Update: KAGUYA (SELENE) Result of the Lunar Orbit Adjustment Maneuver (LOI3), October 8 (PDF) (via Kaguya Topics)

Quote:
Apocynthion altitude 2,399 km
Pericynthion altitude 115 km
Period 4 hours 5 minutes
These burns come so fast now that the orbit period is fairly small, and getting smaller.

According to the Planetary Society Weblog entry (Oct. 4), major upcoming events are:
  • Relay Satellite Release: October 9, 00:46:01 JST [Oct 8, 15:46:01 UTC; 11:46:01 EDT; 08:46:01 PDT]
  • VRAD Satellite Release: October 14, 05:37:01 JST [Oct 13, 20:37:01 UTC; 16:37:01 EDT; 13:37:01 PDT]
  • Science observations begin: October 21, 10:27:01 JST [01:27:01 UTC; Oct 20, 21:27:01 EDT; 18:27:01 PDT]

About 11-1/2 hours to Relay Satellite release.
