Astro-E

 2000-F01

---

Launch by M-V-4 in 2000 from Kagoshima. ASTRO E's objectives were high throughput, high energy resolution X-ray spectroscopy over a wide energy range. It will carry the XRS calorimeter telescope, the XIS CCD telescope, and the HXD hard X-ray detector.

Planned orbit was 250 x 550 km. Actual orbit was originally indicated to be around 80 x 410 km; probably reentered on first perigee somewhere between E Africa and Tibet. It appears the altitude at burnout was around 220 km, not far below the planned 250 km, but the velocity was much too low. More recent discussions suggest that the orbit was even lower, with a negative perigee, and that the payload fell in the Pacific.

Galaxy 7

 1992-072A

---

Hughes Communications Inc.'s Galaxy 7H was an HS-601 hybrid C/Ku band satellite replacing the C-band Galaxy 6 (which in turn replaced Galaxy 1) and the Ku-band SBS 4. It was used for cable TV distribution and private communications networks.

This mission used Perigee Velocity Augmentation (PVA), a procedure which optimizes the combined performance of launch vehicle and satellite to increase the on-orbit life of the satellite. The Ariane 42P lifted around 280 kg of additional satellite propellants, to a lower apogee of 27,600 km instead of the usual geostationary transfer apogee of 35,975 km. The Galaxy VII satellite used its apogee motor at the 3rd and 6th perigee to raise the apogee to the altitude normally used for circularization of the orbit, followed by regular apogee burns.

Kosmos 385

  1970-108A

---

Kosmos-385 was launched in Dec 1970 into a higher orbit than previous Tsiklon missions, with a period of 105 minutes. This would become the standard orbital altitude for the Tsiklon satellites and their successors.

Meteor F4 was launched in Apr 1970. It went into an orbit with a slightly higher apogee than normal. It was reported to be still transmitting in Jun 1971.
