Chandrayaan-3 moved a step further towards the Moon on Tuesday. The Indian Space Research Organisation on Tuesday once again successfully completed the orbit-changing process (Earthbound-firing-2) and sent Chandrayaan-3 to Earth’s fifth and last orbit. ISRO will now send Chandrayaan-3 to the Moon’s orbit between 12 a.m. and midnight on August 1.
ISRO tweeted that Chandrayaan-3’s 5th Earth orbit (Earth-bound perigee firing) had been successfully executed from Bengaluru. Chandrayaan-3’s orbit was successfully changed from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. on July 25.
