These powerful solar eruptions are a major source of the magnetic disruptions on Earth and a key component of space weather, which can greatly affect satellite operations, communications, power systems, the lives of humans in space, and global climate. STEREO is the third mission in NASA's Solar Terrestrial Probes Program. The twin observatories launched aboard a single Boeing Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla., on Oct. 25, 2006, at 8:52 p.m. EDT. STEREO is sponsored by NASA Headquarters' Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center's Solar Terrestrial Probes Program Office, in Greenbelt, Md., manages the mission, instruments and science center. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), in Laurel, Md., designed and built the spacecraft and will operate the twin observatories for NASA during the mission. The two spacecraft are launched to drift slowly away from the Earth in opposite directions at about 10 degrees per year for the lagging spacecraft and 20 degrees per year for the leading one. Optimal longitudinal separation of about sixty degrees is achieved after two years. Afterwards the separation gradually increases beyond the design lifetime of two years with the possibility of extended mission observations at larger angles. Science instruments selected for STEREO include the Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation (SECCHI) for extreme ultraviolet (EUV), white-light coronographic, and heliospheric imaging, the STEREO/WAVES (SWAVES) interplanetary radio burst tracker, the In situ Measurements of Particles and CME Transients (IMPACT) investigation for in-situ sampling the 3-D distribution and plasma characteristics of solar energetic particles and the interplanetary magnetic field, and the PLAsma and SupraThermal Ion and Composition (PLASTIC) experiment to measure elemental and charge composition of ambient and CME plasma ions. STEREO data recorded and stored onboard each spacecraft will be downlinked through the NASA Deep Space Network on a daily schedule. Real-time space weather data will be continuously transmitted through a separate beacon system to NASA and non-NASA receiving stations.

Design of the Fokker F27 started in the 1950s as a replacement to the successful DC-3 airliner. The manufacturer evaluated a number of different configurations before finally deciding on a high wing twin Rolls-Royce Dart engine layout with a pressurised cabin for 28 passengers. The first prototype, registered PH-NIV, first flew on 24 November 1955. The second prototype and initial production machines were 3 ft (0.9 m) longer, addressing the first aircraft's slightly tail-heavy handling and also providing space for more (32) passengers. These aircraft also used the more powerful Dart Mk 528 engine. The first production model, the F27-100, was delivered to Aer Lingus in September 1958. In 1956 Fokker signed a licensing deal with the US aircraft manufacturer Fairchild for the latter to construct the F27 in the USA. The first U.S.-built aircraft flew on 12 April 1958. Fairchild also independently developed a stretched version, called the FH-227. At the end of the Fokker F27s production in 1987, 793 units had been built (including 207 in the USA by Fairchild), which makes it the most successful western European civil turboprop airliner. Many aircraft have been modified from passenger service to cargo or express-package freighter roles. In the early 1980s, Fokker developed a successor to the Friendship, the Fokker 50. Although based on the F27-500 airframe, the Fokker 50 is virtually a new aircraft with Pratt & Whitney Canada engines and modern systems. Its general performance and passenger comfort were improved over the F27.

The first production model, the F27-100, was delivered to Aer Lingus in September 1958.In 1956 Fokker signed a licensing deal with the US aircraft manufacturer Fairchild for the latter to construct the F27 in the USA. The first U.S.-built aircraft flew on 12 April 1958. Fairchild also independently developed a stretched version, called the FH-227.At the end of the Fokker F27s production in 1987, 793 units had been built (including 207 in the USA by Fairchild), which makes it the most successful western European civil turboprop airliner.Many aircraft have been modified from passenger service to cargo or express-package freighter roles.In the early 1980s, Fokker developed a successor to the Friendship, the Fokker 50. Although based on the F27-500 airframe, the Fokker 50 is virtually a new aircraft with Pratt & Whitney Canada engines and modern systems. Its general performance and passenger comfort were improved over the F27. 2022-02-17 12:30:20.0 2024-04-11 BeiDou-3 M11 Date=2024-04-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=BeiDou-3 M11 [067c1ffc-212c-42c4-8980-b3bb2e49e8e8,1648480] - Beidou (China's Satellite Navigation System) [ef679d6a-a05b-4976-a236-ce2158b758ea,1638950] Date=2024-04-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: BeiDou Satellite 3 M11 language code: en Date=2024-04-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: In the first decade of the 21st century, China is in the process of developing its own navigation satellite constellation known as CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System), or BeiDou-2 in its Chinese name. BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched.

