   On August 20, Chandrayaan-2 successfully moved into lunar orbit and the next day it went through its second lunar bound orbit manoeuvre. Chandrayaan-2 will now go through another three such lunar orbit manoeuvres till the spacecraft attains a near-circular orbit of 100 km around the moon. (Image source: ISRO)

   Once it reaches this point, the Vikram lander carrying the small Pragyaan rover, will get separated from the main composite module and start its incremental descent towards the surface of the Moon. The separation is scheduled to take place on September 4, after which the lander and rover would position themselves in a lower orbit. The landing is scheduled to take place at 01:40 hours IST on September 7. (Image source: ISRO)
