The fifth orbit raising manuovre of Mars Orbiter Spacecraft started at 01;27 hrs on 16th November, 2013. The on-board liquid apogee motor was burned for 243.5 seconds and now the spacecraft apogee was changed from 118642 Kms to 192874 Kms.
The third orbit raising activity was completed on 9th November, 2013. ( 02:10L 43 Hrs IST for 707 seconds). The change in Apogee during this activity was from 40186 Kms to 71636 Kms.
The fourth orbit raising activity was completed on 11th November, 2013. The apogee of Mars orbiter Spacecraft was raised from 71,636 Kms to 78,276 Kms by giving an incremental velocity of 35 meters / seconds ( as against 130 m/s originally planned to raise apogee to about 1,00,000 Kms).
