The Spacecraft is within 500 KM from the moon and it is expected to reach Moon on 8th November.
Yesterday scientists were able to carry out orbit raising maneuver of the chandrayaan-1 space craft successfully by burning 440 Newton liquid engine for about two and a half minutes to enter the Lunar Transfer Trajectory with an apogee (farthest point to Earth) of about 380,000 km. With this we reach the fifth and final orbit of Chandrayaan-1 Mission.
