released a set of visuals of the moon captured by cameras positioned on
00:23 the Lander Module of Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft.
00:27 The images captured after the separation of the Lander Module from the Propulsion Module
00:30 of the spacecraft on Thursday showed the craters on the moon's surface that were marked on
00:35 the photographs released by ISRO as Fabry, Giordano Bruno and Harkhe Bijay.
00:41 In a post on ex-formerly Twitter, ISRO shared the latest images of the lunar surface from
00:45 Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft's Lander Imager Camera 1.
00:50 It also shared visuals of the lunar surface captured by the Chandrayaan-3's Lander Position
00:54 Detection Camera on August 15.
00:56 Chandrayaan-3's Vikram Lander underwent a key deboosting maneuver on Friday after successfully
01:01 getting separated from the Propulsion Module a day before.
01:04 ISRO took to X to announce that the deboosting maneuver was completed, which reduced the
01:08 Lander Module's orbit to 113 km into 157 km.
01:14 The second deboosting operation is scheduled for August 20, 2023, around 0200 hours, it
01:20 added.
01:22 Deboosting is a process of slowing down to position itself in an orbit where the orbit's
01:26 closest point to the moon is 30 km and the farthest point is 100 km.
01:31 The next Lander Module deorbit 1 maneuver is scheduled for tomorrow, August 18, 2023,
01:36 around 400 hours ISRO had posted on X yesterday while announcing the successful separation
01:42 of the Lander from the Propulsion Module.
01:45 The Chandrayaan-3 mission's Lander is named after Vikram Sarabhai, who is widely regarded
01:49 as the father of the Indian space program.
01:51 On Wednesday, the spacecraft carried out the final lunar-bound orbit reduction maneuver
01:55 of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft, a week ahead of its scheduled landing on the south pole
01:59 of the moon on August 23.
02:01 ISRO is bidding to make a successful soft landing on the moon, which will make India
02:05 the fourth country in the world to achieve defeat after the US, Russia and China.
02:10 The stated objectives of Chandrayaan-3, India's third lunar mission, are safe and soft landing,
02:14 rover roving on the moon's surface, and in-situ scientific experiments.
02:18 The approved cost of Chandrayaan-3 is Rs 250 crores.
