Chandrayaan-3's Propulsion Module Returns to Earth's Orbit

In a milestone event, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has successfully brought Chandrayaan-3″s propulsion module back to Earth”s orbit. The ace move showcased ISRO scientists” prowess in space exploration as well as bringing payload back to earth.

The propulsion module was primarily designed to deliver Chandrayan-3 to the moon surface. However, as it could successfully maneuver to the earth, it proved to be capable of transporting humans from the moon to the earth as well.

With Chandrayan-4, ISRO plans to return samples from the Moon. They have also planned to send astronauts to the Moon in the near future.

There are numerous steps involved in these missions, such as safely landing a spacecraft on the moon surface, collecting samples for analysis, lifting off from the moon, re-entering lunar orbit, and docking with a module to return to earth.

The final step is the re-entry of the spacecraft into Earth”s atmosphere and a safe landing. Isro has successfully tested some of the steps in their space lab.
