Chandrayaan-3 performs final earth orbit move, lunar insertion next: ISRO
On Tuesday, the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft performed its fifth and final Earth-bound orbit-raising operation in preparation for lunar insertion.
The next phase is to switch to an Earth-to-Moon trajectory, where the gravity of the Moon will ultimately draw it into lunar orbit.
The ultimate objective is to land softly on the lunar surface.

Chandrayaan-3: If the mission succeeds, India would join a group of three other countries that have managed a controlled lunar landing, including the United States, the former Soviet Union and China.
The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft would also be the first to land at the lunar south pole, an area of special interest for space agencies and private space companies because of the presence of water ice that could support a future space station.
After Chandrayaan 3, ISRO is ready to launch PSLV-C56 carrying 7 satellites
After the successful launch of the Chandrayaan-3 mission on July 14, scientists of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) are preparing to launch Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C56 (PSLV- C56) from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
The PSLV-C56 will be varying seven satellites, including Singapore’s DS-SAR satellite. The PSLV will lift off at 6.30 AM on July 30, ISRO said in a tweet.

The launch of PSLV–C56 will carry DS-SAR satellites and 6 other co-passengers. The DS-SAR satellite has been developed with a partnership between Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA), Singapore and ST Engineering. After getting deployed, the DS-SAR will be used for supporting the satellite images for different agencies of the Government of Singapore. Additionally, ST Engineering will be contributing multi-modal and high-responsiveness images and geospatial services for their customers through this satellite.