Cosmos-1500 was a precursor to the operational Russian Okean ('Ocean') series of oceanographic remote sensing missions. Cosmos-1500 was launched into a 649 x 679 km orbit at 82.6 deg. inclination. The Cosmos-1500 tested new sensors and methods of data collection and processing. Cosmos-1500 had the capability of overlapping and processing images from its sensors. Data from Cosmos-1500 were sent directly to ships or automated data receiving stations and was applied in navigation in northern oceans. The instrument complement was highlighted by an all-weather X-band Side-Looking Real Aperature radar (SLRAR) operating at 9.5 GHz. other instruments included a multispectral scanner (MSL), a scanning high-frequency radiometer (SHF), and transponders for collecting data from ice and buoy transmitters.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: COSMOS 1500 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: COSMOS Short_Name: COSMOS 1500 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: COSMOS 1500 End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 82.5 degrees Period: 95.8 min Perigee: 546 km Apogee: 565 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-09-12 Online_Resource: http://www.n2yo.com/satellite.php?s=14372 Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1983-09-28 Primary_Sponsor: Russia End_GroupEnd_Group PIPER AZTEC Date=2021-11-17 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=PIPER AZTEC [03c57589-9fc0-4ffb-b0c4-73a6e065a74f,825927] - Aircraft [227d9c3d-f631-402d-84ed-b8c5a562fc27,826065] Date=2022-02-17 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=The Piper PA-23, named Apache and later Aztec, was an American twin-engined monoplane, the first twin-engine aircraft built by Piper Aircraft.

In 1958, the Apache 160 was produced by upgrading the engines to 160 hp (119 kW), and 816 were built before being superseded by the Apache 235, which went to 235 hp (175 kW) engines and swept tail surfaces (119 built). Declining sales of the Apache prompted the redesign dubbed PA-23-250 Aztec, with 250 hp (186 kW) Lycoming. The first models were delivered with O-540 Lycoming carburetor engines. These first models came in a five-seat configuration which became available in 1959. The later models of the Aztec were equipped with IO-540 fuel-injected engines and six-seat capacity, and continued in production until 1982. There were also turbocharged versions of the later models, which were able to fly at higher altitudes.

Also known as “D2,” the vehicle is operated off NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer with its sister vehicle, Seirios. Capable of diving to depths of 3.7 miles (6,000 meters), D2 provides scientists unprecedented access to the deep ocean. The main capability of Deep Discoverer is the ability to capture high-definition video, with the vehicle’s primary camera able to zoom in on a three-inch long organism from 10 feet away. D2’s 20 LED lights provide 150,000 lumens of light, illuminating the otherwise dark depths of the ocean. Equipped with two manipulator arms, Deep Discoverer is capable of collecting both biological and geological samples. The ROV is also outfitted with a variety of sensors to measure parameters such as salinity, water temperature, depth, and dissolved oxygen, providing additional information about the deep-ocean environment. Also available are five 1.7-liter Niskin bottles for water collection and a rotary suction sampler with six 4-liter sample jars for collecting more delicate biological samples. As a “remotely” operated vehicle, D2 carries no passengers. The vehicle is connected to Seirios and Okeanos Explorer via a long cable and is piloted by GFOE engineers on the ship. Thanks to telepresence technology, live video from D2 travels from the seafloor to the ship and then via satellite connection to scientists located on shore who use the real-time video to provide guidance to the pilots on where to go and which samples to collect. The live video is also broadcast to the Internet, allowing members of the public to join in on D2’s adventures. From delivering stunning high-definition video and gathering physical data about surrounding waters to allowing the collection of biological and geological samples, D2 is delivering data needed by scientists to better understand an ecosystem in its entirety, meaning we can make better decisions about an area's management as well as its protection. language code: en Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=Deep Discoverer [023cf280-8fd9-4a4d-8e18-54fac3f6dbbb,825918] - Subsurface [35f1c0af-8379-4812-a130-08d84514fc98,835899] Date=2022-02-22 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=reference System Note=update Definition Old Value=https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/technology/subs/deep-discoverer/deep-discoverer.html New Value=NOAA Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=Deep Discoverer [023cf280-8fd9-4a4d-8e18-54fac3f6dbbb,825918] - Subsurface [35f1c0af-8379-4812-a130-08d84514fc98,835899] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=Deep Discoverer [023cf280-8fd9-4a4d-8e18-54fac3f6dbbb,825918] - Subsurface [31eb34c8-016e-48c4-9404-7d94ee66cfde,835901] Date=2020-01-21 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=Deep Discoverer [023cf280-8fd9-4a4d-8e18-54fac3f6dbbb,559711] - ROV [da6420b6-48ec-4ae2-98c7-0ef0538815a0,542741] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=Deep Discoverer [023cf280-8fd9-4a4d-8e18-54fac3f6dbbb,825918] - ROV [da6420b6-48ec-4ae2-98c7-0ef0538815a0,826805] Remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Deep Discoverer is owned by the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research and was built and continues to be maintained and operated by the Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration (GFOE) .

