ADEOS-2

 2002-056A

---

ADEOS 2 has a mass of 3680 kg. Size 6 x 4 x 4m, 28 m span, Irreg + 1 panel. GLI will have 36 bands, 1 km res. AMSR has 10 km res at high freq. This was the first launch since MHI took over launch operations from NASDA on Nov 20. Communications with the satellite failed in Oct 2003, almost exactly the same interval after launch as the ADEOS-1 failure.

STS-100 (Endeavour)

 2001-016A

---

STS-100 carried out mission 6A, delivering the SSRMS arm Canadarm-2. Press kit quotes Launch mass was 103504 kg; landing mass was to be 99740 kg. However, mass post NC2 burn was almost 114000 kg. Deorbit mass was around 99000 kg.

The mission was extended two days when ISS computer failures delayed the end of SSRMS tests.

Kosmos 743

  1975-053A

There is some question as to whether this vehicle used 11A57 or 11A511U: the NK forum in 2010 said it was actually 11A511U. Unlike most Germes flights, Kosmos-743 made several orbital changes.

Gambit-3 32

  1971-070A

KH-8 32 was launched on 1971 Aug 12 by Titan IIIB Agena D from Vandenberg on a 22 day flight. This flight was the first to fly the longer focal length R-5 optical system and marked the transition to the long tank Titan 24B. The vehicle was deorbited over Alaska as part of the VAST 3 experiment to recover a 'payload sensor'.
