The Chandrayaan-3 is inching closer to the Moon, as confirmed and shared by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Chandrayaan-3 will make its first attempt at soft-landing to the Moon's south pole region on 23 August.

At present, the Lander module of Chandrayaan-3, comprising Vikram lander and Pragyan rover, after a successful deboosting, reduced their orbit to 113 km x 157 km. The second deboosting operation is scheduled for August 20, 2023, around 2 PM.

It has been a month and four days since ISRO launched the Chandrayaan-3 mission on July 14. Chandrayaan, which means "moon vehicle" in Sanskrit, was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota.

The approved cost of Chandrayaan-3 is ₹250 crore (excluding launch vehicle cost).
