Re: Chandrayan-1 mission discussion
Where do u c these numbers, pls? ISRO Chandrayaan-1 site says "last updated January 2007".
Also, what orbit is this? Already into a Hohman transfer orbit or something like that towards the moon, or is there some other step needed? When is it expected to reach the Moon to inject into lunar orbit?
