New Delhi, 5/12: The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) has moved the Propulsion Module (PM) of Chandrayaan-3 from an orbit around the moon to an orbit around the earth, in a show of capability that promises to enable future lunar missions.
The use of the PM beyond its stated utility, in what Isro called a “unique experiment”, is also assessed as a demonstration of operation strategies to bring modules launched to the moon back to the earth. The PM left the moon’s sphere of influence .
