The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) conducted a unique experiment by moving the Propulsion Module (PM) of Chandrayaan-3 from an orbit around the Moon to an orbit around Earth. The primary objective of the Chandrayaan-3 mission was to demonstrate a soft landing near the lunar south polar region and perform experiments using the instruments on Vikram and Pragyaan. The PM successfully completed an orbit-raising maneuver and a Trans-Earth injection maneuver, placing it in an Earth-bound orbit. The mission objectives of Chandrayaan-3 have been completely met.
