Summarize this content to 100 words Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) showed photo of the Moon from the Chandrayaan-3 landing module after the separation of the apparatus from the propulsion (flight) module of the lunar orbit.August 17. ISRO reported about the successful separation of the landing and propulsion (flight) modules of “Chandrayan-3” in the lunar orbit.The landing module will cover the rest of the way on its own. Further approach to the Moon involves two maneuvers (Deorbit 1 and Deorbit 2).The first stage of Deorbit 1 was successfully completed on August 18. The Chandrayaan-3 lander entered an intermediate orbit of 113×157 km. During the second maneuver on August 20, the orbit of the module will be adjusted to the parameters of 100×30 km.It is planned that on August 23, the landing module “Chandrayan-3” will begin the procedure of descent to the surface of the moon and will touch down approximately at these coordinates.August 16. ISRO reportedthat the automatic interplanetary station “Chandrayan-3” completed the planned maneuvers in the lunar orbit and began preparations for the separation procedure of the lander and propulsion modules, as well as the descent of the lander and lunar rover “Chandrayan-3″ to the Moon.Today, a successful short-duration thruster put Chandrayaan-3 into a 153 by 163 km orbit as planned. At this point, the maneuvers related to the flight to the moon have been completed,” said the ISRO representative.Earlier, the head of ISRO Sridhara Somanath said that the landing of “Chandrayan-3″ on the moon is planned for August 23.”Chandrayan-3” consists of three parts: a landing module, a module with a propulsion unit and a lunar rover with research equipment. The main task of the 26-kilogram six-wheeled lunar rover “Pryan” is to conduct a chemical analysis of the lunar soil and test various scientific instruments and technologies intended for space missions. If Chandrayaan-3 is successful, the lunar rover should spend 14 Earth days (one lunar day) on the surface of the satellite.

The Indian Space Agency has shown new detailed photos of the Moon from the Chandrayaan-3 lander
Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) showed photo of the Moon from the Chandrayaan-3 landing module after the separation of the apparatus from the propulsion (flight) module of the lunar orbit.
August 17. ISRO reported about the successful separation of the landing and propulsion (flight) modules of “Chandrayan-3” in the lunar orbit.
The landing module will cover the rest of the way on its own. Further approach to the Moon involves two maneuvers (Deorbit 1 and Deorbit 2).
The first stage of Deorbit 1 was successfully completed on August 18. The Chandrayaan-3 lander entered an intermediate orbit of 113×157 km. During the second maneuver on August 20, the orbit of the module will be adjusted to the parameters of 100×30 km.
It is planned that on August 23, the landing module “Chandrayan-3” will begin the procedure of descent to the surface of the moon and will touch down approximately at these coordinates.
