India’s third lunar exploration mission, Chandrayaan-3, has been successfully inserted into an orbit around the Moon on Saturday, 22 days after it left Earth, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has said.

Iran PressAsia: The spacecraft, which was launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota on the country's east coast in mid-July, has completed around two-thirds of its journey to the Moon. 

The lunar orbit insertion performed by Chandrayaan-3 on Saturday is a critical phase of the mission aimed at sending a spacecraft from its trajectory around the Earth to a trajectory that will allow it to enter the orbit of the Moon.
