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
