RO's Chandrayaan-3 mission is successful
The satellite has now been injected into the desired orbit to begin its journey to the Moon.
In about 40 days, the Chandrayaan-3 module will aim to land near the south pole of the Moon in a historic feat.
Chandrayaan-3 is ISRO's second attempt to land on the Moon, a follow-up to Chandrayaan-2 from 2019.
Chandrayaan-3 consists of a propulsion module (PM) and a lander called Vikram. The latter also includes a rover called Pragyan.
Chandrayaan-3 is expected to reach its target landing site on August 23 at 5:47pm.