In fact it uses advancedmicrowave techniques to collect global measurements and images (muchof the data are collected from remote areas such as the southernoceans and the Antarctic) independently of time of day and weatherconditions. It also undertakes the measurement of many parameters thatare not covered by existing satellite systems, including those of seastate, sea surface winds, ocean circulation and sea/ice levels.Satellite characteristics:--------Platform: based on the SPOT Multimission PlatformPower supply: 4 x 24 Ah batteries; 1.8 kW from solar arrayAttitude control: 3-axis stabilised earth pointing, withoption of 9.5 degrees offset in Roll-Tilt Mode (RTM)Total mass: 2400 kg (at beginning of mission)Overall length: 11.8 mSolar array: 11.7 m x 2.4 mSAR antenna: 10.0 m x 1.0 mScatterometer antennas: fore/aft 3.6 m x 0.25 m; mid: 2.3 mx 0.35 mRadar Altimeter antenna: 1.2 m diameterDesign lifetime: 2-3 years---------ERS-1 carries on-board a number of instruments consisting of a coreset of active microwave sensors supported by additional, complementaryinstruments: the Active Microwave Instrument (AMI), which combines aSynthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) operating in image or wave mode and awind scatterometer, the Radar Altimeter (RA), the Along-Track ScanningRadiometer and Microwave Sounder (ATSR), the Precise Range andRange-rate Equipment (PRARE) and Laser Retroreflectors (LRR).The primary objective of the ERS-1 mission is the monitoring of oceansand sea ice providing essential data for:- improved representation of oceans/atmosphere interactionsin climatic models- major advances in the knowledge of ocean circulation andtransfer of energy- more reliable estimates of the mass balance of the Arcticand Antarctic ice sheets- better monitoring of pollution and dynamic coastalprocesses- improved detection and management of land use changeThe ability of ERS-1 to acquire vast global data sets of ocean,atmosphere, ice and land phenomena contributes to the following fieldsof study:- Ocean/Ice: ocean circulation, global wind/waverelationships, sea ice and iceberg monitoring, etc.- Physical Earth: accurate determination of the oceangeoid, forestry, glaciology, geology and agriculturestudies, etc.- Climate: contribution to the World Climate ResearchProgramme and to the World Ocean Circulation Experiment- Weather and Sea: short and medium-term weatherforecasting, sea surface state forecasting, wind speed anddirection, location of pelagic fish through the monitoringof temperature frontsRelation between ERS-1 instruments and missionobjectives------------------------------------------------------------Weather forecasting: AMI wind modeSea-state forecasting: AMI, wave and wind modesOffshore activity: Altimeter, ATSR, AMI in wave and windmodesShip routing: Altimeter, ATSR, AMI in wave and wind modesFisheries (fish location): (Altimeter), (ATSR), AMI inwind modeSea and iceberg monitoring: Altimeter, ATSR, AMI in imagemodeOil and pollution detection: ATSR, AMI in image modeCoastal process: ATSR, AMI in image modeLand applications: (Altimeter), ATSROcean circulation: Altimeter(1), ATSR, (AMI in wave mode)Ocean tides: Altimeter(2)Wind fields(3): Altimeter, AMI (in image mode), in wave andwind modeWave fields(3): Altimeter, AMI (in image mode), in wave andwind modePolar oceans: Altimeter, ATSR, AMI in all modes.Land ice: Altimeter, AMI (in image mode)Sea-surface temperature: ATSRMarine biology: (ATSR)------------------------------------------------------------( ) indicates limited applicability(1) For large-scale circulation, accurate orbitdetermination over short arcs is required(2) For solar tides, measurements from other satellites incomplementary orbits are required(3) The altimeter and active microwave instrumentation aremutually supportive in deriving the wind and wave fieldsThe complexity of the ERS-1 mission, which effectively consists of acombination of several different missions, requires a very carefulapproach when planning the mission operations. Taking into account thedifferent mission objectives, and attempting to satisfy them in aquasi-optimal way in the course of ERS-1's lifetime, has held to thedefinition of phases of activity during the mission:- Phase 0: Orbit acquisition, initial switch-on andfunctional check-out (2 weeks after the launch)- Phase A: The Commisioning phase, using a 3 day repeatcycle (25 July 1991-10 December 1991)- Phase B : The first ice phase, using a 3 day repeat cycle (28 December 1991-1 April 1992)- Phase R: The Roll-Tilt phase, using a 35 day repeat cycle (2 April 1992-14 April 1992)- Phase C: The first multi-disciplinary phase, using a 35day repeat cycle (14 April 1992-23 December 1993)- Phase D: The second ice phase, using a 3 day repeat cycle (23 December 1993-10 April 1994)- Phase E: The first geodetic phase, using a 172 day repeatcycle (10 April 1994-28 September 1994)- Phase F: The second Geodetic Phase, using a 172 dayrepeat cycle (28 September 1994-21 March 1995)- Phase G: The second Multi-Disciplinary Phase, using a 35day repeat cycle (21 March 1995-10 March 2000)In the first half of April 1992, the satellite was operated in aRoll-tilt-mode (RTM) to allow SAR imaging at a different viewangle. In fact by rotating the satellite body around its velocityvector (so-called 'Roll-tilt mode') the angle at which all theinstruments look at the Earth can be varied. This allowsexperimentation with the SAR at an incidence angle of 35 degreesinstead of the standard 23 degrees, thereby permitting analysis of atotally different set of signatures from objects on the Earth'ssurface, including in particular vegetation.Related URL:The ERS Missions: http://earth.esa.int/ersERS-1 Design: http://earth.esa.int/ers/satconcFor any query, please refer to:ESA/ESRIN Earth Observation Help Deskhttp://earth.esa.intGroup: Platform_Details Entry_ID: ERS-1 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: ERS Earth Resource Satellite Short_Name: ERS-1 Long_Name: European Remote Sensing Satellite-1 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: ERS-1 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: ATSR Short_Name: RA Short_Name: SAR Short_Name: AMI End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 782 to 785 km Orbit_Inclination: 98.52 deg Period: 100 min Repeat_Cycle: 3-day, 35-day and 176-day Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-09-14 Online_Resource: http://earth.esa.int/ers/satconc/ Online_Resource: http://earth.esa.int/ers/ Online_Resource: http://www.astronautix.com/craft/ers12.htm Sample_Image: http://earth.esa.int/icons/eeo/_ers-1_fully_deployed.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1991-07-17 Launch_Site: Kourou, French Guiana Design_Life: 2-3 YRS Primary_Sponsor: ESA End_GroupEnd_Group C-185 Date=2021-11-17 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=C-185 [04da5a44-7299-4d07-b85f-26db1552d00a,825934] - Aircraft [227d9c3d-f631-402d-84ed-b8c5a562fc27,826065] Date=2021-11-17 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=C-185 [04da5a44-7299-4d07-b85f-26db1552d00a,825934] - Propeller [6175c78e-432c-4254-b442-40d3cf0f6b34,835882] 2016-07-19 JPSS-2 Date=2016-07-19 User Id=saritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: 586db0b3-5f94-466e-b7c1-a2dbedc0c1fc relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2020-10-06 User Id=mmorahan Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Joint Polar Satellite System - 2 language code: en Date=2016-07-19 User Id=saritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: 85a52725-e6a1-430a-8506-c08c59ef31c7 relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2018-01-30 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: 91923fed-61c3-4125-b69d-1eeccafce52c relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2019-10-04 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=JPSS-2 will provide operational continuity of satellite-based observations and products for NOAA Polar-Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES) and Suomi NPP satellite and ground systems.

