  • Electric Propulsion for Station Keeping and Electric Orbit Raising on Eutelsat Platforms
    Electric Propulsion for Station Keeping and Electric Orbit Raising on Eutelsat Platforms 2015-b/IEPC-97 Presented at Joint Conference of 30th International Symposium on Space Technology and Science 34th International Electric Propulsion Conference and 6th Nano-satellite Symposium, Hyogo-Kobe, Japan July 4 – 10, 2015 C. Casaregola1 Eutelsat, Paris, 75015, France Abstract: With a fleet of 34 geostationary satellites and more than 30 years of service from space, Eutelsat is today Europe’s most long-standing satellite operator and one of the world’s leading satellite operators. The first two platforms using Electric Propulsion procured are SESAT-1 (EUTELSAT 16C) and KA-SAT, for which Electric Propulsion is limited to on-station operations. The successful demonstration of sustained capability of Electric Propulsion for these two platforms in addition to the extensive flight heritage with no significant anomalies demonstrated in the last decades on both commercial and scientific platforms, prove the high level of maturity reached by Electric Propulsion systems. Based on that and due to new attractive launch options, one full-electric platform - EUTELSAT 115 West B – has been procured and launched in March 2015. The launch of EUTELSAT 115 West B is a key milestone for telecom platforms as it makes Eutelsat the first Operator to use Electric Propulsion for a complete electric orbit raising. Two additional platforms – EUTELSAT 117 West B and EUTELSAT 172 B - are under procurement and will perform complete electric orbit raising as well. An overview of Eutelsat platforms using Electric Propulsion for station keeping and electric orbit raising is given in the paper.

Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring is analysed. From 1523 objects for which orbital data are available (of which 0 are outdated, i.e. the last available state dates back to 180 or more days before the reference date), 519 are actively controlled, 795 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 189 are in a libration orbit and 19 are in a highly inclined orbit. For 1 object the status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 59 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 54 have not been cata- logued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1582.

  • Space Activities 2018
    Space Activities in 2018 Jonathan McDowell [email protected] 2019 Feb 20 Rev 1.4 Preface In this paper I present some statistics characterizing astronautical activity in calendar year 2018. In the 2014 edition of this review, I described my methodological approach and some issues of definitional ambguity; that discussion is not repeated here, and it is assumed that the reader has consulted the earlier document, available at http://planet4589.org/space/papers/space14.pdf (This paper may be found as space18.pdf at the same location). Orbital Launch Attempts During 2018 there were 114 orbital launch attempts, with 112 reaching orbit.

Electron is licensed in the USA but launched from New Zealand territory. However, in late 2018 New Zealand registered the upper stages from the Jan 2018 Electron launch with the UN. Based on this, in rev 1.4 of this document I am changing Electron to count as a New Zealand launch vehicle.
