Chandrayaan-2 inches closer to moon

<span style="color: #222222;">The scientists of the Indian Space Research Organization are gearing up for the final round of orbit-reducing manoeuvre for Chandrayaan-2 this evening. <br />'' <br />'' The country's second lunar craft is set to reach a circular polar synchronous orbit around the moon, at a distance of about a hundred kilometres, after the operation. The crucial task will be performed by firing the onboard propulsion system in the orbiter of Chandrayaan-2. <br />'' <br />'' The new path of the lunar probe around the moon will provide a favourable condition for separation of the lander Vikram from the orbiter tomorrow. <br />'' <br />'' The lander carrying the rover Pragyaan is scheduled to have its rendezvous with the lunar South Pole on the seventh of September with a gentle touch down.<br />'' <br />'' Our correspondent reports that the Orbiter will revolve around the moon for over a year and collect data on the upper atmosphere of the moon. </span><br />
