STS-76 (Atlantis)

 1996-018A


The third Mir docking mission, STS-76 (S/MM-3), was intended to inaugurate a permanent US presence in space. The crew included Mission Specialist 4 Shannon Lucid, who transferred to the Mir station, becoming Kosmonavt-issledovatel' on the Mir EO-21 crew. Lucid was the first woman to make five space flights. On this mission, the Spacehab module was carried in the cargo bay as a storage room for the supplies being brought to Mir. Launch on 1996 Mar 22 was marred by a leak in APU No. 3, and for a while it looked as if the mission might be curtailed. Rendezvous went smoothly and Atlantis completed the first docking with the 316GK module which it had left attached to Mir on the previous flight.

The crew transferred supplies to Mir from the Spacehab module, including a large number of water containers. During the docked phase, EV astronauts Linda Godwin and Rich Clifford emerged from the airlock in the Tunnel Adapter, and transferred four attache-case-sized MEEP experiment trays from the rear Shuttle cargo bay to the 316GK module. They were attached with clamps to handrails on the exterior of the module and opened up to expose the samples they carried to the space environment.

After undocking, the landing date was brought forward a day in the hope of beating approaching bad weather at the Cape, but to no avail. A waveoff at KSC on Mar 30 and Mar 31 resulted in the first Edwards landing in over a year.

The orbiter was attached to Shuttle Carrier Aircraft 905 for the return trip to Florida, but the SCA's flight was aborted when a fire broke out in one of the Boeing 747's engines. The 747 had to make an emergency landing with a weight well in excess of normal limits, former astronaut Gordon Fullerton flying the plane. The engine was replaced and the return trip resumed on Apr 11 without incident.

Kosmos 541

  1972-105A


The third Zenit-4MT/Orion was launched in Dec 1972. The payload was announced as Kosmos-541; it was the first of the series to be placed in a polar 81 degree orbit. It carried the usual micrometeorite detector package. The satellite was recovered on Jan 8 and the Kettering group detected a TL recovery beacon.

USA-78

 1992-006A


For the second series of DSCS III launches, the USAF let a commercial launch contract for the Medium Launch Vehicle 2, won by General Dynamics (later Lockheed Martin) who proposed their Atlas II launch vehicle. The Atlas II required an apogee engine to deliver the DSCS into stationary orbit; GE Astro Space made the Integrated Apogee Boost Subsystem (IABS) using two R4D liquid engines. IABS was controlled by a new gyro unit on the DSCS spacecraft that also is used for on-orbit DSCS operations. DSCS III B-14 was given the designation USA 78 on reaching orbit.

The IABS carried solar arrays and attiude sensors. IABS LAE firing is controlled by the DSCS payload. IABS burn is at apogee 5, with a planned trim burn at apogee 7. IABS then separates in a 3 deg/day 23 hr drift orbit. However, a problem with IABS prevented the second burn, which had to be done with the DSCS’ onboard RCS engines.

Luna 17

  1970-095A


The second Lunokhod mission, E-8 No. 203, was not launched until Nov 1970 following the first successful E-8-5 mission, Luna-16. The new flight was named Luna-17 and it landed on 1970 Nov 17, successfully deploying Lunokhod-1.

Details of the Luna-17 launch profile, given below, were revealed in Novosti Kosmonavtiki in 1995. The Proton separated on a suborbital trajectory. The first Blok D burn lasted less than 370s (NK implies 370s but I believe there was a coast period before the burn started; 200s or less would be more reasonable given known properties of the Blok D), and the second one 400s.

Hexagon 9

  1974-085A


HEXAGON flight 9 was maintained in a 155 x 270 km orbit with regular orbit trim burns throughout its mission. The initial element sets give a low orbit of 117 x 275 km, followed by 129 x 277 km, before the orbit was raised to 159 x 268 km on the third rev. This may indicate underperformance of the launch vehicle or just inaccurate tracking. On Mar 9 the perigee was allowed to decrease until reentry on Mar 19.
