S New Satellite, THOR 5, Successfully Launched Telenor’s new satellite, THOR 5, successfully launched Telenor Satellite Broadcasting is pleased to announce the successful launch of its new geo stationary satellite, THOR 5. The satellite was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 12.34 (CET), on 11 February and the launch was declared a success after the satellite separated as planned from the Proton Breeze M launch vehicle at 21.56 (CET) the same day. "I was delighted to see THOR 5 successfully being launched", said Cato Halsaa, CEO of Telenor Satellite Broadcasting. "I would like to thank our partners, Orbital, for carrying out the entire THOR 5 mission programme and ILS, for performing a successful launch. Additional broadcasting services in Europe The THOR 5 satellite will now go through extensive in-orbit testing before it is brought into its final geo- stationary position at 1 degree West and commence operating commercial services. From the1 degree West position, THOR 5 will carry all broadcasting services which currently reside on Thor II and provide additional capacity to allow growth in the Nordic region and expansion into Central and Eastern Europe. First satellite in the replacement and expansion programme THOR 5 is the first new satellite to be launched in Telenor Satellite Broadcasting's replacement and expansion programme for satellites, which has a total investment frame of 2.5 billion NOK (close to 470 million USD). With the completion of the programme, Telenor will have doubled its satellite capacity on 1 degree west, facilitating both organic growth and expansion for Telenor. Increasing need for high powered capacity "The satellite replacement and expansion programme demonstrates Telenor's commitment to the satellite industry and our firm belief that satellites will continue to play an important role as a distribution platform for TV entertainment", says Cato Halsaa, CEO of Telenor Satellite Broadcasting. "Driven by HDTV, new niche channels, and the expansion within emerging markets, the need for high powered capacity is increasing, and with our new satellites, we will be able to support the future growth requirements of our customers in Europe".

On its third launch of the year from the Guiana Space Center in French Guiana, and first with an Ariane 5, Arianespace will orbit satellites for two European operators: THOR 7 for the private Norwegian company Telenor Satellite Broadcasting (TSBc), and SICRAL 2 for Telespazio, on behalf of the Italian Ministry of Defense and the French defense procurement agency DGA (Direction Générale de l’Armement, part of the Ministry of Defense). The year’s first mission with the Ariane 5 heavy launcher once again illustrates Arianespace’s assigned task of guaranteeing independent access to space for European operators from both the private and public sectors. Since being founded in 1980, Arianespace has placed 224 satellites into geostationary transfer orbit for customers from Europe. THOR 7 THOR 7 will be the second satellite orbited by Arianespace for the private Norwegian operator Telenor Satellite Broadcasting (TSBc), after THOR 6 in October 2009. Built by Space Systems/Loral using an LS-1300 platform, THOR 7 will weigh approximately 4,600 kg at launch. It is fitted with 21 active Ku-band and 25 Ka-band transponders and will be positioned at 0.8° West. THOR 7 will provide TV broadcasting services for central and eastern Europe. Its payload will also provide broadband communications for the maritime industry, along with spotbeams covering European waters. Offering a design life of 15 years, THOR 7 is the 47th satellite built by Space Systems/Loral (or its predecessor companies) to be launched by Arianespace.

In the early 1980s, NASA halted procurement at Delta 183 after shifting all payloads to the Space Transportation System. To create Delta II for the U.S. Air Force Medium Launch Vehicle (MLV) program after the 1986 Challenger accident, McDonnell Douglas had to restart Delta production. The new rocket's first stage was stretched 3.66 meters and it's payload fairing was widened. The ultimate Delta II version, which did not appear until 1990, was boosted by more powerful solid rocket motors and a more powerful first stage motor. Delta 184, the first Delta II, launched GPS 14 on Valentine's Day, 1989. Boeing used a four-digit numbering system to identify specific Delta models. The first digit indicated the first stage and solid rocket motor (SRM) type. The first Delta II models, 16 altogether, were 6000-series birds with Extra Long Extended Tank (XLET) Thor first stages, with a Rocketdyne RS-27A main engine, and with Thiokol Castor 4A SRMs. Subsequent 7000-series Delta II vehicles used more powerful Alliant Graphite Epoxy SRMs (GEMs).
