DATE STATUS

5 NOV 2013 Mars Orbiter Mission(Mangalyaan) Spacecraft launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota. It take-off by using Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle with C25 rocket.

7 NOV 2013 On the third day, the Mars Orbiter Spacecraft is given its first orbit-raising manoeuvre. The 440 Newton Liquid Engine of the spacecraft was fired for 416 seconds to raise the spacecraft apogee(farthest point to Earth) to 28,825km.

8 NOV 2013 On the next day, the apogee changes from 28,814km to 40,186km with the help of second orbit raising manoeuvre that was fired for 570.6 seconds.

9 NOV 2013 The third orbit-raising manoeuvre is given for a period of 707 seconds that changes the apogee from 40,186km to 71,636km.

11 NOV 2013 The fourth orbit-raising manoeuvre is given that raised the apogee from 71,623 km to 78,276 km

12 NOV 2013 The fourth additional orbit-raising manoeuvre is given with a burn time of 303.8 second that changes apogee from 78,276km to 1,18,642km.

16 NOV 2013 The fifth orbit-raising manoeuvre is given with a burn time of 243.5 seconds that changes in Apogee from 1,18,642km to 1,92,874km.

1 DEC 2013 To put it into right orientation Trans Mars Injection (TMI) operation started and completed successfully.

2 DEC 2013 The total distance traveled by spacecraft on 2 DEC 2013 till 17:00 hrs is 5,36,000km which is more than the Moon’s orbit around Earth.

4 DEC 2013 Spacecraft crosses the Sphere of Influence (SOI) of Earth by traveling a distance of 9,25,000 km.

11 DEC 2013 The first Trajectory Correction Manoeuvre (TCM) of Spacecraft is done by firing the 22 Newton Thrusters for a time of 40.5 seconds when the spacecraft is traveling at a distance of about 29 lakh (2.9 million) km away from Earth.

11 FEB 2014 It is the 100th traveling day of Mars Orbiter Mission Spacecraft .

09 APR 2014 Mars Orbiter Mission Spacecraft travel half of its journey

12 JUN 2014 The Second Trajectory Correction Manoeuvre (TCM) of Spacecraft is done by performing a firing of 22 Newton thrusters for a time period of 16 seconds. The spacecraft has traveled a distance of 466 million km till 12 JUNE 2014.

15 SEPT 2014 Time-tagged commands are given to perform Mars Orbit Insertion (MOI).

17 SEPT 2014 The commands are uploaded for for Fourth Trajectory Correction Manoeuve

22 SEPT 2014 Test Firing of the Main Liquid Engine of Spacecraft is Successful
