Good night Vikram, you did a great job! 👋
The Vikram Lander was put into sleep mode this morning after having completed and *exceeded* all its primary mission objectives.
Just as with Pragyan, this was done to give Vikram the best shot at surviving the Lunar night. ❄️
Let us all hope both of them will wake up on the 22nd of September when sunrise occurs and will continue to explore this uncharted region of the Moon! 🌙

Chandrayaan-3 Mission:
The orbit-raising maneuver (Earth-bound perigee firing) is performed successfully from ISTRAC/ISRO, Bengaluru.
The spacecraft is expected to attain an orbit of 127609 km x 236 km. The achieved orbit will be confirmed after the observations.
The next firing, the TransLunar Injection (TLI), is planned for August 1, 2023, between 12 midnight and 1 am IST.
