In an important update to India's Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission, the Vikram lander has successfully separated from the main spacecraft and its propulsion module on Thursday. This marks the beginning of the mission's final phase. India's space agency, ISRO, is aiming to soft-land the Vikram lander on the Moon on August 23. If successful, India will become the fourth country to achieve this incredible feat. ISRO made the announcement on Twitter, stating: "Lander Module (LM) is set to descend to a slightly lower orbit upon a deboosting planned for tomorrow around 1600 Hrs., IST." With this separation, the mission is now one step closer to its main goal, and the whole nation eagerly awaits the results of the historic landing attempt.
