Wednesday, November 05, 2008:  Chandrayaan-1, India's first unmanned lunar spacecraft, has entered the Lunar Transfer Trajectory with an apogee (farthest point to Earth) of about 380,000 km. The fifth and final orbit raising manoeuvre of Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft was successfully carried out on Tuesday morning at 04:56 am IST.
During this manoeuvre, the spacecraft’s 440 Newton liquid engine was fired for about two and a half minutes. ISRO said the health of the spacecraft is being continuously monitored from the Spacecraft Control Centre at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) in Bengaluru with support from Indian Deep Space Network (IDSN) antennas at Byalalu.

Since its launch on 22 October 2008 by PSLV-C11, all systems on board Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft are performing normally. Chandrayaan-1 will approach the Moon on 8 November 2008 and the spacecraft’s liquid engine will be fired again to insert the spacecraft into lunar orbit.
