ISRO Chairman briefs media after successful Lunar Orbit Insertion of Chandrayaan-2. After the Chandrayaan-2's insertion into the lunar orbit, ISRO will carry out four more orbit maneuvers (August 21, 28, 30 and September 1) to enter it into its final orbit passing over lunar poles at a distance of about 100 km from the Moon's surface. It is expected to land on Moon's south pole on September 7.

"Chandrayaan-2 mission crossed a major milestone today, the precise lunar orbit insertion maneuver was carried out at 9 am for about 30 minutes and Chandrayaan 2 was precisely inserted in the defined orbit," said ISRO chief K Sivan.

Talking about the execution of the mission Sivan said that the success rate of soft landings is only 37%. But we are confident about our landing mission. We have done everything humanly possible.

On September 7, the Vikram Lander will make a soft landing on the Moon at 1:55 AM.

Earlier today, Chandrayaan-2 successfully completed Lunar Orbit Insertion (LOI) manoeuvre&nbsp;at 9:02am. With this, Chandrayaan-2 has&nbsp;successfully inserted into the moon's orbit.

ISRO also informed that all the systems of Chandrayaan-2 are healthy.The next Lunar bound manoeuvre is scheduled on August 21.

On July 22,&nbsp;India had launched a rocket into space&nbsp;in a bid to perform a soft landing of a rover on the moon, the country's most ambitious mission which cements its position as a leading low-cost space power.

The Rs 978 crore ($137 million) mission, if successful, will enable India to carry out studies on the presence of water on the south pole of the moon. Only the United States, Russia and China have been on the moon.

Chandrayaan-2 headed onwards on its path to the moon after the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) early Wednesday successfully carried out a crucial process to manoeuvre India's second lunar probe out of the earth's orbit.&nbsp;

The space agency said as planned it carried out the manoeuvre called Trans Lunar Insertion (TLI) at 2.21 am today.&nbsp;

"The final orbit raising manoeuvre of Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft was successfully carried out today at 02:21 am IST. During this manoeuvre, the spacecraft`s liquid engine was fired for about 1203 seconds. With this, Chandrayaan-2 entered the Lunar Transfer Trajectory," ISRO said in a statement.

The Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft is expected to reach the moon's orbit on August 20The spacecraft's liquid engine will be fired again to insert the spacecraft into a lunar orbit.

"Following this, there will be further four-orbit manoeuvres to make the spacecraft enter into its final orbit passing over the lunar poles at a distance of about 100 km from the Moon`s surface," the space agency said.&nbsp;

On September 7, the spacecraft's lander, Vikram, is expected to soft-land on the south pole of the moon and unleash the rover to explore the surface.

"The health of the spacecraft is being continuously monitored from the Mission Operations Complex (MOX) at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) in Bengaluru with support from Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN) antennas at Byalalu, near Bengaluru," ISRO said.&nbsp;

Since its launch by GSLV MkIII-M1 vehicle, all systems onboard Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft are performing normal, the space agency said.

Chandrayaan-2: What Lander 'Vikram' & Rover 'Pragyan' plan to find on the Moon

Chandrayaan-2 is Indian to the core and it's purely Indian in heart and spirit, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said as he addressed his second 'Mann ki Baat' to the nation in his second term as prime minister.

It's&nbsp;totally ''swadeshi'' and ''homegrown'' mission, Modi said.

''We are now eagerly waiting for September when Lander Vikram and Rover Pragyan will land on the lunar surface, the PM said.

The successful launch of Chandrayaan-2 by our scientists despite the early setback is unprecedented, he added.

''My dear countrymen, I strongly believe that you would have felt immensely proud of India’s achievement beyond the skies in outer space. The successful launch of Chandrayaan-2 by our scientists despite the early setback is unprecedented,'' he said.

PM congratulated the Meghalaya government for becoming the first state in the country to have formulated its own water-policy.&nbsp;

In Haryana, crops that require meagre water are being encouraged, Modi said and added, farmers thus are saved from suffering losses.&nbsp;

Modi also urged the people to use various fairs being held during the festive season to spread the message of water conservation.&nbsp;

The prime minister also assured of all help to those affected by floods. &nbsp;

''Heavy rains in different parts of the country has resulted in people suffering due to floods. I assure all those affected by floods, that Centre is working with state governments at lightning speed to provide relief,'' he said.
