STSAT-2
2009-F03
The KSLV-1 launched 2009 from KHSC (Ko-Hoeung Space Center) 127.54E 34.43N, renamed Naro Space Center, on Oenaro I., S Chola province with Science Technology Satellite 2,

mass 100 kg.
Naro-1/KSLV-1 stage 1 is Angara, with 170t thrust and 140t mass, 2.9m dia. Stage 2 is Hanwha Corp solid motor described as '8 ton class', derived from the smaller-diameter KSR-1 motor. Total height 33m dia 2.9m. Stage 2 length possibly 7.8m, motor is around 2.0m long around 1.0m diameter.
STSat-2 box + 2 panels by KAIST/SatRec, 0.6 x 0.6 x 0.93m span 1.8? Orbit will be 300 x 1500 km x 80 deg.
One of two 300 kg fairings failed to separate. The second stage separation happened late, at 327 km.
Estimate of masses: Pre burn: stage 2 full is 1440 full 200 empty (a complete guess, factor 2 at best). Payload is 100 kg + 300 kg fairing half. Engine is 80 kN for 44s, guess Isp = 290s. Then dV = 2.4 km/s?
Korea time is GMT+9.
Launch expected 1700 KT, 0800 UTC, 0400 EDT Aug 19.

STSS-1/2
2009-052A
STSS DEMO mission.
NGAS Space Tracking and Surveillance System, Block 06. Delta 2 heavy, 2007 - 2 satellites. Cancelled 99 but resurrected 04. Formerly SBIRS-Low. MDA manages the program, AFSPC and Northrop Grumman will operate it from Schriever AFB.
Possibly T310 bus. Both satellites on a single launch.
STSS 1 and 2 were designated USA 208 and 209 after launch. They are also called STSS-D. The satellites were built by Northrop Grumman for the US Missile Defense Agency and will monitor missile flights using infrared sensors. Mass of the spacecraft is around 1000 kg each and they are in a 1350 x 1350 km x 58 deg orbit.
Demonstrate advanced tech for missile defense missions using Raytheon-SAS/El Segundo IR payloads.
Box + 2 panels? Around 2 x 1 x 1m with 9?m span. Stacked directly on each other for launch on top of an 'orbit insertion stage' payload attach fitting. Total mass 2244 kg including OIS. Guess OIS is 200 kg giving 1022 kg each for payload. box around 2 x 1.0 x 0.6m.
Orbit 1350 x 1350 x 58.
