NEW DELHI, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- India's Moon Mission-3, or Chandrayaan-3, completed Lunar-bound maneuvers and entered into an orbit of 153 x 163 kilometers as per the plans, confirmed the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Wednesday.

The next step is to prepare for the Propulsion Module and the Lander Module as they gear up for separation slated to take place on Thursday, added the ISRO.

The country's Science and Technology Minister Jitendra Singh hoped that India's Moon Mission-3 might be able to achieve some more evidence of the presence of water, thus establishing a connection with the possibility of human habitat being possible on the Lunar surface.
