"The Moon, as viewed by Chandrayaan3 spacecraft during Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) on August 5, 2023," the Indian space agency said.

The video was released by the space agency hours before the second major manoeuvre which is to take place on late Sunday night.

 


The Isro on Satruday confirmed that the Lunar Orbit Injection (LOI) was performed around 7 pm IST, placing the spacecraft into a stable lunar orbit.

Launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on July 14, 2023, aboard the LVM-3 rocket, Chandrayaan-3 has covered over three lakh kilometers in space between Earth and the Moon. The spacecraft had completed its orbits around the Earth on August 1 and began its trans-lunar journey towards the Moon.
