  • 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.

    Evidence for ICT Policy Action Policy Paper 10, 2013 Understandingwhat is happening in ICT in Mozambique A supply- and demand- side analysis of the ICT sector Francisco Mabila Research ICT Africa Research ICT Africa (RIA) is an information and communication technology (ICT) policy and regulation research network based in Cape Town, South Africa, under the directorship of Dr. Alison Gillwald. As a public interest think tank, RIA fills a strategic gap in the development of a sustainable information society and knowledge economy. The network builds the ICT policy and regulatory research capacity needed to inform effective ICT governance in Africa. RIA was launched a decade ago and has extended its activities through national, regional and continental partnerships. The network emanates from the growing demand for data and analysis necessary for appropriate but visionary policy required to catapult the continent into the information age. Through development of its research network, RIA seeks to build an African knowledge base in support of sound ICT policy and regulatory design, transparent implementation processes, and monitoring and review of policy and regulatory developments on the continent. The research, arising from a public interest agenda, is made available in the public domain, and individuals and entities from the public sector, private sector and civil society are encouraged to use it for purposes of teaching and further research or to enable them to participate more effectively in national, regional and global ICT policymaking and governance.
