Arabsat 4A

 2006-006A


EADS Astrium Eurostar 2000+ satellite; 4B to follow. Launch by ILS Proton 535-11/Briz M 88515 Comms payload by Alcatel. Also called BADR-ONE.

Briz-M failed in transfer orbit; MES-2 ended 3min10s early. Planned duration was 21 min. Since the satellite contract was for on-orbit delivery, the satellite was presumably owned by Astrium in orbit. After the failure, a European insurance group took ownership (J. Oberg, http://www.nbcnews.com/id/11999597/ns/technologyandscience-space/t/arabsat-bites-dust-dashing-hopes)

Mass 3341 kg full 1520 dry 2.5 x 1.8 x 2.9m with 7.5 x 32.0 x 4.5m deployed.

Soyuz TMA-11 (Agate)

 2007-045A


No 221, launch by Soyuz FG No 020 on ISS flight 15S.

Crew are Yuriy Malenchenko (Soyuz commander), Peggy Whitson (ISS commander) and Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Al Masrie (EP-13 crew).

On the way down, Whitson and Malenchenko were joined by Yi Soyeon of South Korea. The PAO failed to separate at the correct time, the spacecraft tumbled and was exposed to strong heating. The resulting ballistic reentry led to a landing 475 km short of the target.

Planned landing was at 50 57 N 67 10 E, actual landing was at 50 31 N 61 07E, 278 km E of Aktyubinsk.  

Mass 7220 kg, of which 1309 kg in BO and 2859 kg in SA. Prop is 879 kg.
