The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Saturday achieved yet another historic feat as Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft successfully entered the Moon’s orbit post 7pm IST. The spacecraft’s lander is expected to touch down on Moon’s surface on August 23.

“MOX, ISTRAC, this is Chandrayaan-3. I am feeling lunar gravity,” ISRO tweeted after the entry.

“Chandrayaan-3 has been successfully inserted into the lunar orbit.

“A retro-burning at the Perilune was commanded from the Mission Operations Complex (MOX), ISTRAC, Bengaluru.

“The next operation – reduction of orbit – is scheduled for Aug 6, 2023, around 23:00 Hrs. IST,” ISRO further informed.
