Following the successful lunar orbit insertion on August 5, 2023, India’s space agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), unveiled a captivating video of the Moon as observed by the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft. The video, taken during the Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI), showcases the Moon’s majestic beauty from the vantage point of the spacecraft.

After completing orbits around Earth on August 1, the spacecraft embarked on its trans-lunar journey, making remarkable progress towards its lunar destination.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission marks India’s third lunar endeavor and represents a significant milestone in the country’s space exploration achievements. As the spacecraft continues its journey towards the Moon, scientists and space enthusiasts worldwide eagerly await further revelations and discoveries from this ambitious mission.
