The health of ISROs Mars Orbiter Mission Spacecraft is normal. In the fourth orbit raising operation conducted this morning, (02:06 Hrs IST) the apogee of MOM spacecraft was raised to 78,276 km against the targeted apogee of about one lakh km. This is because the incremental velocity imparted to the spacecraft was 35 m/s against the targeted 130 m/s. A supplementary orbit raising operation is planned at 05:00 hrs IST on November 12 to raise the apogee to nearly one lakh km. A detailed press note on this is available at the link below. isro.gov.in/pressrelease/scripts/pressreleasein.aspx?Nov11_2013
