Earth Orbiter 1
2000-075A
EO-1 is the first Earth observing mission in the New Millenium Program, managed by NASA-GSFC. This is a next generation Landsat flight demo and will fly in the same orbit as Landsat 7 for comparisons, about one minute behind. Formation flying will involve a hydrazine thruster.
A PPT plasma thruster, with an SI of order 1000s, will be used for experimental attitude control.
The spacecraft frame is built by Swales Aerospace/Colorado Springs with heritage based on the MIDEX bus (also used for MAP). Mass is 588 kg full 566 dry (22 kg hydrazine). 2 kg of hydrazine will be used to reach initial orbit. Shape hexagon + 1 panel. 1.25dia 0.73high. Span about 5.5m.
The ALI has multispectral (30m) and panchromatic (10m) bands from 4000A to 2.5 microns, with a 36 km swath with a 0.12m SiC telescope.
In 2005, EO-1 entered an extended mission. It was taken out of formation with Landsat-7 and the orbit was slowly lowered while science operations continued. Orbit lowering was intended to reduce orbital life but in Mar 2017 when it was retired still in relatively high orbit, it was expected to stay up for another 4 decades.

AGILE
2007-013A
AGILE (Astrorivelatore Gamma ad Imagini Leggero, Light Gamma-Ray Imaging Astronomical Detector) was developed for ASI using Carlo Gavazzi Space Spa/Milano MITA bus and CGS project management. PSLV to 550 x 550 x 6 deg, mass 352 kg. Perigee was a little low (523 km instead of 550 km).
PSLV modified to carry light payload; no PSOM and 400 kg of prop offloaded from the PS4 stage.
Sensitivity less than EGRET on-axis, but much better off-axis performance. 2.5 sr FOV. GRID has 5' to 20' resolution. The GRID MC (MiniCalorimeter) will also detect bursts in the 0.3-200 MeV range and Super-AGILE will give simultaneous hard X-ray data.
The AGILE (Light Imager for Gamma Astrophysics)
Launched with PSLV Advanced Avionics Module (180 kg) inside the Dual Launch Adapter.
SUPER AGILE 4 x 1D coded masks bibcode NIM-A 581, 728F Feroci et al 2007 45 sources seen to date, mostly XBs, some AGN, 2 GRB
In 2009 the reaction wheel malfunctioned, ending AGILE's ability to point at targets. Following this, AGILE was spun around the sun-pointing axis at 1 degree per second, surveying 70 percent of the sky each day.

Kodama
2002-042B
DRTS, a Data Relay Test Satellite for data relay and intersatellite communications, was built by Mitsubishi. DRTS was named Kodama ('echo'). Originally two satellites were to be launched, but DRTS-E was cancelled in 2001 and only DRTS-W was retained.
DRTS was a box + 2 panels + antenna, mass 2800 kg launch, 1500 kg BOL. 1300 kg dry. Size 2.2 x 2.4 x 2.2m with 17m span. The 1700N IHI COMETS UPS was downrated to 500N for a gentler burn. Ka/S band 3.6m dia dish. At 90E. Kodama was launched in 2002 by H2A. The third apogee firing failed due to oxidizer depletion. RCS firings later got Kodama to GEO at 90.8E.
Carried out the High Speed Data Relay Experiment, 240 Mbit/s; High Accuracy Acquisition and Tracking Tech Expt., for onboard acquisition of the satellites that DRTS relays from and to; and the Communications Network Experiment, with time allocation methods on user satellites. Kodama relayed some Earth images from Midori-II; after that satellite failed, Kodama had to wait for the launch of Daichi.

STS-120 (Discovery)
2007-050A
Mission 10A with Node 2 Harmony.
Landing mass 90713 kg. OMS prop 11308 kg. Node2 + PDGF mass 14371 kg per media reports, or 14355 kg per MR. Assume PDGF is 33 kg.
MBSU 2nd spare ORU on GABA beam up on STS-102, stow on ESP-2 nadir. The GABA beam is 80 kg, 122 kg including interface plate assembly. The ORU integrated assembly is 238 kg. SASA mass transferred from ISS 108 kg.
Another beam carries FSE to support the return of a SASA antenna to Earth.
RMS 202; IBA 203.
Parazynski is EV1 (STS EMU 3004), Wheelock is EV2 (STS EMU 3003), Tani is EV3 (3018), Whitson EV4 (3018), and Malenchenko EV5 (3006).
EVA-1. Para/Wheelock, retrieve SASA, prep Node 2, disconnect P6 umbilicals and install SSU shroud.
EVA-2 (Para/Tani), P6 disconnect, detach; node 2 outfitting, prep MBSU, install PDGF on Node 2.
EVA-3 (Para/Wheelock): P6 install on P5, connect, transfer MBSU.
EVA-4 (Para/Wheelock): T-RAD DTO 848.
EVA-5 (Whitson/Malenchenko): Umbilicals, CBM work, mate cables.
Pre-OMS-2 mass 116298 kg; post OMS-2 113665 kg.
