ISRO successfully launched Chandrayaan-3 onboard the LVM3 M4 rocket from Sriharikota Space Center on July 14, 2022. Over the following months, the spacecraft underwent several orbital maneuvers to raise its orbit around Earth before the trans-lunar injection that placed it on a trajectory towards the Moon. On August 19, Chandrayaan-3 soft landed its lander module near the Moon's south pole, from where a rover rolled onto the lunar surface, making India the fourth nation to soft land on the Moon.
