Isro early on Tuesday completed the critical trans-lunar injection (TLI), a slingshot that has now put Chandrayaan-3 on a five-day journey to Moon. Now, the 2145-kg propulsion module, on top of which sits the landing module comprising Vikram (the lander) and Pragyan (the rover), will travel in a straight path to reach the lunar orbit.
