Beresheet, the first Israeli spacecraft, currently running on the Moon, completed another successful maneuver on Thursday.

SpaceIL and Israel Aerospace Industries Engineers completed the maneuver at 3:11 pm local time, according to a press release.

"The maneuver was complicated," read the statement. "During the maneuver, Beresheet's main engine was activated for 152 seconds." "The next maneuver is planned in another two weeks."

Beresheet launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida in late February and is scheduled to land on the moon in mid-April.
