Beidou 13

 2011-038A

---

CALT called the satellite Beidou-2 IGSO-4 (Beidou er hao IGSO-4 weixing). The Xinhua news agency mostly refers to it as 9th Beidou Navigation Satellite (di jiu ke Beidou daohang weixing) although it does also describe it as 'Beidou daohang xitong (Compass Navigation System) zu wang (networking) de di si ke (4th) qingxidei (inclined) qiu (geo) tongbu (synchronous) guidao (orbit) weixing (satellite)'. I will use the 'Beidou daohang weixing 9' or 'Beidou DW9' for short, as a reasonable English-alphabet rendering of the name used by Xinhua.

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.

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.
