The orbital ahead for the final countdown for a launch just parameters at that point were: two days later within a 90-minute launch Perigee: 1027 km, compared with the window between 13:00 to 14:30 Kourou time. 1028 ± 3 km predicted The launcher’s roll-out from the Final Assembly Apogee: 35 863 km, compared with the Building to the Launch Zone was therefore 35 898 ± 200 km predicted scheduled for Tuesday 20 October at 09:30 Inclination: 6.999 deg, compared with the Kourou time. 6.998 ± 0.05 deg predicted. On 21 October, Europe reconfirmed its lead in providing space Speaking in Kourou immediately after the flight, transportation systems for the 21st Century. Ariane-5, on its third Fredrik Engström, ESA’s Director of Launchers qualification flight, left no doubts as to its ability to deliver payloads and the Ariane-503 Flight Director, confirmed reliably and accurately to Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). The new that: “The third Ariane-5 flight has been a heavy-lift launcher lifted off in glorious sunshine from the Guiana complete success. It qualifies Europe’s new Space Centre, Europe’s spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, at heavy-lift launcher and vindicates the 13:37:21 local time (16:37:21 UT). technological options chosen by the European Space Agency.” This third Ariane-5 test flight was intended ESA’s Director -

Space Astronomy in the 90S
Space Astronomy in the 90s Jonathan McDowell April 26, 1995 1 Why Space Astronomy? • SHARPER PICTURES (Spatial Resolution) The Earth’s atmosphere messes up the light coming in (stars twinkle, etc). • TECHNICOLOR (X-ray, infrared, etc) The atmosphere also absorbs light of different wavelengths (col- ors) outside the visible range. X-ray astronomy is impossible from the Earth’s surface. 2 What are the differences between satellite instruments? • Focussing optics or bare detectors • Wavelength or energy range - IR, UV, etc. Different technology used for different wavebands. • Spatial Resolution (how sharp a picture?) • Spatial Field of View (how large a piece of sky?) • Spectral Resolution (can it tell photons of different energies apart?) • Spectral Field of View (bandwidth) • Sensitivity • Pointing Accuracy • Lifetime • Orbit (hence operating efficiency, background, etc.) • Scan or Point What are the differences between satellites? • Spinning or 3-axis pointing (older satellites spun around a fixed axis, precession let them eventually see different parts of the sky) • Fixed or movable solar arrays (fixed arrays mean the spacecraft has to point near the plane perpendicular to the solar-satellite vector) 3 • Low or high orbit (low orbit has higher radiation, atmospheric drag, and more Earth occultation; high orbit has slower preces- sion and no refurbishment opportunity) • Propulsion to raise orbit? • Other consumables (proportional counter gas, attitude control gas, liquid helium coolant) 4 What are the differences in operation? • PI mission vs. GO mission PI = Principal Investigator. One of the people responsible for building the satellite. Nowadays often referred to as IPIs (In- strument PIs). GO = Guest Observer. Someone who just want to use the satel- lite. -

6. the INTELSAT 17 Satellite
TWO COMMUNICATIONS SATELLITES READY FOR LAUNCH Arianespace will orbit two communications satellite on its fifth launch of the year: INTELSAT 17 for the international satellite operator Intelsat, and HYLAS 1 for the European operator Avanti Communications. The choice of Arianespace by leading space communications operators and manufacturers is clear international recognition of the company’s excellence in launch services. Based on its proven reliability and availability, Arianespace continues to confirm its position as the world’s benchmark launch system. Ariane 5 is the only commercial satellite launcher now on the market capable of simultaneously launching two payloads. Arianespace and Intelsat have built up a long-standing relationship based on mutual trust. Since 1983, Arianespace has launched 48 satellites for Intelsat. Positioned at 66 degrees East, INTELSAT 17 will deliver a wide range of communication services for Europe, the Middle East, Russia and Asia. Built by Space Systems/Loral of the United States, this powerful satellite will weigh 5,540 kg at launch. It will also enable Intelsat to expand its successful Asian video distrubution neighborhood. INTELSAT 17 will replace INTELSAT 702. HYLAS 1 is Avanti Communications’ first satellite. A new European satellite operator, Avanti Communications also chose Arianespace to orbit its HYLAS 2 satellite, scheduled for launch in the first half of 2012. HYLAS 1 was built by an industrial consortium formed by EADS Astrium and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), using a I-2K platform. Fitted with Ka-band and Ku-band transponders, the satellite will be positioned at 33.5 degrees West, and will be the first European satellite to offer high-speed broadband services across all of Europe. -

As part or the FY92 Budget approval, Congress, in its wisdom, directed NASA to investigate the Russian space hardware and determine its feasibility for use in the U.S. space program. At the invitation of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and the Russian firm NPO Energia, NASA made a reconnaissance visit to NPO Energia to open discussions concerning Russian space hardware. -

Arnaldi et al.: Human Behavior During Spaceflight - Evidence From an Analog Environment Introduction Four years after the launch of Sputnik, the world’s first artificial satellite, Yuri Gagarin became the first human to reach space (National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA], 2011a). The United States soon followed on the path of manned space exploration with Project Mercury. Although this program began with suborbital flights, manned spacecraft were subsequently launched into orbit around the Earth (NASA, 2012). With President Kennedy setting the goal of landing a man on the moon, NASA focused on short-duration orbital flights as a stepping-stone to lunar missions. -
