Impact Schedule: 01 September 2006
1 September 2006
Revised impact predictions have been generated based on the SMART-1 orbit determination from 1 September 2006.The calculations include a scheduled manoeuvre in the night of 1/2 September to raise the perilune by 600 m in order to maximise the chance to impact at the nominal perilune.
