Kosmos 723

  1975-024A

---

Kosmos-723 and its partner Kosmos-724 may have monitored the USSR's Okean-75 naval exercise. The first elset in the high orbit was at 0730 UTC on May 16; this is given in the RAE tables as the time of the orbit change but my analysis suggests that a burn around 1720-1730 UTC on May 15 is more likely.

Landsat 6

 1993-F04

---

Landsat 6 was developed by General Electric for Eosat Co. and was intended to use the Eosat ground station in Norman, Oklahoma. The launch vehicle was a Titan II (23G) with a Thiokol Star 37FXP apogee motor. Landsat 6 was originally to use the large GE Omnistar but the project was descoped to use a Tiros N derivative. By the time of launch GE had been taken over by Martin Marietta.

The Titan II lifted off Space Launch Complex 4-West at Vandenberg AFB at 1756:29 on 1993 Oct 5. Titan stage 1 separation was at 1759:01 followed by stage 2 ignition a second later. The fairing was jettisoned at 1800:13 and stage 2 cutoff came at 1801:58, separating at 1802:01 with the Landsat/Star 37 combination on a suborbital trajectory at an altitude of 724 km. The Star 37FXP was meant to fire at 1810 to insert the payload in a 705 x 705 km orbit at an inclination of 98.2 deg. However, during the solid motor burn, the payload's attitude control system failed when its hydrazine fuel tank ruptured.

The usual TL beacon was detected during the mission. The beacon broadcasted on a slightly higher frequency than usual, apparently due to incorrect commanding.
