We drop it onto the moon, and the giant moon gnomes throw it into orbit.

By launching it from Earth with an initial velocity of 25,000 mph toward the Moon, but we aim just a little to once side of the Moon. Then, at the point of closest approach, we fire the rocket again to reduce the speed to that required for Lunar orbit.

G'day Rachit,
Thank you for your question.
Do you mean orbiting the moon or in the same orbit path around the earth as the moon is?
In general, we place an object in orbit by launching it with sufficient velocity to leave the earth but not at escape velocity. You would need to calculate how much velocity you need to put it in the orbit space that you need.
Of course, this calculation is rocket science. :>)
I have attached sources for your reference.
Regards

The way you do that is to spend government money on numerous attempts only to find it pointless in the end.
