Chandrayaan-3 update: ISRO carries out second manoeuvre, says report

Scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation successfully performed the second move around to push the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft's altitude at the closest point to Earth (perigee) in its current elliptical orbit on July 16, as per the Times of India.

Although, Sunday's manoeuvre was minor compared to the one carried out on July 15.

As per the Times of India report, the onboard thrusters were fired for about 42 seconds after which the perigee of Chandrayaan-3 is now around 220km.

ISRO, on July 14, successfully launched the third edition of its lunar exploration programme from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, aimed at making a soft landing on the unexplored south pole of the Moon that would help India achieve a rare feat.
