India's Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft
has completed its orbits around
the earth
The spacecraft successfully
injected into the
translunar orbit
A
successful perigee-firing
performed at
ISTRAC
Translunar orbit injection is the
process whereby the moon-bound
spacecraft has escaped from
orbiting the earth
The spacecraft began its journey
toward the Moon after leaving the
Earth's orbit following the TLI
maneuver
The main object of the mission is
to
land the lander on the lunar soil
safely
As it arrives at the moon, the
Lunar-Orbit Insertion (LOI) is
planned for August 5, 2023
It would attempt soft landing of the
lander on the lunar surface on
August 23
Earlier, the spacecraft’s orbit was
progressively increased five times
