MSU's Explorer-1 [Prime] satellite was launched early Oct. The first three stages of the Proton will use a standard ascent profile to place the orbital unit (Breeze M Upper Stage and the SES-6 satellite) into a sub-orbital trajectory. Due out in October 2013 this 'out of this world' film will star Sandra Bullock as the newbie astronaut embarking on her very first shuttle mission and George Clooney as the veteran accompanying her on his final space voyage before retirement. At the end up April, NASA launched three tiny satellites -- Alexander, Graham and Bell -- each built around a smartphone that was responsible not only for taking pictures from low-earth orbit, but also all the avionics for NASA collected this data at its Ames Research Center, but in keeping with the budget-minded approach to this mission, volunteer amateur radio operators around the world helped out with collecting more than 200 of the image data packets. After a 15-hour, 31-minute mission, the satellite was placed into the target orbit by the Proton launcher. Lyle This useful resource deals with satellite orbits, showing how the wide range of available orbits can be used in communications, positioning, remote-sensing. Geological Survey EROS Center in Sioux Falls will officially take over the Landsat 8 satellite mission from NASA on Thursday. USGS Takes Over a Satellite Mission from NASA. MSU satellite orbits the Earth after early morning launch. Orbital will provide its LEOStar-2 spacecraft platform and conduct systems integration and test for the Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) mission at its Dulles, VA satellite design and production facilities. Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne engines provided the power to successfully place the fifth in a series of Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS-5) communication satellites into orbit today for the U.S. "A major goal of these satellite missions is to better define the water cycle," said Bulusu. "The spatial and temporal coverage will be much better, which will definitely help global ocean and climate models. CHENNAI: The Indian space odyssey crossed a historic landmark on Sunday when a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C21) put in orbit two foreign. This artist's illustration shows it in orbit. But unlike Sputnik, which returned to Earth after 3 short months in orbit some have refused to come home, such as the US Vanguard 1 satellite which is the oldest satellite still orbiting in Earth's low orbit after its launch in 1958. On a rainy night at the European Spaceport located along the tropical coast of French Guiana, the Vega launch vehicle successfully rocketed into space and completed its mission of deploying three new satellites into orbit.
