  • Atlas V Launches LRO/LCROSS Mission Overview
    Atlas V Launches LRO/LCROSS Mission Overview Atlas V 401 Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, FL Space Launch Complex-41 AV-020/LRO/LCROSS United Launch Alliance is proud to be a part of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) and the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) mission with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The LRO/LCROSS mission marks the sixteenth Atlas V launch and the seventh flight of an Atlas V 401 configuration. LRO/LCROSS is a dual-spacecraft (SC) launch. LRO is a lunar orbiter that will investigate resources, landing sites, and the lunar radiation environment in preparation for future human missions to the Moon. LCROSS will search for the presence of water ice that may exist on the permanently shadowed floors of lunar polar craters. The LCROSS mission will use two Lunar Kinetic Impactors, the inert Centaur upper stage and the LCROSS SC itself, to produce debris plumes that may reveal the presence of water ice under spectroscopic analysis. My thanks to the entire Atlas team for its dedication in bringing LRO/LCROSS to launch, and to NASA for selecting Atlas for this ground-breaking mission. Go Atlas, Go Centaur, Go LRO/LCROSS!

  • 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.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE ASTRA 3B SATELLITE SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED New satellite at 23.5 degrees East to deliver services to Europe and the Middle East Luxembourg/Kourou (French Guiana), 25 May 2010. – SES ASTRA, an SES company (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG), announces that its new ASTRA 3B satellite has been successfully launched. ASTRA 3B roared into space onboard an Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou, French Guiana, on May 21 at 19:01 pm local time (0:01 am on May 22 Central European Summer Time). The satellite will be brought into its final orbital position within the next weeks and will be made commercially available in June after in-orbit testing. ASTRA 3B will be located at 23.5 degrees East. It will deliver Direct-to-Home (DTH) broadcast services to the Benelux and Eastern Europe and serve public and private satellite communication networks across Europe and the Middle East. The satellite will allow SES ASTRA to extend the geographical coverage and the service to customers and offer DTH TV reception from Spain to the Black Sea. It will also help SES ASTRA to further optimise the spectrum use at 23.5 degrees East. ASTRA 3B will join ASTRA 3A and enable SES ASTRA to release its satellites ASTRA 1E and ASTRA 1G for other missions. ASTRA 1E and ASTRA 1G are currently positioned at 23.5 degrees East. ASTRA 3B was built by Astrium in Toulouse, France, using a Eurostar E3000 platform. The spacecraft weighed around 5,500 kilogrammes at launch and carries 60 Ku-band and four Ka-band transponders (after the first five years 56 Ku- and four Ka-band transponders).
