Ranger 7

  1964-041A


Ranger VII (Ranger B, P-54) was launched at 1650:07 on 1964 Jul 28 by Atlas Agena B from Cape Canaveral. The Atlas separated at 1655:15, Agena burn 1 was from 1655:56 to 1658:34 placing the probe in a 188 x 192 km x 28 deg parking orbit. Agena reignited at 1718:32 until 1720:01 and separated at 1722, making an avoidance maneuver at 1729. Ranger VII made a midcourse correction at 1027:09 on 1964 Jul 29. The flight gave NASA and JPL a badly needed success. The first photos were sent back at 1306 on Jul 31, and continued up to impact at 1325:49 on 1964 Jul 31 in a lunar mare region later renamed Mare Cognitum (the Known Sea) in honor of the flight. Location was 10.7S 20.7W.

Navstar 27

 1992-058A


Navstar SVN 27 was launched on 1992 Sep 9 and placed in plane F-1. The second stage was put in a low inclination 19.8 deg post-depletion orbit. Working backwards from the stage 3 orbit and making the parking orbit pass over Cape Canaveral, it seems that the parking orbit inclination may have been changed to 34 deg for a launch azimuth of 110 deg.

ATS 3

  1967-111A


Applications Technology Satellite 3 followed on the successful ATS B mission and was, if possible, even more successful, operating into the 1980s. It carried both communications and weather experiments.

Launch was at 2337 UT on 1967 Nov 5 from pad 12 at Cape Kennedy. The SR-28-3 kick motor fired at 1532 UT on Nov 6, and ATS III reached a 35791 x 36130 km x 0.5 deg orbit on station at 47 W within the day. In 1970 the meteorological imaging camera was handed over to NOAA for operational use. There was an antenna malfunction in Jul 1971.

ATS 3 was drifting back and forth between 46W and 100W from 1968 to 1970 when it was stationed at 63W and then (in Nov 1970) at 46W. From 1971 to 1976 ATS 3 remained at 69W. In early 1977 it arrived at 105W, where it remained until 2000, after officially completing its mission in 1978.

Himawari 5

 1995-011B


The GMS-5 (Himawari-5) satellite was launched on 1995 Mar 17 on the third H-II flight. This flight used extra SSB (Solid Sub Boosters) in addition to the SRBs.

Progress M-47

 2003-006A


Launch 1259:40 UTC. Progress 247 on mission 10P.

Mass 7230 kg. 880 kg of prop, 1328 kg of dry cargo. (NK: 7267 kg). Mass at undocking was 7356 kg.

On Feb 11 it reboosted the station's orbit following the loss of Columbia. Operator error resulted in an underburn and an altitude raise of only 7 instead of 10 km.

Asiasat 3

 1997-086A


Asia Satellite Telecommunications' HS-601HP Asiasat 3, was to provide Asia-wide C-band coverage and 3 high power Ku band beams. Total power is 9.9 kW. Launched by Proton in Dec 1997, it was stranded in transfer orbit when the second DM3 burn failed, shutting down after only 1s of the 110s burn. Mass was 3480 kg launch, 2560 kg BOL, 1822? kg dry. Size 4m high, 3.1m wide, 26.2m span.

Asiasat 3 was to have replaced Asiasat 1 at 105.5E, with the latter satellite moving to 122E.

In mid 1998 a remarkable rescue strategy evolved: a lunar gravity assist. Asiasat 3 became the property of Hughes Global Services (HGS) in Apr 1998 and was informally renamed HGS-1. The apogee was raised in stages until a TLI burn in May placed it on a free-return lunar flyby trajectory.

In Apr 1999 HGS-1 was purchased by PanAmSat and renamed PAS 22.
