Chandrayaan-3 hits milestone as Vikram lander detaches from spacecraft's propulsion module

Chandrayaan-3 on Thursday achieved a significant milestone as the Vikram lander detached from the spacecraft's propulsion module. The spacecraft will remain in orbit for a few more days before the lander and rover, Pragyaan, attempt to land on the Moon on August 23. ​​If successful, this achievement will significantly bolster India's space ambitions. No other nation has achieved a successful landing on the Moon's south pole, making this a groundbreaking moment.
