Tiros-N

 1978-096A

---

Tiros N, the prototype for the Tiros N series, was launched on 1978 Oct 13 by Atlas F from Vandenberg into a suborbital trajectory on azimuth 192.8 deg. The Star 37S (TE-364-15) solid motor fired at apogee, inserting the payload into a 850 x 866 km x 98.9 deg, 102.1 min orbit with 0300LTDN afternoon orbit. After several weeks of system checkout, NASA transferred the satellite to NOAA-NESS and it entered operational service on 1979 Jan 1. On 1981 Feb 27 Tiros N lost attitude control and was abandoned.

Tiros N was 3.71m high 1.88m dia with a launch mass of 1405 kg. At BOL, mass is 723 kg after AKM and RCS burns. AKM is 48 kg with 664 kg of prop:

Myojo

 1994-007B

---

The first test launch of the H-II heavy launch vehicle carried a Vehicle Evaluation Payload (VEP). The 2400 kg VEP was the ETS-6 ground test model, and consisted of vehicle monitoring instruments, attached to the first LAPS liquid apogee stage. The LAPS stage carried 1470 kg of propellant ballast. VEP was named Myojo (Morning/Evening Star) once in orbit. VEP took off aboard H-2-1F from the Yoshinobu complex at Tanegashima on 1994 Feb 3.
