Brasilsat 1

 1985-015B

---

The SBTS 1 (Sistema Brasilero de Telecomunicacoes par Satelite) satellite was built by Spar and Hughes for Telebras (Telecomunicacoes Brasileiras), part of the Brazilian Ministry of Communications. Named Brasilsat 1 on reaching orbit, the HS376 satellite was operated by Embratel (Empresa Brasileira de Telecomunicacoes SA, Rio), the operational arm of Telebras.

In 1995 the satellite was leased by Hughes Communications Inc to provide supplemental C-band capacity for US domestic communications in the Galaxy system. In 2000 it was still in use by Panamsat; it was retired in 2002.

Pioneer 7

  1966-075A

---

Pioneer B was launched at 1520:17 on 1966 Aug 17 by Delta E1 from Kennedy. The Delta separated at 1544:53 and the FW4 ignited at 1545:37. SP-278 and SP-280 give inconsistent values for the injection azimith corresponding to orbit inclinations of 22 and 42 deg respectively, with TR-1022 confirming the 42 deg value. Pioneer VII malfunctioned in 1972 Jul while at aphelion and lost some power, but it was still operable in 1980.

Molniya-3 (F21, N19) was launched in Aug 1982 into plane A. It originally failed to make any burns to stabilize its ground track, but in mid September it started a series of small burns and later that month it was on station to replace F15 (N13). It reportedly carried an experimental SHF transponder.

Koronas-I

 1994-014A

---

A new generation of AUOS satellites, the AUOS-SM, was introduced by Koronas-I, the first science satellite launched by the Russian Space Agency. KORONAS is an acronym for Kompleksnie Orbital'nie Okolozemnie Nablyudeniya Aktivnosti Solntsa (Near Earth Orbital Complex for Studying Solar Activity). The I stands for IZMIRAN (Institut Zemnovo Magnetizma, Ionosferi i rasprostraneniya radiovoln AN Rossii), the terrestrial magnetism and ionospheric research institute of the Russian Academy Of Sciences. Koronas had the prelaunch designation AUOS-SM-KI-IK ( AUOS-SM-KI-IK) No. 801. The satellite was a 2298 kg 3-axis stabilized cylinder with solar panels. It was 5.0 m high and 2.3m in diameter, with a span of 12.8m once deployed. The satellite achived 40 arcsecond pointing (only 10 arcmin was required).

STS-85 (Discovery)

 1997-039A

---

The STS-85 mission featured the second flight of the CRISTA-SPAS satellite. SPAS was deployed on Aug 7, the day of launch, and recovered on Aug 16. The recovery involved a `twice orbital rate fly around' (TORFA) approach being tested for the Station.

STS-85 also carried the TAS and IEH experiments in the payload bay.

Kosmos 1669

 1985-062A

---

11F615A15 No. 126 (7K-TG No. 126, Progress No. 126) was launched on 1985 Jul 19. On the first orbit, telemetry erroneously indicated the Igla antenna had not deployed, precluding a docking. The satellite was announced not as Progress-25 but instead as Kosmos-1669. However, it later was found that the antenna deployed correctly, and the craft docked with Salyut-7 successfully. It was the last Progress launched to Salyut-7. There may have been a re-rendezvous test after undocking.
