Chandrayaan-3 mission detailed timeline

July 6: ISRO publicizes Mission Chandrayaan-3 launch date of July 14 from Sriharikota’s second pad.

July 7: Successful automobile electrical checks accomplished.

July 11: Comprehensive 24-hour ‘Launch Rehearsal’ simulating your complete launch course of concludes.

July 14: LVM3 M4 automobile launches Chandrayaan-3 into designated orbit.

July 15: First orbit-raising manoeuvre profitable, reaching 41762 km x 173 km orbit.

July 17: Second orbit-raising manoeuvre locations Chandrayaan-3 at 41603 km x 226 km orbit.

July 22: Fourth orbit-raising manoeuvre establishes spacecraft in 71351 km x 233 km orbit.

July 25: Another profitable orbit-raising manoeuvre.

August 1: Chandrayaan-3 inserted into translunar orbit (288 km x 369328 km).

August 5: Successful lunar orbit insertion (164 km x 18074 km).

August 6: Lunar orbit lowered to 170 km x 4,313 km.

August 9: ISRO fastidiously strikes the spacecraft’s path decrease in its orbit across the moon. It has achieved a lunar orbit of 174 km x 1437 km

August 14: Chandrayaan-3 will get nearer to the moon’s floor in one other managed bringing it in a orbit of 150 km x 177 km

August 16: The Indian spacecraft performs the fifth and ultimate Moon-bound manoeuvre positioning itself in a close to round Lunar orbit of 163*153 km.

August 17: The touchdown module, comprising the Vikram lander and Pragyan rover, will separate from its propulsion system.

Over the following few days, the Chandrayaan-3 will make the ultimate orbit adjustment by lowering it to be round 100*30 km, the farthest and nearest level from the moon respectively.

August 23: If the whole lot goes effectively, deliberate lunar landing try at 5:47pm the place the spacecraft will journey the final 30km distance.
