Chandrayaan-3 will perform a series of orbital maneuvers before the lander separates and heads for the surface of the satellite.

The Indian station Chandrayaan-3 (Chandrayan-3) has successfully entered the orbit of the moon. It was announced on August 5 by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

The device must perform a series of orbital maneuvers before the lunar rover separates from the module with the propulsion system and lands on the Earth satellite, which is scheduled for August 23.

The lunar rover mission weighing 20 kg is designed for 14 Earth days.

It will be recalled that the launch of the LVM3 rocket with the interplanetary station Chandrayaan-3 was done on July 14.

The station consists of three parts – a landing module, a module with a propulsion system and a lunar rover. Their main task is to demonstrate and test the technologies needed to conduct interplanetary missions.

The previous attempt to send a lander and rover to the Moon was made in 2019 as part of the Chandrayaan-2 mission.

Then the orbiter entered a lunar orbit, but due to communication problems, the specialists could not correct the landing module and it crashed on the surface of the Earth satellite.

The Chandrayaan-2 orbiter remained in orbit and continued to collect scientific data on the Moon.
