Chandigarh, August 6

A day after Chandrayaan-3 was inserted in lunar orbit, it captured the first look of moon on Sunday.

“The Moon, as viewed by #Chandrayaan3 spacecraft during Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) on August 5, 2023,” it tweeted.

The next operation — reduction of orbit — will be done at 11 pm on Sunday, ISRO said.

Chandrayaan-3 was inserted in lunar orbit on Saturday.

“I am feeling lunar gravity”, was Chandrayaan-3’s message to ISRO after successfully entering Moon’s orbit.

According to ISRO, Chandrayaan-3 would attempt soft landing on the Moon’s surface on August 23.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
