Intelsat 701

 1993-066A

---

The Intelsat 7 series of satellites were built by Space Systems/Loral using the FS-1300 bus. The satellites are scaled up versions of the Intelsat 5/Superbird/Arabsat series. Launch mass was 3650 kg and dry mass was 1425 kg.

Intelsat 701 was slated for the POR.

Sirius 3

 2000-035A

---

The first Digital Audio Radio Satellite for CD Radio of Washington D.C was built by SS-Loral using the FS-1300 bus. DARS 2 and 3 will also be similar. The satellites will provide high-quality digital radio broadcasts to automobiles in the US.

Launch mass 3800 kg; 1570 kg dry.

In 1998 the decision was made to move the satellites to highly elliptical orbits of 24000 x 47000 km. The 24-hour period orbit inclined at 63 deg had apogee over N America.

Dawn

 2007-043A

---

Dawn will take 9 years to orbit Vesta and Ceres. Uses DS1 type ion engine: 3 NSTAR Xe thrusters. Star-2 bus with LEOStar-2 avionics and NASA/JPL NSTAR propulsion.

Size is 1.64 x 1.27 x 1.77m with 19.7m span.

Mass 1217.7 kg full, 746.9 kg dry with 425.2 kg of Xe and 45.6 kg of hydrazine (Marc Rayman, personal comm.)

288 kg of Xe are used to get to Vesta; 89 kg more are needed to get to Ceres. Orbit insertion is done with a hydrazine engine.

Launch by Delta 7925H to C3 = 10.91 km2/s2.

RHill is 40220 km.

For Sep 26 launch, C3 = 11.40 km2/s2

800 to 100 km orbits.

JPL mission, PI at UCLA, OSC/Dulles contractor, derived from Indostar.

The mission will give multicolor imagery of Vesta and Ceres, and optical and infrared surface spectra; topographic profiles at 30-meter resolution, and measurements of the gravity and magnetic fields. Chemical composition will be found via the gamma ray spectrometer.