The USMP flights areregularly scheduled on Shuttle missions to permit scientistsaccess to space for microgravity and fundamental scienceexperiments which cannot be duplicated on Earth and provide thefoundation for advanced scientific investigations that will bedone on the international space station.The Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology (OAST-2) payloadcontains six experiments that will obtain technology data tosupport future needs for advanced satellites, sensors,microcircuits and the space station. Data gathered by the OAST-2experiments could lead to satellites and spacecraft that arecheaper, more reliable and able to operate more efficiently.STS-62 will help scientists calibrate sensitive ozone- detectinginstruments with the sixth flight of the Shuttle SolarBackscatter Ultraviolet (SSBUV) Instrument. This highlycalibrated tool is used to check data from ozone-measuringinstruments on free-flying satellites -- NASA's Total OzoneMapping Spectrometer (TOMS) and Upper Atmosphere ResearchSatellite (UARS) and the National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration NOAA-9 and NOAA-11 satellites.The Protein Crystal Growth (PCG) experiments and the CommercialProtein Crystal Growth (CPCG) experiments aboard Columbia willhelp scientists understand the growth of crystals to study thecomplex molecular structures of important proteins. By knowingthe structure of specific proteins, scientists can design newdrug treatments for humans and animals and develop new or betterfood crops.NASA's efforts in the important field of biotechnology arerepresented by the fourth flight of the Physiological SystemsExperiment which is designed to evaluate pharmaceutical,agricultural or biotechnological products, and the first flightof the Biotechnology Specimen Temperature Controller (BSTC),designed to test the performance of a temperature control devicebeing developed for use with the Bioreactor, a cell- culturegrowth device. Also flying again on the Shuttle is theCommercial Generic Bioprocessing Apparatus (CGBA) payload whichwill support more than 15 commercial life science investigationsthat have application in biomaterials, biotechnology, medicineand agriculture.The Middeck 0-Gravity Dynamics Experiment (MODE) will make itssecond flight on STS-62. MODE investigates how the microgravityof space flight influences the behavior of large spacestructures. The MODE test article can be configured in differentshapes typical of space structural forms-- the truss of a spacestation, for example -- to help engineers develop and verify ananalytical modeling capability for predicting the linear andnonlinear modal characteristics of space structures in amicrogravity environment. MODE also will gather forcemeasurements of nominal, crew-induced disturbance loads on theShuttle.Astronauts will demonstrate a new magnetic end effector andgrapple fixture design for the Shuttle's Canadian-built robotarm that engineers believe will increase the arm's dexterity andalignment accuracy, provide operators with a sense of touch andallow the use of more compact 'handles' on satellites and otherShuttle payloads.Additional information available at'http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/sts-62/mission-sts-62.html'[Summary provided by NASA] Space Shuttle Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] -

