Trim angle (in yaw mainly) allow good gimbals of the OMS. Resultant trust forces will be parallels to the X bodys axis,containing the Center of Gravity (for a 2 engines burn)

Then, we have to decide in item 10 the time of the burn. We gonna do it at next apogee, 20 mn from now (TTA)
Then, we have to decide in item 10 the time of the burn. We gonna do it at next apogee, 20 mn from now in this case (TTA)
MET is now 34mn06sec, so we want the ignition to be at 20+34=54 mn into the mission.
 
For that, '''item 10+00+00+54+00 EXE'''

Then, how much thrust will we add? We want to raise the orbit to a new apogee of 150 Nm ( ''Heads up: 2ft/sec equal in a raise of 1Nm of the orbit height'')
