The Chandrayaan-3 mission's second orbit-raising maneuver has been successfully executed, as reported in the live updates.

The orbit-raising maneuver is a critical operation that propels the spacecraft closer to its intended lunar destination.

The specific technique used in the second maneuver is the Earth-bound apogee firing, which leverages gravitational forces to ascend the spacecraft to higher altitudes.

The successful execution of the Earth-bound apogee firing marks a significant milestone in the Chandrayaan-3 mission.