On November 8, 1986, thesatellite was moved into an Exact Repeat Mission (ERM) orbit with a repeatcycle of 17.05 days. The GEOSAT mission was originally managed by the Office ofNaval Research (ONR). During the development phase, the program responsibilitywas transferred to the Naval Electronics Systems Command, now called the Spaceand Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) in Washington, D.C. The AppliedPhysics Laboratory (APL) was the prime contractor for the spacecraft and radaraltimeter and performed spacecraft command and control operations and collectedthe satellite data. The data was distributed to the Naval Surface WeaponsCenter (NSWC), the Naval Ocean Research and Development Activity (NORDA), andNOAA. An arrangement was made with the National Ocean Service of NOAA to obtainthe classified GEOSAT geophysical data records (GDR) providing wind, wave andsea-level products and made available to the user community. NASA obtainedGEOSAT data for extensive waveform modeling and ice sheet research.The basicstructure of the GEOSAT is similar to the GEOS-3 satellite: The design consistsof a conical structure below the core for the structural attachment of thevelocity control system. The GEOSAT attitude control subsystem was designed topoint the radar altimeter to within 1 degree of nadir 98 percent of the time.The system components were a 20-foot scissors boom with 100-pound end mass,redundant momentum wheels for roll and yaw stiffness, and pitch and rollattitude control thrusters. Attitude sensing was provided through the use ofthree digital sun-attitude detectors and a three-axis vector magnetometer.Spacecraft command was accomplished via a VHF uplink from the APL groundstation. The telemetry subsystem consisted of two S-band transmitters, two taperecorders, and two encryption units. The GEOSAT was equipped with two Odeticsdual-track high-density tape recorders that independently recorded the 10.205kbps telemetry stream and played it back at 833 kbps for transmission to theground. The GEOSAT also included redundant Doppler beacons for continuoustracking by a network of ground stations within the Defense Mapping Agency(DMA) and for a source of accurate timing to the radar altimeter and thetelemetry subsystem. A C-band transponder was also included on GEOSAT.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched.

The budget analysis shows a very close balance between sources and sinks within the RAQMS regional domain during the TRACE-P time period. This balance results in very small average accumulation (∼1 Tg) of O3 in the east Asian region and very little net export averaged over the period (0.03 Tg d−1). The low ozone export from east Asia predicted by RAQMS during TRACE-P is a consequence of relatively high dry deposition rates, which are 37% of the gross ozone formation (1.469 Tg d−1) within the TRACE-P regional domain. language code: en Date=2021-08-10 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=RAQMS [012a6415-f410-467f-92a8-5196cfd211f4,706576] - Models/Analyses [113ecbc2-ab36-4d58-a96c-a6ce0106e749,696816] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=RAQMS [012a6415-f410-467f-92a8-5196cfd211f4,825914] - Models/Analyses [113ecbc2-ab36-4d58-a96c-a6ce0106e749,825984] The NASA Langley Research Center and University of Wisconsin Regional Air Quality Modeling System (RAQMS) is used to estimate the tropospheric ozone budget over east Asia during the NASA Global Tropospheric Experiment (GTE) Transport and Chemical Evolution over the Pacific (TRACE-P) mission.

