See stunning new photos and videos of the moon as India's Chandrayaan-3 rover enters lunar orbit
India's Chandrayaan-3 lunar lander has returned its first images from the moon after entering orbit around our nearest neighbor.
Chandrayaan-3 launched on July 14, heading into an initial highly elliptical Earth orbit. It then gradually raised its orbit before making a burn on July 31 that set it on course for the moon. The spacecraft successfully entered orbit around our natural satellite on Saturday , according to ISRO. The spacecraft will conduct further engine burns to bring it into a circular track about 60 miles above the surface of the moon a week ahead of the expected landing attempt.
