Third stage ignition for transfer to Lunar transfer orbit. The third stage should burn for 2.5 minutes.
Cheers!

According to CCTV interviews Chang'e-2 is now under the control of the Beijing Space Center. Orbital apogee is about 300,000 km. Up to three possible orbital trajectory corrections may occur. International cooperation with ESA ground station is important for tracking. Discussion of China building and testing deep space tracking network.
Cheers!
