DBS 1

 1993-078A


DirecTV, a subsidiary of Hughes HCI, ordered two Hughes HS-601 satellites for Ku-band DTH domestic US television broadcasting. The first DBS satellite was launched in Dec 1993, by which time DirecTV Inc. was a separate Hughes Electronics company and no longer part of HCI. Half of the satellite capacity was sold to US Satellite Broadcasting (USSB). The DBS 1 satellite had a mass of 1270 kg, with 1590 kg of fuel in GTO and 455 kg of fuel at BOL. The bus was 2.3 x 2.3 x 2.6 m in size with a 26.2 m solar panel span.

Thuraya 1

 2000-066A


The Emirates Telecommunications Corp. of Abu Dhabi (Etisalat) contracted for the Al Thuraya comsat system for Middle East mobile telephony services and spun off Thuraya Satellite Telecommunications. Thuraya uses a Boeing Satellite Systems (BSS) Boeing 702/GEM (Hughes HS-GEM, GEO Mobile) model with large 12.25m, 78 kg L-band antenna, based on the HS-702 bus. Power will be 13 kW. Launch 2000 May by Zenit-3SL, with HSC turning over the satellite to Thuraya after 4 months in orbit. Problems with the system meant that Thuraya Satellite Comms finally accepted the overall system in Feb 2002.

Mass is 5108 kg launch. Span is 34.5m. Location 44E.

In 2003, it was planned to lease the satellite to Planetel (California) to provide mobile comms to Asia. It moved to 52E in Aug-Sep 2003 and then to 98E in Jul 2004.

TES/Proba-1

 2001-049A


Technology (or Test) Evaluation Satellite.

ISRO imaging satellite to develop Indian reconnaissance capability. The TES project began in 1999 as a response to inadequate intelligence about a Pakistani incursion into Kashmir. 500 km orbit by PSLV. The satellite featured high torque reaction wheels and miniaturized power and control systems, as well as a new camera, a new propellant tank and reaction control systems. The satellite had 1-meter resolution and used a camera with about 70cm aperture.

\imps{2.5}{images/01049A002}

Mass is 1108 kg; launched with 94 kg PROBA and 92 kg BIRD. BIRD and PROBA are mounted on side platforms on the PS4 stage. TES was still operating in 2005 according to the 2005 ISRO report, and the 2015 Rao book implies it was still functioning after 14 years in space.

ESA smallsat with mass 100 kg, size 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.8m. 1200 km polar orbit by ISRO PSLV Jun 2000. To test satellite autonomy and microprocessor. Contractor is Verheart Design and Development NV of Kruibeke, Belgium using the MiniSIL bus of SI/Newbury-England. Control by SAS/Belgium via Redu.

The satellite was redesignated an ESA Earth Observation 'third party mission' after its techology mission was complete.

STS-109 (Columbia)

 2002-010A


Servicing Mission 3B was delayed to late 2000 following the addition of 3A and later slipped to 2002. ACS will replace FOC. ACS has three cameras. The WFC, with two 4096 x 2048 CCDs, has a 3.5' FOV and covers the 3700A -1 micron range. HRC, the High Resolution Channel, has a 0.45' FOV and a 1024 x 1024 CCD, covering the 2000 A to 1 micron range. SBC, the Solar Blind Channel, has a 0.5' FOV, a 1024 x 1024 PCA array and covers the 1100 - 1800A range.

EVA 1: install SA and diode box, -V2. (RAC) Install wire harness to diode box. Install thermal covers on WFPC and bays. EVA-2, install SA and diode box, +V2. (RAC) Replace RWA (MULE). EVA 3: Power controller unit replacement (SAC). Telescope completely powered down. Thermal covers installed to protect critical equipment. EVA 4: swap FOC for ACS (SAC); ESM (MULE). Demate FOC and stow on sill; install CASH wire harness for cooling system; install ACS. EVA 5: Install NICMOS cryocooler (SAC); then install NCS radiator (MULE).

Launch mass 116987 kg, landing mass 100562 kg. MECO mass 115817 kg. MECO orbit 56 x 571 x 28.5 deg.
