Kosmos 2367

 1999-072A

---

A few weeks after the reentry of Kosmos-2347, Kosmos-2367 was launched to replace it, again the only satellite in the system. The satellite was a US-PU or US-PM variant.

RCS was 22m2. Only 13 debris objects were tracked, apparently all small.

JCSAT 3

 1995-043A

---

The third JCSAT satellite was an HS-601 model rather than the older spinning satellites used for JCSAT 1 and 2. It was launched on an Atlas 2AS, flight 8205/AC-117, on 1995 Aug 29. JCSAT 3 is owned by Japan Satellite Systems (JSS).

It is the first Japanese digital TV broadcasting satellite, and will be operated by DMC (Digital Multi-Channel Planning Co, Ltd), a partnership of JSAT (Japan Satellite Corp), Itochu Corp, Mitsui and Co, Ltd, Nissho Iwai Corp and Sumitomo Corp. The satellite will also provide data and fax transmission services.

JCSAT 3 was launched into a supersynchronous transfer orbit with an apogee of 80000 km. Space Command's circa-250-km initial perigee is a tracking error; the initial perigee was 167 km, a difference of 5m/s at apogee.

Telecom 2A

 1991-084A

---

France Telecom's Telecom 2 series used the Matra/BAe Eurostar 2000 bus. The 2200 kg satellite carried 10 C-band transponders for communications with the Departements et Terretoires d'outremer (the overseas parts of the French Republic), 11 Ku-band transponders for business communications, and 5 X-band transponders for the Syracuse military system. By 1995 Telecom 2A was mostly dedicated to military communications.

Palapa B2(R)

 1984-011D

---

After the failure of Westar 6, Palapa B2 was deployed from Challenger's payload bay. The PAM-D ignited, and again the nozzle failed, stranding the satellite in an elliptical orbit. The recovered satellite was bought by Sattel Technologies, Inc. and refurbished, then relaunched for Perumtel as Palapa B2R.
