With just 11 days to go for the moon landing of Chandrayaan 2 mission, the Indian Space Research Organisation on Wednesday said it has successfully performed the third lunar-bound orbit manoeuvre for the spacecraft. All spacecraft parameters were normal, the city-headquartered space agency said after the manoeuvre on the spacecraft that is currently in the lunar orbit for its rendezvous with the Moon.
“Third Lunar bound orbit manoeuvre for Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft was performed successfully today (August 28, 2019) beginning at 0904 hrs IST, using the onboard propulsion system. The duration of the maneuver was 1190 seconds. The orbit achieved is 179 km x 1412 km,” ISRO said in an update.
“All spacecraft parameters are normal. The next Lunar bound orbit maneuver is scheduled on August 30, 2019 between 1800 - 1900 hrs IST,” it said.
