- It is now 114 km from the Moon’s surface at its nearest and 18,072 km at the farthest.
- Soon it will place itself in a circular orbit of 100 km × 100 km around the Moon.
- Then Lander (Vikram) and Rover (Pragyaan) modules will detach themselves from here and descend into lower orbits before finally making a landing on September 7.
