Chandrayaan-3 is steadily inching toward the Moon. Today, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully performed the scheduled orbit-reducing operation on the spacecraft, bringing it closer to the lunar surface. The next operation that will further reduce the mission's orbit is planned for August 14. If everything goes according to plan, Chandrayaan-3 will soft land on the Moon on August 23.
