GOES 3

 1978-062A

---

Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 03 (GOES C) was the last of the first generation Ford GOES satellites. It was launched at 1049:30 on 1978 Jun 16 by Delta 2914 from Cape Canaveral. It was assigned as the GOES West (135 deg W) satellite for the FGGE experiment and remained at this position until replaced by GOES 4 on 1980 Oct 21. In 1981 a tungsten lamp in the VISSR imager failed and in late 1981 it was moved to 90W. In 1984 Oct it was moved off station again, returning to the GOES W position by 1985 Jan.

From 1996 GOES 3 was parked at 105W. In the 1990s it was used by the Pacific Ocean PEACESAT network for communications. In 2006 it was being operated via the University of Miami supporting S Polar comms.

STS-116 (Discovery)

 2006-055A

---

STS-116 will dock with the ISS on mission 12A.1. Launch mass is 120413 kg, landing is 102217 kg.

Sunita Williams will transfer to the Ex14 crew, joining Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin. Tomas Reiter joins the STS-116 crew.

Discovery's RMS is used to unberth the P5 spacer and hand it to the SSRMS. On EVA-1 (Quest), Curbeam and Fuglesang help install P5 to P4. Then, the port half of the P6 array, side 4B, is powered down and retracted and a TCS is filled with NH3. P3/P4 SARJ solar tracking is now activated. P1-3A DDCU-E thermal covers are removed.

P6 carries 2B and 4B power channels; P4 has 2A and 4A. S4 has 1A/3A, S6 has 1B/3B.

Now, US Segment is configured to get power from P4-2A and P6-4B via MBSU 2 and 3 and EATCS Loop B.

Then, P6 4B is deactivated and US segment is configured for power via P4-4A and MBSU 1 and 4, via EATCS Loop A. S1-4B and S0-4B DDCU-E thermal covers removed.

On EVA-2, Curbeam and Fuglesang reroute power channel 2/3 through the MBSUs. The MBSUs need the ammonia TCS to be working. During this work, channel 1/4 is carrying the load for the entire ISS.

On EVA-3, Williams and Curbeam route power channel 1/4 through their MBSUs while the station runs off channel 2/3.

At last, the P4 arrays will be activated. MT will be moved to the S1 end of the truss. to await S3/S4.

Finally, the SMDPs and adapter are transferred to PMA-3 aft GF.

After undocking, the STP-H2 payloads will be deployed.

According to Spacehab, LSM is 5399 kg full 2858 kg empty. ICC is 839 empty, with 1657 kg of payload. TA is 112 kg. STS 116 cargo transfer MD to ISS 592 kg plus 140 kg consumables, SHAB to ISS 1620 kg; ISS to MD 610 kg, ISS to SHAB 1617 kg.

COROT (Convection, Rotation and Planetary Transits), a CNES satellite for astroseismology and extrasolar planet transit photometry search, using the Proteus bus. 600 kg mass. Launch mid 2006 by Soyuz-2-1b No. 001 from Baykonur within 14D23 upper stage engine and Fregat No. 1013 fourth stage and S (4m) fairing. ESA provides the 0.30m telescope. There are two 0.27m afocal off-axis parabolic mirrors.

Launch mass 626 kg. (605 kg PK). Size 4.10m long 1.98m dia. Box-cyl + 2 panels. Height 9m in orbit. Span unknown.

Prop system with 90m/s delta-V. The telescope is by LAM/Marseille, the detector by LEISA/Paris-Meudon. Control from Toulouse. Spacecraft by Alcatel Alenia Space/Cannes.

After a successful mission the science operations ended in 2012. The spacecraft's orbit was lowered in Jan 2014 and the vehicle was decommissioned in Jun 2014.

In 2011, acquired by Eutelsat and moved to 1.6E to the ITU-registered F-Sat-Ku-E-1.6E location [947], but shortly afterwards moved to 3.0E and renamed Eutelsat 3A. It later moved to 8W before retirement.

The Singapore-Taiwan-1 (ST-1) satellite (Singasat) is a Eurostar 2000+ built by Matra Marconi Space/France. It was launched by Ariane 44P. The project is a joint venture between Singapore Telecom (SingTel) and Chunghwa Telecom of Taiwan. Mass is 3255 kg full, 1753 kg BOL, 1502 kg dry. Size is 2.5 x 1.7 m x 2.9m The satellite was stationed at 88E, raising concerns about conflicts with the nearby Chinastar.

In 2001, SingTel also absorbed the Optus satellite system. The satellite was relocated in 2013 to 125E and then moved again.

The Cluster Flight Model 5 satellite was refurbished after the Ariane 5 failure to become Project Phoenix. It was renamed Rumba. It was launched with Cluster FM8 on a Soyuz in Jul 2000. into a 250 x 250 km x 51.8 deg orbit. A Fregat kick stage raises the orbit to 250 x 18000 km x ?. Then the satellites separate from the kick stage and use their S400 engines to get to the 4 x 19.6 Re orbit. 25500 x 125000 km polar.

Mass of Cluster/Fregat at Blok I sep is 7847 kg. After MECO-1 mass is 6810 kg.

The Blok I suffered an 3.5s underburn,possibly due to the stage having too little fuel loaded. The Fregat made up the difference. A report said that the second Fregat burn went till depletion, but other indications are that the Fregat did make a third deorbit burn since Space Command tracked it with a negative perigee after apogee.

Cluster FM5 was known after launch as Rumba and as C1.
