Critical Milestone of Chandrayaan 2 – Where to get the Live Updates
While today's attempt won't be streamed live, you can follow live updates on the mission on dedicated ISRO's website Or Twitter page.
Chandrayaan 2, the second moon mission from our country is expected to enter the moon's orbit today at 11 AM. One of the critical milestones in the mission before the spacecraft attempts to soft-land on the moon's surface on 7 September.
At present the Chandrayaan 2 is completing its lunar transfer phase, which will bring the spacecraft close enough to the moon that it can transition into the moon's orbit using power from its thrusters. It will break away from the Earth's gravitational pull and fall into the moon's gravity with this manoeuver.
Chandrayaan 2 is expected to make its long-awaited powered descent and landing on 7 September in what the ISRO Chief describes as '15 minutes of terror'.

Once the lunar capture, or entry of the spacecraft into lunar orbit, is complete, the two-week (lunar-bound) phase of the mission will begin. This is an integral part of the orbiter's mission: surveilling its year-long home for the first time, ensuring that no damage was caused to its instruments on the journey thus far, and a thorough examination of the Vikram lander's landing site at the moon's South Polar region.
