Isro brings back Chandrayaan-3 Propulsion Module to Earth Orbit, shows off tech to return from Moon

IndiaTimes Monday, 4 December 2023
ISRO successfully returns the Chandrayaan-3 Propulsion Module (PM) to Earth's orbit after surpassing lunar mission objectives. The mission aimed to showcase a soft landing near the lunar south polar region using the Vikram Lander and Pragyaan rover. The PM's trajectory was adjusted to transition from lunar orbit to Earth orbit, avoiding potential collisions. Currently orbiting Earth, the PM poses no threats to operational satellites. The successful repositioning extends the PM's mission life and contributes valuable insights for future lunar missions.
