Chandrayaan-3 was launched on 14 July 2023, at 2:35 pm IST as scheduled, from Satish Dhawan Space Centre Second Launch Pad in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, India. The spacecraft entered lunar orbit on 5 August 2023, with an expected landing near the lunar South Pole on 23 August.

On 5 August, ISRO performed a lunar-orbit insertion (LOI), successfully placing the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft into orbit around the Moon. The LOI operation was carried out from the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Network (ISTRAC) located in Bengaluru.

On 17 August, after a series of lunar-bound maneuvers, the Vikram lander separated from the propulsion module to begin the last phase of the mission.

The lander and rover were launched aboard the LVM3-M4 rocket in the afternoon of 14 July 2023, at 2:35 pm IST to a EPO perigee of 170 km (106 mi) and an apogee of 36,500 km (22,680 mi). This was followed by a series of orbit-raising operations (using an on-board LAM and chemical thrusters) that placed them in a trans-lunar injection orbit.
