Mariner 6

  1969-014A

---

The Mariner Mars 69 spacecraft were similar in design to the Mariner C probes. The first to be launched was M69-3, or Mariner F. During test operations at LC36A, the Atlas 5402 first stage of AC-19 was damaged and had to be replaced by Atlas 5105. M69-3 was swapped to AC-20 to save time.

Launch was at 0129:02 on 1969 Feb 25 by Atlas Centaur from Cape Kennedy's LC36. The single Centaur burn, direct ascent trajectory with an initial azimuth of 108 deg and a yaw burn to final heading of 133 deg, and led to solar orbit insertion at 0141 and Centaur separation at 0143. Centaur venting placed the final stage on a trajectory missing Mars by 637000 km. After a single course correction on 1969 Mar 1, Mariner VI flew past Mars at 0519 on 1969 Jul 31. The flyby was targeted for the equatorial Meridiani Sinus region, with varied light and dark albedo features.

Apollo 13 (Aquarius)

  1970-029C

---

Lunar Module 7, the Apollo 13 LM, was intended to land at Fra Mauro. After the explosion on board the CSM, Odyssey, survival depended on using the LM as a lifeboat. The crew transferred into Aquarius as power on Odyssey failed, powering up the LM just in time. At 0842 on Apr 14 the LM's DPS engine was fired on a 30 second burn to put the ship back on a free-return trajectory. Two hours after skimming 252 km above the lunar farside, the DPS reignited (a burn called PC+2) for 4 min 30 sec to accelerate the return, as supplies began to run low. At 1315 on Apr 17 the Service Module was jettisoned, leaving the CM attached to the Lunar Module. This was the only time that this configuration (a Command Module/Lunar Module without a Service Module) ever flew. As the SM moved away, the destruction of the side bay was visible to the astronauts. At 1643 the crew, now back in Odyssey, undocked and let Aquarius fly on to its destruction in Earth's atmosphere. The Ascent and Descent stages remained attached up to reentry.

HEAO 1

 1977-075A

HEAO A was the first in the series. Laucnhed on 1977 Aug 12 at 0629 by an Atlas Centaur from Cape Canaveral, High Energy Astronomy Observatory 1 was inserted in a 93.2 min, 428 x 447 km x 22.8 deg. HEAO 1 carried out an all-sky survey in hard x-rays with its four instruments. On 1979 Jan 8 the attitude control fuel ran out, and the satellite stopped transmitting two days later. It reentered on 1979 Mar 15.

Hexagon 13

 1977-056A

---

SV-13 was the first Block III vehicle, with increased propellant capacity and improved batteries.

The spacecraft carried a supplementary Space Test Program experiment, the S76-1 NAVPAC autonomous navigation experiment. NAVPAC combines an accelerometer and Transit NNS receivers to derive the spacecraft's orbit.

The mapping camera operated until Oct 17, with the doppler beacn shut down on Oct 21. On Nov 6 the orbit was raised from 156 x 240 km to 158 x 265 km for the remainder of the mission, which ended on Dec 23.

Meteor-3 No. 5 was launched in Aug 1991. The 2150 kg satellite built by VNII-EM was placed in a 1200 km orbit. It was 4.2m long and 1.4m diameter. The local time of the orbit was 3 hr later than usual to support the US supplied ozone monitoring instrument. Control was from TsUP NNKhN (Nauchnovo i narodnokhozayistvennovo Naznacheniya), management by Goskogidromet SSSR.

Luch 2

 1995-054A

The Luch-1 (Gelios No. 12) satellite launched on 1995 Oct 11 was the first of a new generation, replacing the original Luch/Al'tair series. It will be stationed at 77E. It is controlled from Ostankino/Moskva. Launch mass was around 2400 kg. In 1996 it was used to replace the 1994 Luch satellite for Mir relay duties.

The spacecraft was internally called Luch-2 by NPO-PM although the open cover name was Luch-1.

The second S-56 payload, S-056A, was launched on 1961 Feb 16 by Scout X-1 from Launch Area 3 at Wallops Island. It reached orbit at 1316 and the balloon canister split to begin inflation of the 6 kg, 3.5m diameter balloon. The balloon's radio beacon failed on the first orbit, but the final rocket stage transmitted until 1961 Feb 25. The orbit of Explorer 9 was 634 x 2583 km x 38.9 deg. It reentered on 1964 Apr 3.

ATS 5

  1969-069A

---

ATS E (Applications Technology Satellite 5) was the third successful ATS. Launch by Atlas Centaur was at 1101 UT on 1969 Aug 12. Because of its heavier mass, ATS-5 needed a more elliptical parking orbit and a shorter coast time. The satellite was inserted into geostationary transfer orbit and fired its SR-28-3 apogee motor (serial number was either Z-4 or Z-6). The AKM was fired at first apogee instead of the planned second because of an attitude control anomaly. The apogee motor was to have been ejected 90s later to improve stability characteristics, but the spacecraft went into a flat spin and the ejection was aborted. ATS 5 was allowed to drift into view of the Rosman ground control station, and was maneuvered so that the spin was around the correct axis, but upside down. The motor was jettisoned on Sep 5. It impacted the solar array during ejection and caused minor damage. Because ATS-5 was spinning in the wrong direction, the yo-yo system could not be used and the gravity gradient booms could not be deployed. The spacecraft remained at 105 deg W until 1978 when it was moved to 70W; in 1984 it ran out of stationkeeping fuel and was moved off station. Its orbit was raised sometime in the months following Apr 1984.

OSO H (Orbiting Solar Observatory 7) was launched at 0945 on 1971 Sep 29 by a two stage Delta N from Cape Canaveral. The Delta second stage had attitude control issues during the second burn, resulting in a low perigee orbit of 93.4 min, 323 x 571 km x 33.1 deg. The spacecraft observed the Sun until 1974 Jul 6 when its attitude control gas was depleted; it reentered on 1974 Jul 9 over the South Pacific.

STS-5 (Columbia)

 1982-110A

---

STS-5 was the first operational Shuttle mission. Launch was on 1982 Nov 11 into a 295 x 301 km x 28.5 deg orbit. At 1618 on Nov 11, Columbia passed only 80 km from the Salyut-7 space station. That evening saw the first launch of a satellite from the Shuttle - the SBS-3 satellite, an HS-376 comsat for Satellite Business Systems, which had a PAM-D upper stage attached. On Nov 12, another HS-376, the Anik C-3, was deployed. Later on Nov 12, more thermal tests were carried out. A scheduled EVA was cancelled just before depressurization of the airlock on Nov 15 when a suit developed problems.