This program, previously known as DAPP (Data Acquisition and Processing Program), was classified until March 1973. The objectives of this program were to provide global visual and infrared cloudcover data and specialized environmental data to support Department of Defense requirements. Operationally, the program consisted of two satellites in sun-synchronous polar orbits, with the ascending node of one satellite in early morning and the other at local noon. The 5.4-m-long spacecraft was separated into four sections: (1) a precision mounting platform (PMP) for sensors and equipment requiring precise alignment; (2) an equipment support module (ESM) containing the electronics, reaction wheels, and some meteorological sensors; (3) a reaction control equipment (RCE) support structure (including the third-stage motor and hydrazine reaction control system); and (4) a 9.29-sq-m solar cell panel. The spacecraft stabilization was controlled by a combination flywheel and magnetic control coil system so sensors could be maintained in the desired 'earth-looking' mode. One feature was the precision-pointing accuracy of the primary imager to 0.01 deg provided by a star sensor and an updated ephemeris navigation system. This allowed automatic geographical mapping of the digital imagery to the nearest picture element. The operational linescan system (OLS), built by Westinghouse, was the primary data acquisition system that provided real-time or stored, multi-orbit, day-and-night visual and infrared imagery of clouds, and provided with the data calibration, timing, and other auxiliary signals to the spacecraft for digital transmission to the ground. A supplementary meterological sensor, the special sensor H (SSH), a step-scanning radiometer, was the infrared temperature-humidity-ozone sounder. Either recorded or real-time data were transmitted to ground-receiving sites by two redundant S-band transmitters. Recorded data were read out to tracking sites located at Fairchild AFB, Wash., and Loring AFB, Maine, and relayed by SATCOM to Air Force Global Weather Central, Offutt AFB, Nebraska. Real-time data were read out at mobile tactical sites located around the world. A more complete description of the satellite can be found in the report, D. A. Nichols, 'The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program,' Optical Engineering, v. 14, n. 4, July-August 1975.

It is a prototype of a cabled deep-sea multiparameter observatory and the first one operating with real-time data transmission in Europe since 2005. NEMO-SN1 is also the first-established node of the European Multidisciplinary Seafloor Observatory (EMSO), one of the incoming European large-scale research infrastructures included in the Roadmap of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) since 2006. EMSO will specifically address long-term monitoring of environmental processes related to marine ecosystems, climate change, and geohazards. NEMO-SN1 has been deployed and developed over the last decade thanks to Italian funding and to the European Commission (EC) project European Seas Observatory NETwork—Network of Excellence (ESONET-NoE, 2007–2011) that funded the Listening to the Deep Ocean—Demonstration Mission (LIDO-DM) and a technological interoperability test (http://www.esonet-emso.org). NEMO-SN1 is performing geophysical and environmental long-term monitoring by acquiring seismological, geomagnetic, gravimetric, accelerometric, physico-oceanographic, hydroacoustic, and bioacoustic measurements. Scientific objectives include studying seismic signals, tsunami generation and warnings, its hydroacoustic precursors, and ambient noise characterization in terms of marine mammal sounds, environmental and anthropogenic sources. NEMO-SN1 is also an important test site for the construction of the Kilometre-Cube Underwater Neutrino Telescope (KM3NeT), another large-scale research infrastructure included in the ESFRI Roadmap based on a large volume neutrino telescope.

BeiDou-3 M9 [43ffbe92-aa27-463b-be5e-38f428f3e129,1648478] The BeiDou Navigation Satellite System will provide global coverage with positioning, navigation and timing services, including two kinds of service modes: an open service and an authorized service. The open service is provided free of charge location, velocity and timing, with positioning accuracy of 10 meters, velocity accuracy of 0.2 meters / second and timing accuracy of 10 nanoseconds. The authorized service provides a more secure position, velocity, timing, and communications services as well as a higher level of integrity.In order to make BeiDou Navigation Satellite System work better for global service, strengthen compatibility and interoperability between BeiDou and other countries’satellite navigation systems,and promote satellite positioning, navigation and timing service application, China is willing to cooperate with other countries in developing satellite navigation industry. 2024-04-22 13:43:06.0 Disaster Monitoring Constellation- 1st Generation (DMC-1G) Date=2020-10-05 User Id=mmorahan Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Disaster Monitoring Constellation- 1st Generation language code: en Date=2021-12-02 User Id=tstevens Entity=PrefLabel Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update PrefLabel Old Value=DMC-1G (Disaster Monitoring Constellation- 1st Generation) New Value=Disaster Monitoring Constellation- 1st Generation (DMC-1G) Date=2022-03-02 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: The Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) is an international program initially proposed in 1996 and led by SSTL (Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd), Surrey, UK, to construct a network of five affordable LEO microsatellites.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched. More than 10 satellites will be put into service within the next two years by Long-March launchers. Around 2011, the system will be capable to offer services on a regional scale. language code: en Date=2024-04-22 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=Compass-G5 [0041de3a-1bf8-45bb-a1f2-bd233e365241,1663582] - Beidou (China's Satellite Navigation System) [ef679d6a-a05b-4976-a236-ce2158b758ea,1654081] Date=2024-04-22 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Compass Satellite G5 language code: en In the first decade of the 21st century, China is in the process of developing its own navigation satellite constellation known as CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System), or BeiDou-2 in its Chinese name.

