Composed of powdered zinc metal and powdered sulfur ( oxidizer ), ZS or " micrograin " is another pressed propellant that does not find any practical application outside of specialized amateur rocketry circles due to its poor performance ( as most ZS burns outside the combustion chamber ) and incredibly fast linear burn rates on the order of 2 m / s.

This particular TLI burn lasted approximately 350 seconds, providing 3. 05 to 3. 25 km / s ( 10, 000 to 10, 600 ft / s ) of delta-v, at which point the spacecraft was traveling at approximately 10. 4 km / s ( 34150 ft / s ) relative to the Earth.

After reaching orbit, the crew spent time adapting themselves to the zero-gravity environment and preparing the spacecraft for Trans Lunar Injection, the burn of the third stage rocket that would propel them to the Moon.

At this point, during tests of the CSM's steerable rocket engine in preparation for the burn to modify the craft's orbit, a malfunction occurred in the engine's backup system.

The initial burn put the spacecraft into an Earth parking orbit and the second burn from 15: 02: 53 to 15: 04: 28 injected the craft into a Mars transfer orbit.

Air-breathing designs typically fly at supersonic or hypersonic speeds, and usually include a rocket engine for the final burn for orbit.

It is expected to remain in orbit until approimately 2022, when the spacecraft is projected to enter the Martian atmosphere and either burn up or crash to the planet's surface.

The original mission plan called for the four burns to be followed by an orbit insertion burn on January 10, 1999, but the abort of the first burn and loss of communication made this impossible.

The orbit would then intersect the atmosphere and burn up.

Meanwhile, the orbiter engine performed a burn to put the spacecraft into a 1380 x 24, 940 km, 18 hour orbit about Mars with an inclination of 48. 9 degrees.

The large TLI burn, usually performed by a chemical rocket engine, increases the spacecraft's velocity, changing its orbit from a circular low Earth orbit to a highly eccentric orbit.

If the engine misfired or the burn was not completed, the probes would be left in Earth orbit and given a Kosmos designation.
