Chandrayaan-2 had successfully entered the Lunar Transfer Trajectory (LTT) on August 14, after its orbit was raised further. The final orbit raising manoeuvre of Chandrayaan-2 was successfully carried out at 2.21 a.m. by firing the spacecraft’s motors for 1,203 seconds
India’s Moon Mission will explore a region of the moon where no mission has ever set foot. The spacecraft consists of an orbiter, a lander, and a rover.
The spacecraft will be the first Indian expedition to attempt a soft landing on the lunar surface. This mission will make India the fourth country after the US, Russia, and China to carry out a soft landing on the moon.
