The Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is set to undertake its fifth and final Earth-bound orbit-raising manoeuvre today, preparing itself for lunar insertion. It will then transition to an Earth-to-Moon trajectory, ultimately being drawn into lunar orbit by the Moon's gravity.

Speaking about the mission, space minister Jitendra Singh said on Monday, “Chandrayaan-3 will enter the next (Earth) orbit tomorrow. Soon, it will enter the Moon's orbit. By the first week of August, Chandrayaan-3 would have completed 5-6 circles of the Moon and entered the innermost circle. Then it will take another 10 days to locate the exact spot where it has to land in the south pole area of the Moon."
