MESSENGER

 2004-030A


Selected as Discovery mission 1999 Jul.

The Mercury Surface, Space Environment, Geochemistry and Ranging mission will be a Mercury orbiter (S. Solomon/Carnegie-DC). Built and managed by APL with SOC at APL.

Mass 1130 kg, 513 kg dry. Spacecraft is 1.42m tall, 1.85m wide and 1.27m deep with a 2.5 x 2.0m front-mounted sunshade and a 6.0-m span pair of solar panels, and 3.6-m mag boom.

MESSENGER will study the geology of Mercury's surface, its magnetic field, and its gravity field.

The initial insertion was about 2 sigma off; target insertion B-plane miss for Earth-1 was about 0.2M km but actual value was 2.3Mkm (OD003, Williams et al 2005). Hence, the third stage did not reenter the Earth gravisphere during Earth-1.

Ekspress 3

 2000-013A


Intersputnik's Ekspress A2 will be stationed at the 80E Ekspress 6A location. The satellite was built for Gos. pred. Kosmicheskaya Svyaz (GPKS)lthe Intersputnik operator.

The second Ekspress A Russian communications satellite was successfully launched on Mar 12 by a Krunichev Proton-K from Baykonur. Ekspress A No. 2 will be assigned to the Ekspress 6A slot at 80E, providing communications for GO Kosmicheskaya Svyaz. The Ekspress A is built by NPO PM, with a communications payload from Alcatel. The spacecraft is also known as Ekspress 14.

Launch mass was 2600 kg.
