The EXOSAT spacecraft, designed, developed, qualified, and prepared for launch by the European Space Agency (ESA), was successfully launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Delta launch vehicle in May 1983* EXOSAT was originally scheduled for launch on the European Ariane rocket, but due to unforeseen schedule realignments, ESA, in cooperation with NASA, selected the Delta for this mission in February 1983. -
International Cooperation and Competition in Civilian Space Activities
International Cooperation and Competition in Civilian Space Activities June 1985 NTIS order #PB87-136842 Recommended Citation: International Cooperation and Competition in Civilian Space Activities (Washington, DC: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, OTA-ISC-239, July 1985). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 84-601087 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 Foreword The nature of global space activities has changed radically over the last decade. No longer are the United States and the Soviet Union the only countries capable of placing satellites into Earth orbit or sending interplanetary probes into deep space. Europe and Japan now have substantial space programs and have developed commercially competitive space systems. Several newly industrialized countries are well along in building their own space programs. In addition, the U.S. private sector has recently expanded its interest and investment in space technology. As this report makes clear, these changes have strong policy implications for the U.S. Government space program and for the U.S. private sector. This report presents the major findings of an assessment requested by the House Committee on Science and Technology and the Joint Economic Committee, on inter- national cooperation and competition in civilian space activities. The United States still enjoys a strong competitive position in most space technologies and in space science. There continues to be broad support for a long-term public commitment to civilian space activities. But precisely because of our achievements—and those of other space-far- ing nations—the number of opportunities (and associated costs) that lie before us re- quire a thoughtful articulation of space goals and objectives. -

Toward that end, information and analyses are first presented with respect to the context and policy environment for the programs, including such issues as program structure, funding patterns, overall program goals, and the more general trends in each nation regard- ing high technology policies. -

CLASSIFICATION of GEOSYNCHRONOUS OBJECTS ISSUE 13 Produced with the DISCOS Database
EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY EUROPEAN SPACE OPERATIONS CENTRE GROUND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Space Debris Office GEN-DB-LOG-00074-OPS-GR CLASSIFICATION OF GEOSYNCHRONOUS OBJECTS ISSUE 13 by T. Flohrer, R. Choc, and B. Bastida Produced with the DISCOS Database February 2011 ESOC Robert-Bosch-Str. 5, 64293 Darmstadt, Germany 3 Abstract This is a status report on geosynchronous objects as of the end of 2010. Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring (here defined as orbits with mean motion between 0.9 and 1.1 revolutions per day, eccentricity smaller than 0.2 and inclination below 30 deg) is analysed. From 1202 objects for which orbital data are available, 397 are controlled inside their longitude slots, 622 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 172 are in a libration orbit and 11 whose status could not be determined. Fur- thermore, there are 72 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 66 have not been catalogued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1274. During 2010 at least sixteen spacecraft reached end-of-life. Eleven of them were reorbited following the IADC recommendations, of which one spacecraft was reorbited with a perigee of 241 km - it is not yet clear if it will enter the 200-km protected zone around GEO or not -, four spacecraft were reorbited too low and at least one spacecraft did not or could not make any reorbiting manouevre at all and is now librating inside the geostationary ring. -
