TL;DR Summary

India's space agency, Isro, has successfully brought back the propulsion module of its Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission into Earth's orbit. The module had detached from the Vikram lander after it touched down near the lunar south pole in August. The experiment is significant for Isro's plans for future manned missions, and the module will continue to observe Earth from its new position. The module's return also addresses the issue of potential lunar debris.
