On 23 August 2023, as the lander approached the low point of its orbit, its four engines fired as a braking manoeuvre at 30 kilometres (19 mi) above the Moon's surface.
[10] [11] It is planned to be a part of Mangalyaan 2 mission. [12] It will conduct a high-resolution vertical profiling of critical atmospheric parameters and perform first-of-its-kind in-situ measurements in the near-surface boundary layers of Mars.
On 18 September 2024, Chandrayaan-4 received approval from The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi for ₹ 2,104.06 crore (US$240 million) and is expected to be completed within 36 months.

One of the main advantages of having the DSN at Byalalu was its saucer-like shape that would help in blocking radio frequency disturbances. The DSN was initially set up to track Chandrayaan I, India's first lunar mission; as of September 2014, it is being used to track the ongoing Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM), known as Mangalyaan.
