Jonathan's Space ReportNo. 603 2008 Nov 15, Somerville, MA--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Shuttle and Station--------------------The Expedition 18 crew of Michael Fincke, Yuiry Lonchakov and GregChamitoff continues work on board the ISS. Soyuz TMA-13 is docked tothe Zarya port.Nov 15 saw the launch of Shuttle mission STS-126, ISS flight ULF-2(Utilization and Logistics Flight 2) with Orbiter OV-105 Endeavour,External Tank ET-129 and Solid Rocket Motors RSRM-104 (SRB set BI-136).STS-126 was launched from Mobile Launch Platform 3 on Pad 39A.Endeavour and ET-129 reached an orbit of 59 x 230 km x 51.6 deg,8 min after launch. At 0134 UTC Endeavour executed theOMS-2 burn into a 158 x 230 km orbit.Crew of STS-126 are Christopher Ferguson, Eric Boe, Don Pettit, StephenBowen, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, Shane Kimbrough, and Expedition 18flight engineer Sandra Magnus who will stay aboard ISS replacing Chamitoff.Here is my version of the payload bay equipment manifest for STS-126: Name Bay location Mass (kg,guess) Orbiter Docking System 1-2 1800 with EMU 3005, 3011 suits 260? APC/SPDU 3 port 100? APC/SSPL Picosat launcher 3 stbd 50 PSSC Picosats 7 ROEU 751 umbilical 7 stbd 50? Leonardo (MPLM-1) 7-12 12748 Lightweight MPESS Carrier (LMC) 13 1495 kg RMS 201 Sill 410 OBSS Sill 450? ---------------------------------------------------- Cargo total 17370Total mass of the orbiter at ET separation is 116500 kg.This flight doesn't add anything significant to the outside ofthe ISS, but stocks up the interior, making the ISS more liveable.The Multi-Purpose Logistics Module (MPLM) Leonardo is carrying6956 kg of cargo including two crew quarters racks,and three racks to support the cycling of consumables throughthe crew: the Galley rack, for consuming things which laterpass through the WHC (Waste and Hygiene Compartment) rack, andthen two Water Recovery System racks which recycle the waste intodrinkable water to begin again. There's also an experiment rack,the CIR (Combustion integration rack), and miscellaneous suppliesin three RSRs (Resupply Stowage Racks) and six RSPs (Resupply StowagePlatforms).IBEX----IBEX has reportedly reached its final orbit of around 12000 x 320000 km,but I haven't seen any detailed orbital data or information on theorbit raising burns.Simon Bolivar-------------Venezuela's first satellite, VENESAT-1 or 'Simon Bolivar', was launchedfrom Xichang in China on Oct 29 aboard a Chang Zheng 3B rocket. Thesatellite is a DFH-4 class bus built by CAST/Beijing and carries C-bandand Ku-band transponders; it has a mass of around 5100 kg. Simon Bolivaris operated by the Agencia Bolivariana para Actividades Espaciales(Bolivarian Agency for Space Activities) in Caracas, under the Ministryof Popular Power for Science and Technology.Launch was into a 169 x 41771 km x 24.80 deg orbit. By Nov 12 thesatellite was in a 35784 x 35788 km x 0.4 deg orbit over 78.0W;details of orbit raising burns are not available.Chandraayan-1--------------According to ISRO, on Oct 29 Chandraayan-1's orbit was raised to 465 x267000 km, on its way to lunar orbit. My estimate from Space-Track datais 575 x 261997 km x 18.1 deg. On Nov 3, the apogee was increased further to380000 km.Chandrayaan-1 entered lunar orbit on Nov 8. ISRO reported the initialorbit as 504 x 7502 km x 90.0 deg. By Nov 12 the orbit had been loweredto 100 x 100 km x 90.0 deg. On Nov 14 at 1436 UTC it ejected a 29 kgMoon Impact Probe (MIP). The MIP fired a small deorbit motor to lowerits orbit to around -200 x 100 km, and hit the moon at 1501 UTC, nearShackleton Crater at the south pole.Chinese double launch---------------------A Chang Zheng 2D rocket launched two small satellites on Nov 5,Chuanxin yihao 02 xing (Innovation Satellite no. 1 - 02) and Shiyan Weixingsanhao (Experimental satellite no. 3).SW-3 was built by the Harbin Inst. of Tech. and Beijing's DFH SatelliteCo. CX-1-02 was probably built by SIMIT (the Shanghai Inst. ofMicrosystem and Information Technology) together with the ShanghaiAcademy of Space Technology, the team that built the first CX-1satellite launched in 2003.The Xinhua news agency reports that CX-1-02 will collect and relayhydrological and meteorological data and data for disaster relief. andSW-3 will be used for experiments on new technologies in atmosphericexploration. Mass of CX-1-02 is under 100 kg; SW-3 is larger but I don'tknow how much larger. The satellites are in a 786 x 804 km x 98.5 degorbit; a third object in a 308 x 835 km orbit is probably the launchvehicle second stage; it made a perigee-lowering depletion burn at about0035 UTC, after satellite separation. This may explain why the Yaogan 2 second stage, also a CZ-2D, was never cataloged: it probably made aperigee-lowering burn which caused it to reenter on the first orbit.Meanwhile, the two new Shi Jian 6 satellites have begun operation. Thename of the first satellite is Shijian liuhao 03 zu A xing, or 'PracticeSix Group 3 Satellite A', which I call SJ-6-03A for simplicity. (In theChinese news reports, the '6' is written as Chinese characters, but the'03' and the 'A' as Arabic numerals and Roman letters. Go figure...)SJ-6-03A has maneuvered from 579 x 603 km to 565 x 597 km to 585 x 601km. SJ-6-03B remains in a 582 x 604 km orbit with no significantmanuevers. The SJ-6-03's final stage rocket is in a 504 x 703 km orbitand an adapter is in an orbit just below the payloads at 580 x 604 km.Astra 1M---------The Astra 1M communications satellite, for Luxembourg-based SES Astra,was launched by Proton-M/Briz-M on Nov 5. The Proton reached -986 x 165km x 51.5 deg; the Briz-M entered a 173 x 174 km parking orbit; afterits third burn, the additional propellant tank was jettisoned in a 311x 14176 km x 46.9 deg orbit at 0024 UTC on Nov 6. After a fifth burn,the Briz separated from Astra 1M at 0556 UTC on Nov 6, in a 4983 x 35797km x 21.5 deg orbit. By Nov 10 Astra 1M was in a 22543 x 35803 km x 3.8 degorbit approaching GEO.Kosmos-2445------------On Nov 14 a Russian Defense Ministry Kobal't-M imaging reconnaissancesatellite codenamed Kosmos-2445 was launched into a 169 x 314 km x 67.1deg orbit.This is the fourth improved Kobal't satellite, all of which flew in similar 67.1 deg orbits: Kobal't-M Kosmos-2410 2004 Sep 24-2005 Jan 9 (107 days) Kobal't-M Kosmos-2420 2006 May 3-2006 Jul 19 (77 days) Kobal't-M Kosmos-2427 2007 Jun 7-2007 Aug 22 (76 days) Kobal't-M Kosmos-2445 2008 Nov 14We can therefore expect this mission to last at least until Jan 29.The satellite consists of a propulsion module, and a recoverablecamera module. It also carries two small supplementary SpK recoverable filmcapsules which will be deorbited during the mission - alas, I haven'tmanaged to figure out a way to tell when the SpK recoveries happen.Table of Recent (orbital) Launches----------------------------------Date UT Name Launch Vehicle Site Mission INTL.
