I have a feeling that Isro MAY release some data this week on the sidelines of AERO INDIA 2009 in Bangalore. Also there was a meeting of all PIs recently on the occasion of 100 days of chandrayaan-1 mission to discuss and review the data. So if we are lucky we might see some releases.

Thanks Phil for your comments. The thing that I am convinced is that MIP has no lateral thrusters to correct the trajectory which would lead less impact target accuracy. Does anyone know about their probable impact elliptic?


The MIP is a spin stabilized probe. MIP does have three spin motors on the sides which would start once the MIP is released from the orbiter.

See page-18 of the above presentation.

First orbital reduction of chandrayaan-1 achieved.


http://isro.org/pressrelease/Nov10_2008.htm

This is the first of the five orbit reductions before chandrayaan-1
settles into 100 * 100 km final orbit. Considering that the MIP
is planned to be released on nov-15 that means we can expect
one orbit reduction everyday till nov-14.

On a side note November-14 is celebrated in India as children's day.

The link below has some details of the terrain mapping camera
onboard chandrayaan-1.
