Something I might work on later,who knows?

 That's Terri MacGregor-Jeremiah behind the desk,she's my assistant and kinda my gal pal too. Her fiancĂ© (yes,she's already taken his surname) is Craig Jeremiah,one of the new teachers at the high school.

Hey,Cameron,I see you're filming,eh?

You're on candid camera,Ter! Mind being interviewed?

No,I don't. Lemme just.....okay,I'm ready.

So,what's your full name,anyway? I've always wanted to know.

Theresa Claire MacGregor-Jeremiah.

How about some basic facts about yourself? Nice skirt-thing,by the way.

Thanks,I got it on layaway at Clifton Park Center! I graduated from Green High in 2010.....you were class of '16,right?

Indeed.

I'm originally from Carmelide, moved here in 1997 with my family. My parents are Todd and Bethany MacGregor: they manage a chain of farms and farming-related businesses across the Northeast and Maritime States and are worth about $450,000. I have one older sister, Olivia, who graduated from GHS in 2005. I played JV and varsity soccer and varsity tennis in high school and I got to be prom queen in 2009 alongside Gavin Mason as king.

What about college?

I did three years at D'Youville in Buffalo,and I returned here in early 2015.

And Craig,what about him? I remember he went to school here.

Yep,he was class of '09. We started dating late in my senior year here.

Artemis

 2001-029A


The second ESA heavy communications technology satellite was the SAT-2/DM Advanced Relay Technology Mission (Artemis) was built by Alenia Spazio for ESA using the Italsat bus. Originally scheduled for launch in 1996  [693], the DRS precursor technology mission was delayed until 2000 and oriented to mobile and inter-satellite communications. In 1996 it was moved from Ariane 5 to the Japanese H-IIA, but was later moved back again after H-II delays. Mass is 3105 kg full. Size is 4.8h 8.0wide (with antennas) and 25m span.

4.86 x 2.85 x 2.95m, span 24.73m.

Artemis was placed above SYLDA, which contained BSAT-2B.

Artemis together with Inmarsat 3 AOR and IOR provides the EGNOS European GPS augmentation. It opeated as an IOR-W (Congo) satellite.

The S400 LAE will perform GEO insertion; relocation will be done by the set of 10N RCS biprop thrusters attached to the S400. Biprop load is 1538 kg. Ion propulsion will be used for NSSK. Artemis carries two DASA RIT-10 thrusters and two MMS EIT T5 thrusters with 40 kg of Xe. Isp is 3000s and thrust is 20mN. Deduced dry mass is 1527 kg.

The EPS stage only got to 80 percent of planned thrust and cutoff 1min 20sec early, because of a combustion instability in the Aestus engine. Designers annouced that mixing the propellant more slowly would fix the problem.

Artemis was later raised to a 30900 x 30940 km orbit, significantly below geosynchronous, and then finally by Feb 2003 to GEO.

Avanti bought the satellite in 2014 and in 2016 relocated it to 123E under a contract from the Indonesian ministry of defence, preserving Indonesia's rights to the old Garuda-1.
