The Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI, President: Lee Sang-Ryul) announced that the second Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM) was conducted successfully on September 2 at 17:00.
The second TCM is an essential process to maximize the fuel efficiency and meet the schedule to reach the moon on time.
KARI initially planned to confirm the final TCM outcome at 17:00 September 4, after about 48 hours of trajectory information assessment, but the actual confirmation time was 18:00 September 3, because the assessment only took 25 hours. The faster confirmation was possible thanks to the prior experience of the first TCM and the fact that the trajectory information came out almost identical to the forecast.
