Chandrayaan-3: Vikram lander's 2nd de-boost on Sunday will set stage for August 23 landing

Vikram, the Chandrayaan-3 lander, which became independent for the first time since July 14 on Thursday (August 17), will perform the crucial second de-boost manoeuvre at 2am Sunday. “Sunday’s de-boost would be the last operation unless there is a need for some corrections after the manoeuvre. If the de-boost goes as planned, next action would be on August 23, when we attempt landing,” Isro chairman S Somanath told TOI.
