Federal Space Agency of Russia Activity of Russian FEDERAL SPACE AGENCY OF RUSSIA ACTIVITY OF RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON SPACE DEBRIS PROBLEM 44-th session of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee of the UN Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPOUS) Vienna - February, 2007 1 FEDERAL SPACE AGENCY OF RUSSIA • Federal Space Agency of Russia continues consecutive activity in the field of space debris problems. This work concerns the safety of spacecraft and International Space Station, the latest one in a especial meaning. • The activity on debris mitigation is being carried out within the framework of Russian National Legislation, taking into account the dynamics of similar measures and practices of other space-faring nations. • Since 2000 designers and operators of spacecraft and orbital stages are in charge to follow the requirements of Federal Space Agency Standard "Space Technology Items. General Requirements for Mitigation of Space Debris Population" in all projects of space vehicles being again developed. 2 FEDERAL SPACE AGENCY OF RUSSIA DYNAMICS OF LAUNCHES IN RUSSIA AND IN OTHER STATES AND ORGANIZATIONS 3 FEDERAL SPACE AGENCY OF RUSSIA Totally 25 launches of various purposes were realized by Russia in 2006 The launchers used in 2006 are listed in the table. / Launcher Type Apogee Motor Number of Type of Orbit Launchings 1 “Proton-K" “DM" 2 Circular 2 “Proton-M" “Briz-M" 3 + 1*) MEO 3 “Soyuz-U” 6 Circular 4 "Soyuz-FG" " Fregat" 2 Circular 5 "Soyuz-2 (1a)" " Fregat" 2 Circular 6 "Soyuz-2 (1b)" " Fregat" 1 Circular 7 " Molniya-M" 1 Highly elliptic orbit 8 “Tsiklon-2" 1 Circular 9 " Kosmos-3M" 1 Circular 10 “Start-1" 1 Circular 11 " Dnepr" 1 + 1**) Circular 12 " Shtil" 1 Circular 13 " Rokot " “Briz-" 1 Circular Total: 25 *) – Emergency on February 28, 2006 **) – Emergency on July 28, 2006 4 FEDERAL SPACE AGENCY OF RUSSIA THE NET OF OPTICAL MEANS OF RUSSIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES AND THE OTHER OBSERVATORIES FOR OBSERVATION OF SPACECRAFT AND SPACE DEBRIS IN GEOSTATIONARY REGION Scientific optical network • The net of optical means consists of 12 observatories from Bolivia to Ussuriysk. • Approximately 340º of geostationary ring could be observed. • 161 new faint objects were found in GEO region and this number is equal to about 14.7% from total number of all cataloged geostationary objects. 5 FEDERAL SPACE AGENCY OF RUSSIA DANGEROUS CONJUNCTIONS WERE CALCULATED IN GEO REGION DURING 2006 Spacecraft Dangerous object Distance of Date of Relative approach, event velocity, km m / s 2003-053 Yamal-202 2005-010F SL-12 5,3 30.06.06 70 1996-034A Gorizont 32 1991-079A Cosmos - 6,2 07.05. 190 2172 1993-069A Gorizont 28 2000-013A Express 2A 7,6 04.01.06 420 2000-029A Gorizont 33 1991-064A Cosmos - 7,9 17.08.06 350 2155 2005-010A Express AM-2 1982-044A Cosmos - 8,5 11.04.06 780 1366 2004-015A Express AM-11 1990-112A Raduga 26 9,1 07.06.06 520 194 events were detected with approaches of cataloged GEO objects to Russian operational S/C up to distance less than 50 km. 10 events were detected with approaches up to distances less than 10 km that is comparable with errors of orbital parameters calculations. 6 FEDERAL SPACE AGENCY OF RUSSIA DISPOSAL OF THE EMERGENCY S/C “EXPRESS AM-11” FROM GEO Long term pe ri ge e e volutio n of th e disp os ed • The emergency of “Express AM-11” 11 10 , ! “Express AM-11” took place on 29.03.2006. 300 • The prospective reason was a 290 depressurization of a contour of the 280 heat-carrier as a result of impact 270 with mechanical object. 260 • Disposal of the emergency S/C from 250 the protected GEO region was 240 performed since 30.03.2006 till 230 7.04.2006. 24.3.06 6.8.07 18.12.08 2.5.10 14.9.11 26.1.13 10.6.14 23.10.15 • 10 correction bursts was done totally.

    February 5, 2018 Industry Brief Chris Quilty [email protected] January 2018 +1 (727)-828-7085 Austin Moeller Satellite & Space Monthly Review [email protected] +1 (727)-828-7601 January 11, 2018: Air force to utilize more smallsats for weather DMSP F19 Readying for Launch observation. Citing growing budget constraints, the US Air Force announced that is considering using small satellites in combination with next-gen software rather than procuring traditional multibillion-dollar, cost-plus spacecraft to replace/replenish its Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). Despite awarding a $94 million contract to Ball Aerospace in November to design the Weather System Follow-on Microwave (WSF-M) satellite, the Air Force plans to begin launching small satellites equipped with infrared imaging and electro-optical instruments to monitor battlefield weather starting in 2021-2022. The Air Force is also considering augmenting their current capabilities with inactive NOAA GOES satellites in the near-term. These considerations parallel recent comments by USSTRATCOM commander Gen. John Hyten, who has repeatedly stated that the Air Force currently spends too much time and money developing large, high- cost satellites, and needs to invest in more small satellites for strategic Source: Lockheed Martin and budgetary reasons. Conclusion: Smallsats ready for a DoD growth spurt? With growing evidence of Russian/Chinese anti- satellite technology demonstrations, the Pentagon is becoming increasingly reluctant to spend billions of dollars on monolithic “Battlestar Galactica” satellite systems that place too many eggs in one basket. While not as robust or technologically-capable as high-end spacecraft built by traditional contractor, such as Lockheed Martin, small satellites are orders-of-magnitude less expensive to build, launch, and maintain.

  • Building and Maintaining the International Space Station (ISS)
    / Building and maintaining the International Space Station (ISS) is a very complex task. An international fleet of space vehicles launches ISS components; rotates crews; provides logistical support; and replenishes propellant, items for science experi- ments, and other necessary supplies and equipment. The Space Shuttle must be used to deliver most ISS modules and major components. All of these important deliveries sustain a constant supply line that is crucial to the development and maintenance of the International Space Station. The fleet is also responsible for returning experiment results to Earth and for removing trash and waste from the ISS. Currently, transport vehicles are launched from two sites on transportation logistics Earth. In the future, the number of launch sites will increase to four or more. Future plans also include new commercial trans- ports that will take over the role of U.S. ISS logistical support.
