Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander is about to undergo a crucial deboosting manoeuvre and descend to a slightly lower orbit on Friday, after successfully getting separated from the propulsion module the day before.
Deboosting is the process of slowing down to position itself in an orbit where the orbit's closest point to the Moon (Perilune) is 30 km and the farthest point (the Apolune) is 100 km.
