Successful Separation: Chandrayaan-3's Lander Vikram Achieves Intended Orbit

India's Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft has successfully attained its intended orbit around the Moon, with the lander Vikram set to separate from the propulsion module on August 17. The spacecraft will need to achieve a 100-kilometer circular orbit before the final soft landing attempt on the Moon's South Pole on August 23. The new C3 lander has been designed to withstand potential glitches and ensure a successful landing, according to ISRO Chief S. Somnath.
