The insertion into the moon's orbit was done through commands transmitted from the space agency's Mission Operation Complex in Bengaluru. The next manoeuvre of reducing the orbit, which will bring the spacecraft closer to the moon, is scheduled for Sunday night, Isro said in a statement.
"Chandrayaan-3 has been successfully inserted into the moon's orbit. In the coming days, it will be brought down to 100km circular. The journey continues uninterrupted as the moon draws closer and closer," science minister Jitendra Singh said.
