Soyuz 4

  1969-004A

---

7K-OK (11F615) No. 12 was launched on 1969 Jan 14 with pilot Vladimir Shatalov aboard.

After docking, Soyuz-5 bortinzhener (flight engineer) Aleksey Yeliseev and inzhener-ispitatel' (test engineer) Yevgeniy Khrunov transferred from the BO of Soyuz-5 to that of Soyuz-4. The Yastreb spacesuits had life support systems strapped to the legs, to allow the astronauts to fit through the 0.66m diameter BO hatches (later missions had enlarged hatches).

Khrunov went outside first, then returned to the compartment because he had connected Yeliseyev's suit to external supply instead of his own. After he transferred and connected to Soyuz-5, Yeliseyev made the transfer. The Yastreb spacesuits were left in the Soyuz-5 orbital module.

Kosmos 1100

 1979-042A

---

The fourth and final LVI flight was a partial failure; one VA, VA No. 102A, was severely damaged on landing when the power system malfunctioned during descent. VA No. 102 may have been recovered. VAs No. 103/1 and 103/2, planned for LVI-5, were reassigned.

E-6LS No. 113 was launched on 1968 Apr 7 and named Luna-14. Luna-14 entered orbit around the Moon on Apr 10 and transmitted until sometime in June. Like Kosmos-159, it was based on Luna-12 and used for communications testing. It tested components for the piloted lunar L-3 project and mapped mascons.

Kosmos 41

 1964-049D

---

The second Molniya-1, No. 1 (F2) was designated Kosmos-41 after launch into an approximately 12 hour elliptical orbit. The communication antennae failed to deploy but the orbit engine and a secondary radiation experiment operated for several months.

Launch vehicle was R10336 according to Varlomeyev, G10319 according to Glazami. Chertok reports that the parabolic antennae failed to deploy but the satellite operated for 9 months for tests of spacecraft control.

In May 2004, Space Command swapped the names for 00869 (originally tagged as Kosmos-41) and 00898 (originally tagged as the Blok-L stage).

MTI

 2000-014A

---

MTI is the Multispectral Thermal Imager, P97-3. MTI will demonstrate multispectral and thermal imaging technology for both military and civilian applications, mainly to study applications for treaty monitoring. MTI carries a piggyback experiment, the HXRS sensor to give advance warning of hard X-ray solar events. Mass is 597 kg. Size is 2.5m h 1.22m dia and 4.1m span. Launch by Taurus in late 1999. Sponsor is the DoE Office of Nonproliferation and National Security. MTI was shipped to Sandia SNL/Albequerque in Jul 1999. Sandia integrated the satellite using a bus designed in collaboration with Ball.

Control from Albequerque.

Launch by AF Taurus 1110 with 63 inch fairing.

STS-98 (Atlantis)

 2001-006A

---

Launch mass of STS-98 is 115527 kg; landing mass 90223 kg. Destiny is to be connected to Unity.

At the end of the docked phase, orbiter mass is 95242 kg and Station mass is 104690 kg for a total mass of 199932 kg. Deployed mass is 14637 kg, retrieved 396 kg. IVA cargo 1377 kg (inc 130? kg EMU and 450 kg CWC), Lab 13547, other EVA 167 (SASA 103, PDGF 35, unknown 31) total 15091 - discrepancy of 454 kg, may be the CWCs.

Adopted RevL Other Destiny 13547 13691 14056 PDGF 33 + 45 = 78 34 + 37 = 71 SASA 103 + 120 = 223 103 + 163 = 266 Other 69 Middeck 1377 781-539

EVA-1 will see move of PMA-2,

Ivins grappled the PMA-2; then electrically controlled bolts were released, the external cabling having been removed on STS-97, making PMA-2 ready for undocking (with the crew playing the song 'Please Release Me' down to the ground).

Destiny contam cover removal, PMA-2 storage on Z1, Destiny unberth and docking, and connecting umbilicals between Destiny and Z1. EVA-2 will move PMA-2 to Destiny's ACBM. Thermal covers on Destiny trunnions. Slidewire installation; vent installation on ECLSS pressure control assembly (PCA). Then the PDGF (Power and Data Grapple Fixture) will be moved from Atlantis to Destiny. The nadir window shutter will be installed on EVA-3, as will the spare SASA, and PMA-2 to Destiny umbilicals will be connected.

The `incapacitated crew member test' on EVA-3 evaluated two methods of transferring one astronaut pretending to be unconscious. The first method, daisy-chain, with two tethers chained together, worked better than the second `strap' method because there was more distance between the incapacitated astronaut and their rescuer, and so less chance of bumping them and sending them spinning. The astronauts worked within the payload bay for this test.

After undocking, the crew's return to Earth was delayed several times due to bad weather at KSC, and finally Atlantis was brought back to Edwards on Feb 20.

Gambit 30

  1966-062A

---

KH-7 30 was launched on 1966 Jul 12 by Atlas Agena D from Vandenberg's Space Launch Complex 4-East on a 7 day flight. SLC4E was the new name for PALC2-4. Flight 30 flew in a 148 x 272 km orbit; by Jul 17 this had decayed to 135 x 234 km but the apogee was raised to 294 km by Jul 19.
