Chandrayaan-3: The Indian spacecraft has covered about two-thirds of the distance to the Moon since its launch on July 14.
Earlier on August 1, the ISRO informed that the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft completed its orbits around the Earth and is now heading towards the Moon.
Since flight controllers accidentally sent the wrong command more than a week ago that tilted Voyager 2's antenna away from Earth, the spacecraft has been drifting further and further into interstellar space.
In 2023, there are a total of four occasions when the supermoon will be visible. The first such happening was in July, second and third will be in August and the fourth and last will be in September.
The PSLV-C56 is configured in its core-alone mode, similar to the successful PSLV-C55 mission launched in April this year.

The scientists said they will need to wait until 2026 in order to properly track the two objects around the star known as PDS 70.
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's Apollo 11 mission marked the first and most iconic lunar landing, while Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt's Apollo 17 mission was the last lunar landing, taking place from December 11 to December 14, 1972.
Chandrayaan-3 MISSION UPDATE: On July 14, the Indian Space Research Organisation successfully launched Chandrayaan-3 on board an LVM3-M4 rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. And 17 minutes after lift-off at 2.35 pm, the satellite was precisely injected into the intended orbit.
ISRO stated that the spacecraft is now in 41603 km x 226 km orbit.
Chandrayaan-3 launch represents a significant stride for India's space exploration goals, showcasing technological prowess and advancing lunar research. Successful completion will bolster India's global standing in space and lay the foundation for future lunar missions.
The report highlighted the startups in India with ambitious plans for capitalising on the burgeoning demand of small satellites in low Earth orbits.
Einstein's general theory of relativity means that we should observe the distant -- and hence ancient -- universe running much slower than the present day.
This is a follow-on mission to Chandrayaan-2 to demonstrate end-to-end capability in safe landing and roving on the lunar surface. It has a lander and rover configuration.
If you go outside at that time, you’ll be able to see all five planets stretching across the sky — from Mercury down by the horizon to Saturn higher up in the sky — until the sun rises.
Speaking to the media after inaugurating a one-day workshop and space exhibition at Kothavara St Xavier's College organised by ISRO, Somanath said that the Chandrayaan has already reached the launch pad in Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, from U R Rao Satellite Centre.
After the wood samples were returned to Earth from the International Space Station by Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata, they were also subjected to a preliminary inspection, which included strength tests and analyses of crystal structures.
