NEW DELHI, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- The final and fifth lunar bound orbit maneuver for India's second moon mission Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft was performed successfully on Sunday, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

ISRO said in a statement that, "The final and fifth Lunar bound orbit maneuver for Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft was performed successfully today (Sept. 1) beginning at 1821 IST as planned, using the onboard propulsion system. The duration of the maneuver was 52 seconds. The orbit achieved is 119 km x 127 km."

All spacecraft parameters are normal, it said.
