The first trajectory correction manoeuvre will be carried out on India first interplanetary mission, the Mars Orbiter on 11th December, 2013. The Mars orbiter is traveling in the intended trajectory, but ISRO has planned four trajectory corrections to fine tune it so as to keep it in the correct track. The first trajectory correction manouvre will be carried out today i.e. 11th Dec., 2013. The second correction is expected to be done in April, 2014 and then the third in September, 2014.
As per the latest news, the Mars Orbiter Mission is cruising with a velocity of about 32.8 Kms per second. The propulsion system of MoM will be using Monomthyl Hydrazine as fuel and dinotrogen tetroxide as oxidizer. The targeted mission life of Mars Orbiter Mission is about 6 months after Mars Orbit insertion.