This enables continuous observations of around one-third of the Earth’s surface from their orbit 36,000km above the equator. Observations from geostationary orbit can save lives on Earth, as changes in weather and climate significantly impact not only our economy and infrastructure but also our lives. According to the World Meteorological Organization, there were more than 11 000 disasters attributed to weather, climate, and water-related hazards, which accounted for just over two million deaths and 3 trillion euros in losses between 1970 and 2019. Severe weather phenomena such as storms or even heavy fog can pose a significant threat to safety or business efficiency that require timely warnings to minimize their impact. To issue warnings and support decision makers, weather forecasters perform “nowcasting” to detect, in real time, rapidly developing situations of high impact weather, and predict their evolution a few hours ahead. Nowcasting requires very frequent, high-quality observational data about the state of the atmosphere in real time - data that advanced geostationary weather satellites such as Meteosat can deliver continuously from their fixed position above the Earth’s surface. The Meteosat satellites are also able to deliver information on winds by observing the displacement of clouds and water vapor patterns, an essential input for numerical weather prediction models. These complement other observations made by polar-orbiting satellites such as Metop, which remain the primary source for global numerical weather prediction models. language code: en Date=2018-07-27 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add narrower relation New Value=METEOSAT [28eac19a-5500-4a21-af30-ab7a364ff8d0,344695] - METEOSAT-11 [bc69ef64-c468-4e8a-9a41-3b421e79cc90,368007] Date=2013-12-13 User Id=saritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add narrower relation New Value=METEOSAT [28eac19a-5500-4a21-af30-ab7a364ff8d0,73589] - METEOSAT-10 [01ee202c-22c5-442d-b4fd-65f424057ea3,106033] Date=2026-01-23 User Id=system System Note=Added narrower relation from Meteosat [28eac19a-5500-4a21-af30-ab7a364ff8d0] to METEOSAT-12 [d6a7fcfc-6f6e-4d4e-84d5-32228ed0ce51] Meteosat satellites are in geostationary orbit, so they orbit the Earth at the same rate that the Earth rotates about its axis.

Nowcasting requires very frequent, high-quality observational data about the state of the atmosphere in real time - data that advanced geostationary weather satellites such as Meteosat can deliver continuously from their fixed position above the Earth’s surface. The Meteosat satellites are also able to deliver information on winds by observing the displacement of clouds and water vapor patterns, an essential input for numerical weather prediction models. These complement other observations made by polar-orbiting satellites such as Metop, which remain the primary source for global numerical weather prediction models. 2024-11-19 08:57:39.0 Earth Observation Satellites Date=2024-12-17 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,1925693] -

The SENTINEL-1 mission includes C-band imaging operating in four exclusive imaging modes with different resolution (down to 5 m) and coverage (up to 400 km). It provides dual polarisation capability, very short revisit times and rapid product delivery. For each observation, precise measurements of spacecraft position and attitude are available. Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has the advantage of operating at wavelengths not impeded by cloud cover or a lack of illumination and can acquire data over a site during day or night time under all weather conditions.

This ensures the reliability of service required by operational services and a consistent long term data archive built for applications based on long time series. 2026-04-30T13:14:51.944Z NASA Earth System Science Pathfinder Date=2023-05-31 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Cut Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=NASA Earth System Science Pathfinder [de1e0fd4-d865-4726-9bde-96804cf455b7,1326368] - GRACE [2e7aa2e6-9d25-4c6e-aef3-6e86d3773bac,1325599] Date=2020-01-03 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add narrower relation New Value=NASA Earth System Science Pathfinder [de1e0fd4-d865-4726-9bde-96804cf455b7,542765] - OCO-3 [da687fb4-016d-4b4d-92c2-380640ca5640,542743] Date=2018-03-12 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Remove Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=NASA Earth System Science Pathfinder [de1e0fd4-d865-4726-9bde-96804cf455b7,288699] - AQUARIUS [6a8c37b7-88f2-453c-a5b7-a7bc2a49db40,287939] Date=2022-03-03 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: Missions in the NASA Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) Program are characterized by innovative design and relatively rapid implementation.

In the Soviet years, failures of probes in other programs were given a Kosmos number. Kosmos 26 and 49 (both launched in 1964), for example, were equipped to measure Earth’s magnetic field. Others were employed to study certain technical aspects of spaceflight as well as physical phenomena in Earth’s upper atmosphere and in deep space. A number of them—such as Kosmos 597, 600, and 602—were apparently used to collect intelligence on the Yom Kippur War (the fourth Arab-Israeli war) in October 1973. Some Kosmos spacecraft had the ability to intercept satellites launched by other nations. Other Kosmos satellites have proved much more notable for how their missions ended. Kosmos 954, a Soviet navy satellite powered by a nuclear reactor, crashed in the Northwest Territories of Canada on January 24, 1978, scattering radioactive debris. The first collision that destroyed an operational satellite happened on February 10, 2009, when Kosmos 2251, an inactive Russian military communications satellite, collided with Iridium 33, a communications satellite owned by the American company Motorola, about 760 km (470 miles) above northern Siberia, shattering both satellites. language code: en A series of uncrewed Soviet and then Russian satellites launched from the early 1960s to the present day.

