The PSLV rocket will lift the spacecraft into an orbit 800km x 70,000km around the Earth then From that point, the spacecraft will take an additional 21 days to arrive on Moon. But Chandrayaan-2 Mission is still in early stages and as there is no official announcement has been made by the ISRO so far. But after the official confirmation from TeamIndus now it seems we are going to hear something from ISRO very soon.
