    Chapter 18 REST-OF-WORLD (ROW) SATELLITE SYSTEMS For the longest time, space exploration was an exclusive club comprised of only two members, the United States and the Former Soviet Union. That has now changed due to a number of factors, among the more dominant being economics, advanced and improved technologies and national imperatives.

  • Classification of Geosynchronous Objects Issue 12
    EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY EUROPEAN SPACE OPERATIONS CENTRE GROUND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT Space Debris Office CLASSIFICATION OF GEOSYNCHRONOUS OBJECTS ISSUE 12 by R. Choc and R. Jehn Produced with the DISCOS Database February 2010 ESOC Robert-Bosch-Str. 5, 64293 Darmstadt, Germany 3 Abstract This is a status report on geosynchronous objects as of the end of 2009. 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 1161 objects for which orbital data are available, 391 are controlled inside their longitude slots, 594 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 169 are in a libration orbit and 7 whose status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 77 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 66 have not been catalogued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1238. During 2009 twenty-one spacecraft reached end-of-life. Eleven of them were reorbited following the IADC recommendations, one spacecraft was reorbited with a perigee of 225 km - it is not yet clear if it will enter the 200-km protected zone around GEO or not -, six spacecraft were reorbited too low and three spacecraft did not or could not make any reorbiting manouevre at all and are now librating inside the geostationary ring. If you detect any error or if you have any comment or question please contact R¨udiger Jehn European Space Operations Center Robert-Bosch-Str.

INTRODUCTION 1. By this Order, we authorize AfriSpace, Inc. (AfriSpace)1 to launch and operate the AfriStar-2 satellite in the geostationary-satellite orbit (GSO) at the 21° East Longitude (E.L.) orbital location. AfriStar-2 is controlled from the United States and is capable of providing Broadcasting-Satellite Service (sound) (BSS (sound)) to Africa and Europe on a non-common carrier basis. We authorize AfriStar-2 to operate downlinks within 2.6 megahertz of spectrum in each polarization with a center frequency of 1479.5 MHz. We also authorize AfriSpace to utilize feeder links and telecommand links for the AfriStar-2 satellite in the 7025-7075 MHz frequency band, to operate its telemetry link for the AfriStar-2 satellite at a center frequency of 1491.7 MHz, and to co-locate the AfriStar-2 satellite at 21° E.L. with the AfriStar-1 satellite currently in orbit. In addition, we grant AfriSpace a waiver of the Commission’s rule regarding transponder saturation flux densities for the AfriStar-2 satellite.2 These authorizations give AfriSpace the capability to continue to provide service to existing customers despite unanticipated technical difficulties experienced by the AfriStar-1 satellite and to serve new customers, conditioned on AfriSpace complying with the applicable laws, regulations, rules, and licensing procedures of any countries it proposes to serve.
