Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Friday announced that the Lander Module (LM), that had separated from the propulsion vehicle, was normal and on its way to land on the moon, leading to frenzied excitement in the country on one of the most keenly-watched space programs after the failed mission three years ago.

LM successfully underwent a deboosting operation that reduced its orbit to 113 km x 157 km.

The second deboosting operation is scheduled for August 20, 2023, around 2 IST.

Chandrayaan is scheduled to land on the moon on August 23.
