Aug 14, 2019 Chandrayaan-2 successfully enters Lunar Transfer Trajectory The final orbit raising manoeuvre of Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft was successfully carried out today (August 14, 2019) at 02:21 am IST. During this maneuver, the spacecraft's liquid engine was fired for about 1203 seconds...

August 6, 2019 Fifth earth bound orbit raising maneuver for Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft has been performed successfully today (August 6, 2019) at 1504 hrs (IST) as planned, using the onboard propulsion system for a firing duration of 1041 seconds. The orbit achieved is 276 x 142975 km. All...

August 2, 2019 Fourth earth bound orbit raising maneuver for Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft has been performed successfully today (August 2, 2019) at 1527 hrs (IST) as planned, using the onboard propulsion system for a firing duration of 646 seconds. The orbit achieved is 277 x 89472 km. All...

Pakistan is one of the farthest neighbouring countries from Chinese manufacturing hubs. Distance isn't a factor in relocation anyway.

Nice blackboard. It's not too shabby for the time though.

July 29, 2019 Third earth bound orbit raising maneuver for Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft has been performed successfully today (July 29, 2019) at 1512 hrs (IST) as planned, using the onboard propulsion system for a firing duration of 989 seconds. The orbit achieved is 276 x 71792 km. All spacecraft...

Oh come on. For the last few years, all you've seen from LM and the USA is the desperate media/diplomatic push for selling F16 to India. To an extent that we are fed up and fatigued. This doesn't call for an India-centric approach when it's sold to India's primary adversary? Since this is...

I very much agree that Feb 27 was indeed an eye opener for LM and the Americans. It blew the last bit of their hopes that India would buy the F16. So this news can be legit.

July 26, 2019 Second earth bound orbit raising maneuver for Chandryaan-2 spacecraft has been performed successfully today (July 26, 2019) at 0108 hrs (IST) as planned, using the onboard propulsion system for a firing duration of 883 seconds. The orbit achieved is 251 x 54829 km. All spacecraft...

It may be noted that the orbit achieved after every maneuver and the orbit planned for the next maneuver depends on the system performance during each maneuver. Optimised Mission Plan after first earth bound orbit raising manoeuvre:

Jul 24, 2019 Mission Plan of Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft GSLV MKIII M1 has successfully placed Chandrayaan – 2 spcecraft into a highly elliptical orbit of 170 x 45475 km on July 22, 2019. Further major activities include Earth bound maneuvers, Trans Lunar Insertion, Lunar bound maneuvers, Vikram...

We're cooperating with Russia and Ukraine for the Unified Launch Vehicle propulsion. Don't take such reports verbatim.
