Chandrayaan-3 Updates: In what condition is Chandrayaan-3 at present? Everyone wants to know the answer to this question. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is constantly giving information about this. According to the latest information, scientists have successfully completed the fifth exercise of lifting ‘Chandrayaan-3’ into the Moon’s orbit on Tuesday. This work was done from ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) in Bengaluru.
According to the information given by ISRO, the vehicle is expected to reach an orbit of 127609 km X 236 km. Let us tell you that on July 14, Chandrayaan-3 flew to the surface of the Moon. ISRO said that the next process of raising Chandrayaan in orbit ‘Translunar Injection (TLI)’ will be done on August 1, 2023 between 12 midnight and 1 am.
It may be noted that earlier on July 20, the orbit was 71351 Km x 233 Km. Now the spacecraft will leave the Earth’s orbit and move towards the Moon through the midnight sling shot of 31 July and 1 August and will reach the Moon’s orbit on 5 August. On August 23, it can be seen landing on the moon.
