A fortnight after its successful launch from Sriharikota, Chandrayaan-3 completed its orbit around the earth and headed towards the moon for the next phase of the mission, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced. With this, Chandrayaan-3 commenced its 3.8 lakh-km-long journey to the Moon. The Lunar-Orbit Insertion (LOI) is planned for August 5, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said.

00:00 A fortnight after its successful launch from Sriharikota, Chandrayaan-3 completed its orbit
00:08 around the Earth and headed towards the Moon for the next phase of the mission, the Indian
00:13 Space Research Organisation announced.
00:15 With this, Chandrayaan-3 commenced its 3.8 lakh-kilometre journey to the Moon.
00:22 The Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) is planned for August 5, the Indian Space Research Organisation
00:28 said.
00:29 The lunar injection was conducted between 12 am and 12.30 am on Monday.
00:34 ISRO officials said that the Chandrayaan-3 mission has stuck to schedule and the spacecraft's
00:38 health is currently normal.
00:40 ISRO informed about the same via a tweet which read, "Chandrayaan-3 completes its orbit
00:45 around the Earth and head towards the Moon.
00:47 A successful perigee firing performed at Israq, ISRO, has injected the spacecraft into the
00:54 trans-lunar orbit.
00:56 Next stop, the Moon.
00:57 As it arrives at the Moon, the Lunar Orbit Insertion is planned for August 5, 2023.
01:03 Prior to this, the orbit of the spacecraft had been systematically raised in five stages
01:08 following its launch on July 14 from Satish Dhawan Space Station in Sriharikota.
01:15 Chandrayaan-3 was successfully launched into orbit by ISRO onboard launch vehicle Mark
01:19 3, formerly known as the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (Mk-III).
01:25 After a 40-day flight, the spacecraft is expected to make a soft landing near the Moon's south
01:30 pole, making India the fourth country to land on the surface of the Moon and the first country
01:35 to make a soft landing near the lunar south pole.
01:38 This mission builds on Chandrayaan-2's achievements by reaching the Moon's orbit, landing a soft
01:44 lander on the lunar surface, and deploying a rover to study the lunar surface.
01:49 Chandrayaan-3 carries scientific instruments designed to study various aspects of the lunar
01:53 surface, including the thermophysical properties of the lunar regolith, lunar seismicity, the
01:58 lunar surface plasma environment, and the elemental composition in the vicinity of the
02:03 landing site of the Moon.
