OGO 5

  1968-014A


The OGO 5 payload was launched at 1306:01 on 1968 Mar 4 by an Atlas Agena D. OGO 5 had two 9m radio astronomy antennas. The satellite studied the plasmapause region of the magnetosphere. Agena 6503 delivered Orbiting Geophysical Observatory 5 into a 232 x 148228 km x 31.1 deg orbit and the satellite was operational on Mar 16. Attitude control failed on 1971 Aug 6 and the satellite was put on standby on 1971 Oct 8. 3 experiments were turned back on on 1972 Jun 1, and OGO 5 was finally decommissioned on 1972 Jul 14.

Wind

 1994-071A


The Wind satellite, built by Martin Marietta Astro Space for NASA-GSFC, was the first of two Global Geospace Science missions. It was launched at 0931 on 1994 Nov 1 by a Delta from Cape Canaveral into a highly elliptical 162 x 422091 km orbit. After a lunar flyby, Wind will enter a 29000 x 1600000 km orbit and then will enter an L1 halo orbit. The cylindrical satellite is 2.4m diameter, 1.8m high and has a dry mass of 895 kg with 368 kg of hydrazine.

The Z axis booms were only partly extended after launch because of concerns about loads during maneuvers; they were fully extended in Nov 1996.

In 1997 WIND went to the L1 point and cross-calibrated with ACE, and then in 1998 made two more lunar passes. In Oct 1998 WIND was transferred to a petal orbit of 5-10 x 80 Re taking Wind to 60 deg out of the ecliptic plane to sample previously unstudied regions of the magnetosphere. In Apr 1999, a 'backflip' sent Wind past the moon to flip into a high ecliptic latitude pass around the Earth.

In 2002-2003 Wind was placed in a trajectory which made excursions to L1 and L2; in 2004 Wind was to take up station at L1 to serve as a backup to ACE.

Indostar

 1997-071B


Indostar (Cakrawarta-1) is a 1385 kg light GEO comsat, built by CTA Inc of McLean, Virginia. (formerly DSI, but Orbital Sciences Corp. by the time of launch) for PT MediaCitra Indostar, a subsidiary of Bimentara Citra of Jakarta, Indonesia which will use it for digital direct to home TVRO (TV Receive Only) and digital radio broadcast. It carries a hydrazine propulsion system built by Olin Corp and a Thiokol Star 30E apogee motor. The satellite uses S-band to ensure transmission through Indonesia's common heavy rain. The satellite uses a three axis stabilized StarBus bus and will be launched by Ariane 4 in Oct 1997.

Mass is 1385 kg launch, 805 kg BOL, and 643 kg dry. Bus is 2.49 x 2.03 x 3.8m with a 16.1m span. Power is 2 kW.

Location was 107E.
