  • Photo Release -- Space Systems/Loral-Built Telstar 11N Satellite on Track with Post Launch Maneuvers
    Photo Release -- Space Systems/Loral-Built Telstar 11N Satellite On Track With Post Launch Maneuvers Solar Arrays Deployed On Schedule Following Successful Launch PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb 27, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) -- Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), a subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications (Nasdaq:LORL) and the leading provider of commercial satellites, today announced that the Telstar 11N satellite built for Telesat, one of the world's leading fixed satellite services operators, is performing post launch maneuvers according to plan. The satellite's solar arrays deployed on schedule several hours after separation, following yesterday's successful launch aboard a Zenit-3SLB rocket from the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan. Tomorrow the satellite will begin firing its thrusters to maneuver into its final geosynchronous orbit. A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=5941 "We are proud to know that this high-power satellite will help make information and entertainment more accessible around the world," said John Celli, President and Chief Operating Officer of Space Systems/Loral. "Telstar 11N demonstrates the flexibility of our standard 1300 satellite platform, which in this case was engineered to accommodate a smaller launch vehicle. It is this flexibility together with long term proven reliability that have helped SS/L achieve more than 40 percent market share over the past five years." When it reaches its final geosynchronous orbit, Telstar 11N will support video and data applications in North America, Western Europe, and Africa. Space Systems/Loral designed the satellite with a unique Atlantic Ocean beam, which will help Telesat meet growing demand for mobile broadband from both commercial and government customers in shipping and aviation.

  • Uncontrolled Re-Entries of Spacecraft and Rocket Bodies: a Statistical Overview Over the Last Decade
    Uncontrolled Re-Entries of Spacecraft and Rocket Bodies: A Statistical Overview over the Last Decade Carmen Pardinia1*, Luciano Anselmoa2 a Space Flight Dynamics Laboratory, Institute of Information Science and Technologies (ISTI), National Research Council (CNR), Via G. Moruzzi 1, 56124 Pisa, Italy 1 [email protected]; 2 [email protected] * Corresponding Author Abstract More than 24,400 catalogued orbiting objects have re-entered so far into the Earth’s atmosphere since the beginning of the space age. The associated returning mass, close to 30,000 metric tons, was mainly concentrated in intact objects, i.e. payloads and spent upper stages, accounting for nearly 29% of the re- entered objects. During the 10 years from 2008 to 2017, almost 450 large intact objects have re-entered without control, with a total returning mass of approximately 900 metric tons. Since the beginning of 2018 until mid-November, nearly 86 metric tons of returned materials were associated with almost 65 uncontrolled re-entries of large intact objects, three of which with a mass exceeding 5 metric tons: the Zenit-3F second stage 2017-086D, the C-25 cryogenic upper stage 2017-031B, and the Chinese space station Tiangong-1. After an overview of the most critical historic re-entry events, the attention will be focused on the re- entries of massive objects occurred without control from 2008 to 2017, by categorizing them in terms of relevance, re-entry frequency, returned mass, distribution in inclination, overflown latitude bands, eccentricity and perigee/apogee altitudes before re-entry. Cases in which spacecraft and rocket bodies components were retrieved, and eyewitnesses sightings were reported, will be presented as well.

  • Evolved Expendable Launch Operations at Cape Canaveral, 2002-2009
    EVOLVED EXPENDABLE LAUNCH OPERATIONS AT CAPE CANAVERAL 2002 – 2009 by Mark C. Cleary 45th SPACE WING History Office PREFACE This study addresses ATLAS V and DELTA IV Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) operations at Cape Canaveral, Florida. It features all the EELV missions launched from the Cape through the end of Calendar Year (CY) 2009. In addition, the first chapter provides an overview of the EELV effort in the 1990s, summaries of EELV contracts and requests for facilities at Cape Canaveral, deactivation and/or reconstruction of launch complexes 37 and 41 to support EELV operations, typical EELV flight profiles, and military supervision of EELV space operations. The lion’s share of this work highlights EELV launch campaigns and the outcome of each flight through the end of 2009. To avoid confusion, ATLAS V missions are presented in Chapter II, and DELTA IV missions appear in Chapter III. Furthermore, missions are placed in three categories within each chapter: 1) commercial, 2) civilian agency, and 3) military space operations. All EELV customers employ commercial launch contractors to put their respective payloads into orbit. Consequently, the type of agency sponsoring a payload (the Air Force, NASA, NOAA or a commercial satellite company) determines where its mission summary is placed. Range officials mark all launch times in Greenwich Mean Time, as indicated by a “Z” at various points in the narrative. Unfortunately, the convention creates a one-day discrepancy between the local date reported by the media and the “Z” time’s date whenever the launch occurs late at night, but before midnight. (This proved true for seven of the military ATLAS V and DELTA IV missions presented here.) In any event, competent authorities have reviewed all the material presented in this study, and it is releasable to the general public.
