Chandrayaan-3 has covered about two-thirds of distance to moon

As of August 4, Chandrayaan-3, India’s third moon mission which was launched on July 14, has covered about two-thirds of the distance to Earth’s only natural satellite.

On August 1, ISRO performed the TransLunar Injection (TLI) to slingshot Chandrayaan-3 towards the moon. In other words, ISRO put the spacecraft, which was orbiting Earth, on course to the moon.

Following TLI, ISRO said that the health of the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is normal, and it has entered the moon’s sphere of influence.
