Answer:
Chandrayaan-2 to perform lunar orbit insertion today, and thereafter needs four more orbit manoeuvres before reaching the final orbit. In a significant milestone for India's Moon mission, ISRO will fire Chandrayaan-2's liquid engine on Tuesday to insert the spacecraft into a lunar orbit.
Explanation:
The four manoeuvres will make the spacecraft enter into its final orbit passing over the lunar poles at a distance of about 100 km from Moon's surface.
The next crucial stage after Tuesday's move will be on September 2 when Vikram, the lander will separate from the orbiter. This will be followed by two more orbit manoeuvres will be performed on the lander before the initiation of powered descent to make a soft landing on the lunar surface on September 7.
