ICO F2

 2001-026A

---

ICO F2 was the first New ICO (former ICO Global Communications) satellite to launch after the reorganization under Craig McCaw. ICO Global is based in the Cayman Islands and the satellite was registered by the UK.

In 2010 ICO moved to Kirkland, Wash from Reston. In July 2011 ICO became Pendrell Corp. of Kirkland, Washington. after the sale of subsidiary DBSD to Dish Network. A ground station was located at Brewster, Washington.

In Mar 2012 the satellite was reported to have been passivated and abandoned. However in 2013 Space News reported that Sirion Global Pty Ltd. claimed to have reserved bandwith on the satellite, allegedly now owned by Omnispace.

TIMED

 2001-055B

---

Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics. Originally 2 S/C in 95 deg and 49 deg orbits with propulsion systems 1997: One S/C built by APL, launch Jan 2000 by Delta 2.

TIMED is part of the NASA Solar Connections program and is the first Solar Terrestrial Probe.

Mission will study coupling of mesosphere to the lower thermosphere and ionosphere, the MLTI region. GUVI measures composition and temperature profile, and auroral energy input; SEE studies the solar energy input, SABER measures atmospheric cooling rates and pressure and temperature, and TIDI measures wind and temperature profiles.

Program management is at GSFC with control center at APL. Mass 587 kg. Box + 2 inclined panels. 1.6m dia 2.7m high 11.7 span.

In 2006, the mission was extended to 2010.

Stardust

 1999-003A

---

The fourth Discovery mission, Stardust was launched in Feb 1999. The Lockheed-Martin Denver built spacecraft (LM SpaceProbe bus) will fly past at 6.1 km/s in Jan 2004 100 km from 81P/Wild 2 and recover cometary material using an aerogel substance. The encounter will take place 1.9 AU from the Sun. A return capsule would land on a lake bed in Utah in Jan 2006.

Stardust uses Denver's Space Probe bus with a return vehicle, the Sample Reentry Capsule (SRC). The SRC is passive, and the Stardust bus orients it for entry before separating. The navigation camera is a Voyager spare. Probe mass is 385 kg full including the 46 kg 0.50m high 0.81m dia SRC and 85 kg of hydrazine.

Craft is 1.7m high 0.66 x 0.66m dia 4.8m array span.

In 2000 the Stardust nav camera developed problems with fogging; a series of heating cycles cleared up the problem well enough for navigation at the crucial Jan 2001 flyby of Earth.

In 2002 it flew past Annefrank, which was used as an engineering test of encounter procedures.

The 2004 comet encounter saw Stardust fly directly through at least two jets emanating from the nucleus; it passed about 250 km from the nucleus.

Stardust approaches Earth from a 0.98 x 2.68 AU x 3.6 deg orbt. The divert burn lowers the final aphelion, and puts it onto a 0.92 x 1.70 AU x 1.9 deg orbit.

Target landing location was 113 27W 40 19N. Actual landing location was 113 31 20W 40 22 06N.

Star 37FM is 1147 kg full 74 kg burnout with ISP 289.8s.

Dragon CRS-1

 2012-054A

---

The first Commercial Resupply Services flight was launched in Oct 2012. Launch mass was 7426 kg. No trunk cargo was carried.

The Falcon 9 no. 1 engine failed one minute after launch; the system compensated to reach the correct SECO-1 orbit, using up some of the propellant intended for the second Stage 2 burn. The second burn was automatically cancelled because of the requirement to make sure that any underburn didn't result in an orbit which would re-intersect the ISS, and the Orbcomm secondary payload was ejected in the SECO-1 orbit.
