  • DRAGON - 8U Nanosatellite Orbital Deployer
    DRAGON - 8U Nanosatellite Orbital Deployer Marcin Dobrowolski*, Jerzy Grygorczuk*Â ÃB_*, Marta Tokarz* and Maciej Borys* Abstract The Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences (SRC PAS) together with Astronika company have developed an Orbital Deployer called DRAGON for ejection of the Polish scientific nanosatellite BRITE-PL Heweliusz (Fig. 1). The device has three unique mechanisms including an adopted and scaled lock and release mechanism from the ESA Rosetta mission MUPUS instrument. This paper discusses major design restrictions of the deployer, unique design features, and lessons learned from development through testing. Introduction BRITE Constellation is a group of scientific nanosatellites whose purpose is to study oscillations in the light intensity of the most luminous stars (brighter than magnitude +3.5) in our galaxy. The observations will have a precision at least 10 times better than achievable using ground-based observations. The BRITE (BRight Target Explorer) mission formed by Austria, Canada and Poland will send to space a constellation of six nanosatelites, two from each country. BRITE-PL satellite is based on the Generic Nanosatellite Bus (GNB) from the Canadian SFL/UTIAS (Space Flight Laboratory / University of Toronto, Institute for Aerospace Studies). The spacecraft are to use the SFL XPOD (Experimental Push Out Deployer) as a separation system. Figure 1.

" # 487 The first scientific satellite, BRITE-PL Lem, is a modified version of the original SFL design. The second one, BRITE-PL Heweliusz, has the significant changes – it carries additional technological experiments implemented by SRC PAS.

  • SPACE VEXILLOLOGY- Thirty Years After the First Moon Landing
    SPACE VEXILLOLOGY- Thirty Years After the First Moon Landing Dr. Andreas Herzfeld, Leipzig, Germany This year we celebrate the 3Oth anniversary of the first moon landing. Neil Armstrong, the first man to step on the moon on 21 July 1969, spoke the famous words: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” Together with Edwin Aldrin, he then hoisted the flag of the United States on the moon (Illustration 1). Succeeding Apollo missions also hoisted the Stars and Stripes. The use of a f lag in space exploration began only after 1964—65. Following the Soviet-American missions of 1974—75, a flag was used in addition to the name of the country or agency responsible for the flight. 1. Launch Vehicles, Satellites, Spacecraft and Space Stations The Soviet Union launched the first satellite, Sputnik, on 4 October 1957. Neither this satellite (Ill. 2) nor its launch vehicle show any sign of its country of origin. After the first successful satellite launch by the U.S.A., the Soviet Union began marking its spacecraft with the inscription CCCP (USSR) (Ill. 3). Until the breakup of the USSR, the Soviets used a flag on their space vehicles only in case of multinational programs. The name of the craft, e.g., Soyuz, Salyut, Mir, was normally shown in Cyrillic letters in addition to the inscription CCCP (Ills. 4—6). An exception was the Soviet space shuttle Buran, which is marked both with the Soviet flag and the inscription CCCP (Ill. 7). The satellite Cosmos 782, launched an 25 November 1975, is another exception (III.

  • Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan Mikhail Marov
    Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan Mikhail Marov Geographical position Kyzylorda Province, Kazakhstan Location Latitude 45.9° N, longitude 63.3° E. Elevation 100m above mean sea level. General description Baikonur Cosmodrome has been the global base of operations for the Soviet, and subsequently the Russian, space programme. The first satellite, Sputnik, was launched from Baikonur, as was the first manned spacecraft in human history, Vostok 1, with Yuri Gagarin. So were several generations of cosmonauts, orbital stations, and lunar and planetary space missions. Introduction Science and technology heritage is a challenging new initiative involving numerous themes and issues, including specifically those relating to astronomical heritage and space exploration. We are keen to see solid progress towards understanding the principal concepts underlying such a complex topic. This, however, can only be accomplished by a gradual development of ideas. Baikonur’s inclusion in this volume is an attempt to undertake the first steps in this process, but it does not constitute a full case study. Science and innovation are regarded by UNESCO as key activities promoting sustainable development. Astronomical heritage is intrinsically related to the most important breakthroughs in space science and technology, and space exploration has established a new great milestone for human civilization. It is therefore essential to include space technology as an important category of technology heritage that has international significance in terms of humankind’s relationships with the sky. Following the international conference on ‘Astronomy and World Heritage: Across Time and Continents’ held in Kazan, Russia in August, 2009, it became a subject of further discussion and clarification, with an important step towards the goal being taken within the first ICOMOS–IAU Thematic Study (see DeVorkin 2010; Marov 2010).
