Soyuz 2-1B Launch: The Soyuz-2-1 rocket is a descendent of the R-7 Semyorka, the world’s first intercontinental ballistic missile. The R-7 was designed by Sergei Korolev, and first flew in 1957. A modified version was used to launch the first satellite, Sputnik 1, on 4 October of that year. The R-7 formed the basis for the Luna, Vostok, Voskhod, Molniya and Soyuz families of rockets, and to date all Soviet and Russian manned spaceflights have been launched using rockets derived from the R-7. The Soyuz, which first flew in 1966, was a modification of the Voskhod rocket Click here for other Soyuz news articles: featuring an upgraded and lighter telemetry system, and more http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/tag/soyuz/ fuel efficient engines. It was initially used to launch only Soyuz The Soyuz-2 also forms the basis for the Soyuz-ST rocket, spacecraft; however with the introduction of the Soyuz-U in which made its maiden flight from Kourou in French Guiana. The 1973 it began to launch other satellites as well. The Soyuz-U, Soyuz-ST is optimized to fly from Kourou, and also incorporates which remains in service, is the most-flown orbital launch system a flight termination system and a modified telemetry system. ever developed, having made over 750 flights to date, plus around The core stage of the Soyuz-2, the Blok-A, is powered by a 90 more in the Soyuz-U2 configuration optimized to use single RD-108A engine. This is augmented for the first two synthetic propellant. The Soyuz-2 was developed from the older minutes of flight by four boosters, each of which is powered by Soyuz models, and features digital flight control systems and an RD-107A engine. An optional Fregat Upper Stage – powered modernized engines. It first flew in 2004, and this is its twelfth by an S5.98M engine – uses unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine as launch. Two variants are currently in service; the Soyuz-2-1A, propellant and nitrogen tetroxide as an oxidizer. The Fregat first and the Soyuz-2-1B. The latter variant was used for the flew in 2000, and has been used on Soyuz-U, Soyuz-FG, Personal launch, with the vehicle featuring an RD-0124 third Soyuz-2 and Zenit rockets. It was not, however, used on the stage engine, which provided additional thrust. The RD-0124 was Soyuz 2-1A launch with Persona. The satellite launched on 3 Friday was in the Persona class of Russian reconnaissance satellites, derived from the Resurs DK class of remote sensing satellite. The history of this range of bird is derived from the Soviet Yantar reconnaissance satellites. The satellites optical subsystems include a triple mirror telescope with a primary mirror diameter of 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) and focal length of 20 metres (66 ft). The satellite is understood to have a mass of 6,500 kilograms (14,000 lb). It is expected to operation for seven years. The first satellite, identified as Kosmos 2441, was launched into a 750 km sun synchronous orbit on 26 July 2008, This second satellite – built by TsSKB-Progress, with optics by atop a Soyuz 2-1B rocket from LC-43/4 at the Plesetsk LOMO and the Vavilov State Optical Institute – was reported to Cosmodrome. However, it failed to return useful imagery due to have separated successfully after launch according to the an electrical malfunction.

  • A Comparison of GEO Satellites Using Chemical and Electric Propulsion
    A Comparison of GEO Satellites Using Chemical and Electric Propulsion David Thomas1 University of Colorado, Boulder, CO, 80309 May 4, 2016 A telecommunication satellite in a geostationary orbit requires a significant amount of propellant for station-keeping maneuvers, in addition to the propellant needed for transfer from GTO to the geostationary orbit. The propellant mass significantly increases the launch mass of the spacecraft, requiring a larger launch vehicle and increasing the cost of launch. However, low-thrust electric propulsion can lower the necessary propellant mass and reduce the launch cost. This paper seeks to explore the mass savings of electric propulsion through simple numerical simulations. Analysis indicates that the launch mass of an electric satellite is only 45% of that for a satellite with conventional, chemical propulsion.

  • Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC 20554
    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Fourth Report to Congress on ) IB Docket No. 14-229 Status of Competition in the Provision of ) Satellite Services ) To: The Commission COMMENTS OF THE SATELLITE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION SATELLITE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION Tom Stroup President 1200 18th Street, NW, Suite 1001 Washington, DC 20036 February 6, 2015 Tel. (202) 503-1561 SUMMARY The Satellite Industry Association (“SIA”) hereby responds to the International Bureau’s Public Notice requesting information on competition in the provision of satellite services. As discussed herein and in the attached 2014 State of the Satellite Industry Report, the satellite industry has continued to grow and innovate, providing an ever-increasing array of services and using spectrum more efficiently. During the 2011-2013 time frame on which the Bureau seeks comment, existing providers added capacity and new operators entered the market in every region of the globe. Meanwhile, there has been no significant change in the level of vertical integration within the industry. Despite the long lead times and substantial upfront costs that characterize the satellite industry economic structure, entry by additional competitors has continued. Indeed, one notable trend has been the establishment of new national operators, particularly in emerging markets. In addition, the past few years have seen the introduction of high throughput satellites that add significant capacity, decrease costs per unit, and permit faster broadband speeds. Furthermore, consumers of satellite services have an increasing array of alternatives available to them, including many terrestrial services that compete directly with satellite offerings. This leads to robust competition on both price and non-price factors.
