ISRO’s Chandrayaan-1 is nearly 35,000 km off the original plan

Chandrayaan-1 reached the third orbit with an apogee of 1,65,000 km. But the orginal plan was to reach an apogee of nearly 2,00,000 km. It is thus about 35,000 km off the mark in its third orbit.

The fourth orbit should have an apogee of nearly 2,70,000 km. And that means Chandrayaan-1 has to be fired an extra 35,000 km tomorrow.

This is not an alarm situation, though. ISRO can correct it without much of a problem.
