The burn has been completed - apparently it was successful but more details should appear soon. Fingers crossed...

@Mangalyaan1: Trans-Mars injection of #Mangalyaan has been completed successfully. Sounds promising. Only a few hundred million kilometres to go and then MOI. Simple  Good luck! |

Various articles put it at detecting greater than 10 parts per billion concentration, give or take.

The SAC Courier of January 2014 contains a discussion of the MCC, TIS and MSM instruments. Preliminary analysis of MSM data collected above the northern Sahara showed a standard error of less than 100 ppb.

The Indian spacecraft Mangalyaan on way to Mars is aproaching soon, now it is away less than 9 millions kilometers from Mars and it will be injected into Mars atmosphere on September 24. Up to now, everything goes well.
Mangalyaan on trak, no path correction in August |

Up to now, everything goes well. Mangalyaan on trak, no path correction in August Hopefully not injected into Mars' atmosphere, unless it aims to repeat the feat of Mars Climate Orbiter almost exactly 15 years ago: http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msp98/orbiter/ |

MOM had a successful trajectory correction on June 11, and is due to make another this coming Sunday 14 Sept.
The plan is for Mars orbit insertion on September 24, two days after Maven. India MOM updates MOM mission overview |

Apparently the Mid-course correction (MCC) planned for yesterday (14 Sept) was cancelled as being unnecessary due to accuracy of previous MCC.
ISRO is stating today that time-tagged commands to execute Mars Orbit Insertion (MOI) are uploading and verification is in progress. MOI is scheduled for Wed Sep 24, early morning IST (India Standard Time). |

The MCC (or TCM - Trajectory Correction Manoeuvre) number 4 planned for 14 Sept has been bumped to 22 Sept. It will also serve as a test firing of the main
engine for the Mars orbit insertion 2 days later. On its current trajectory, Mars arrival altitude is 723 km. TCM 4 will tweak it down to 515 km. Mars orbit insertion burn start times: India Standard Time : 24 Sept, 7.30am. UK summer time : 24 Sept, 3.00 am GMT / UTC: 24 Sept , 2.00am USA New York (daylight saving): 23 Sept, 10pm. |
