Indian space exploration mission Chandrayaan-3, the Propulsion Module (PM) of Chandrayaan-3 has been skillfully maneuvered from the lunar orbit back into Earth’s orbit. Following a series of precise orbital adjustments, including an orbit-raising maneuver and a Trans-Earth injection maneuver, the PM now resides in a stable Earth-bound orbit.
After spending a commendable two months orbiting the Moon, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) executed a series of gravity assists to guide the Propulsion Module safely back to Earth. This strategic move sets the stage for special experiments utilizing the unique capabilities of the SHAPE payload carried by the module.
This achievement marks a significant milestone for the Chandrayaan-3 mission, showcasing the prowess of ISRO in executing complex maneuvers in space. The return of the Propulsion Module to Earth orbit opens up new avenues for conducting experiments and gathering valuable data, contributing to India’s growing reputation in the field of space exploration. Stay tuned for further updates as Chandrayaan-3 continues its journey of scientific discovery and exploration.
