India‘s third moon mission, Chandrayaan-3, was successfully launched onboard a Launch Vehicle Mark-3
(LVM-3) rocket from the second launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on July 14.

successfully soft-landed on the moon.
ISRO Chairman S. Somanath said the next 42 days are crucial. ―As per the nominal programme, we will
have five earth-bound manoeuvres [that] will end on July 31. After that we have the trans-lunar insertion,
[which] will take place on August 1. After that, it will be captured [by the] moon. This will be followed by the
separation of the propulsion module and the lander module on August 17. ―The landing is currently planned on
