Chandraayan-2, currently orbiting the moon, has performed the third lunar-bound orbit manoeuvre for the spacecraft, ISRO said on Wednesday. It will explore a region of the moon where no mission has ever set foot.

"The manoeuvre was performed successfully today (Wednesday) beginning at 9.04 hours IST, using the on-board propulsion system. The duration of the exercise was 1,190 seconds (19.84 minutes)," a statement by the space agency read.

"The next lunar-bound orbit manoeuvre is scheduled on August 30 between 6-7 pm IST," the statement added.

The mission would carry out a soft landing on the moon on September 7.
