DFH-2

 1971-018A


China's second satellite was Shi Jian 1 (SJ 1, PRC 2). Shi Jian has been translated as `Practice' or `Test'. SJ 1 was similar in construction to DFH 1. It carried a magnetometer and solar cells, and cosmic ray detectors. SJ 1 transmitted until at least 1977. Transmissions continued on 20.008MHz from the final stage rocket until Mar 11, after which 19.995 MHz transmissions from the payload began, and it appears that the rocket did not separate until then.

Explorer 8

  1960-014


The S-030A ionospheric studies payload was launched on 1960 Nov 3 at 0523 by a Juno II from LC26B at Cape Canaveral. Jupiter AM-19D was used with JPL Cluster 17. S-30A entered a 417 x 2288 km x 49.95 deg orbit (planned inc was 50.3) and operated until 1960 Dec 27. S-30A was also called the Ionosphere Direct Measurements Satellite. Explorer 8 studied the temporal and spatial distribution of ionospheric properties and confirmed the presence of a helium layer in the upper atmosphere.

S-30A was developed by MSFC with GSFC experiments.

The despin weights were 0.3 kg on a 5.2m wire.

Raduga 2

 1976-092A


Raduga (Gran') No. 12 was launched in Sep 1976 and stationed at 85E. NORAD stopped tracking in 1980 and resumed in 1987. The satellite was drifting slowly in the Indian Ocean gravitational stable point in the late 1990s.

Inmarsat 201

 1990-093A


The Matra/BAe Eurostar 1000 spacecraft built for Inmarsat as the first of the second generation Inmarsat system carried an L-band payload for mobile communications. BAe was lead contractor.

In 1996 it was replaced as the prime IOR satellite by Inmarsat III F1.

Kosmos 404

  1971-027A


Kosmos-404 was launched in Apr 1971 and intercepted Kosmos-400 on its second revolution, with a slow pass. It was maneuvered to a lower orbit and then deorbited. Orbital data from Apr 5 and 6 may refer to a fragment from the second stage or the DU; 1971-27D appears to be the same object.

 2001-017A


Souuz TM 206 (ISS 2S) was the first taxi flight, with the MKS-T1 crew (Kristall). EP-1 (orig MirCorp Citizen Explorer flight) with Dennis Tito, a rich investment management executive and former JPL trajectory guy. Commander was Talgat Musabaev and BI was Yuriy Baturin.

During reentry, the crew were subjected to 7g instead of the planned 4.8g. One rumour said the astronauts armed the deorbit engine later than intended, but official Russian statements indicated an error in the loaded guidance commands causing an incorrect entry angle.

DASH

 2002-003B


The ISAS Demonstrator of Atmospheric Reentry System at Hypervelocity (DASH) is a secondary payload on H-IIA-F2. It will deorbit from GTO at high (hyperbolic) velocity. The mission is a test for MUSES-C. It was meant to reenter at 10.2 km/s between -18.5 and -16.5 at 200 km (corresponding to -423 x 34153 x 28.5 to -574 x 34305 x 28.5) and land in Africa (Mauritania? at about 8.5W 17.2N. in the Hodh el Gharbi region. In the event it failed to separate from VEP-3.

DASH consists of a hexagonal bus with a deorbit motor (DOM), and a blunt cone reentry capsule, and two DFM thrusters for orbit adjust at apogee. The size of DASH is 0.99m x 0.70m x 0.54m. including the comms antenna; bus size is 0.7 x 0.5m. Mass of the orbiter and DOM is 70 kg. The reentry capsule has a mass of 16 kg and is 0.40m dia, 0.20m high. A 3 kg adapter is mounted to the H-2A upper adapter.

In Japanese DASH is

Skynet 2B

  1974-094A


The Skynet 2B satellite was similar to Skynet 2A in design. It was launched in Nov 1974 and began an extremely successful career relaying UK military communications. It ran out of stationkeeping fuel in the 1980s but it was still working in 1994. The spacecraft is currently drifting between 0 and 150 deg E longitude.

CONTOUR

 2002-034A


Contour, the Comet Nucleus Tour, is the 2002 Discovery mission. Its goal is to image comet nuclei at 4m resolution, and provide nuclear spectral maps at 100-200m resolution. It will also make composition measurements on cometary gas and dust. The APL-built probe is led by a Cornell University team.

Mass is 970 kg at launch - 387 kg dry, 503 kg Star 30BP S/N 074, 80 kg hydrazine. Size is a 2.0m dia, 2.0m long octagonal cylinder.

Contact was lost at solid motor firing. Three fragments were observed: A, B and C. A design error meant that the spacecraft overheated and key components were destroyed. B is a small 4 kg piece based on acceleration measurements. A had a mass of around 300 kg, and is probably the main bit of Contour.