A number of them—such as Kosmos 597, 600, and 602—were apparently used to collect intelligence on the Yom Kippur War (the fourth Arab-Israeli war) in October 1973. Some Kosmos spacecraft had the ability to intercept satellites launched by other nations. Other Kosmos satellites have proved much more notable for how their missions ended. Kosmos 954, a Soviet navy satellite powered by a nuclear reactor, crashed in the Northwest Territories of Canada on January 24, 1978, scattering radioactive debris. The first collision that destroyed an operational satellite happened on February 10, 2009, when Kosmos 2251, an inactive Russian military communications satellite, collided with Iridium 33, a communications satellite owned by the American company Motorola, about 760 km (470 miles) above northern Siberia, shattering both satellites. 2022-02-28 09:33:10.0 2021-11-18 Subsurface Date=2022-02-25 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=reference System Note=update Definition New Value=NOAA Date=2022-04-20 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Subsurface [31eb34c8-016e-48c4-9404-7d94ee66cfde,884454] -

Its planar and stereoscopic relief images at about three meter resolution will be marketed for civilian and military uses, for cartographic and vegetation analyses. Panchromatic (at 2.5 m resolution) as well as multispectral images (at 10 m resolution) could be obtained. The position of the satellite, and hence the location of the images could be determined at 15 m accuracy by means of the DORIS position determination instrument.

Orbiter spacecraft are carrying out the second phase of solar system exploration, following up the initial reconnaissance with in-depth study of each of the planets. 2022-03-04 15:11:16.0 2024-04-11 GSAT0223 Date=2024-04-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=GSAT0223 [0f0596a3-8a9f-480c-be6c-54a6720c8133,1648452] - Galileo (Europe's European Satellite Navigation System) [b1c1ecfd-eb6c-4a51-b86e-2ae64babc27d,1638690] Date=2024-04-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: Galileo is a joint initiative of the European Commission (EC) and the European Space Agency (ESA).

The polar-orbitingspacecraft consisted of three major structures: (1) a hollowtorus-shaped sensor mount, (2) solar paddles, and (3) a controlhousing unit that was connected to the sensor mount by a tripod trussstructure. Configured somewhat like an ocean buoy, Nimbus-7 wasnearly 3.04 m tall, 1.52 m in diameter at the base, and about 3.96 mwide with solar paddles extended. The sensor mount that formed thesatellite base housed the electronics equipment and battery modules.The lower surface of the torus provided mounting space for sensors andantennas. A box-beam structure mounted within the center of the torusprovided support for the larger sensor experiments. Mounted on thecontrol housing unit, which was located on top of the spacecraft, weresun sensors, horizon scanners, and a command antenna. The spacecraftspin axis was pointed at the earth. An advanced attitude-controlsystem permitted the spacecraft's orientation to be controlled towithin plus or minus 1 deg in all three axes (pitch, roll, and yaw).Eight experiments were selected: (1) Limb Infrared Monitoring of theStratosphere (LIMS), (2) Stratospheric And Mesopheric Sounder (SAMS),(3) Coastal-Zone Color Scanner (CZCS), (4) Stratospheric AerosolMeasurement II (SAM II), (5) Earth Radiation Budget (ERB), (6)Scanning Multichannel Microwave Radiometer (SMMR), (7) SolarBackscatter UV and Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (SBUV/TOMS), and(8) Temperature-Humidity Infrared Radiometer (THIR). These sensorswere capable of observing several parameters at and below themesospheric levels. The Nimbus-7 spacecraft was turned off in 1994after 16 years of service.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: NIMBUS-7 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: NIMBUS Short_Name: NIMBUS-7 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Nimbus-G End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: CZCS Short_Name: TOMS Short_Name: SBUV Short_Name: LIMS Short_Name: THIR Short_Name: SAMS Short_Name: SMMR Short_Name: ERB End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 955 km Orbit_Inclination: 99.1 degree Equator_Crossing: 12:00 PM for ascending and 12:00 AM for descending Period: 104.15 min.

It operates in a near polar, sun- synchronous orbit at an altitude of 817km. Its local equatorial crossing time is 10:30 A.M in the descending node. The satellite payload consists of three sensors, namely Panchromatic camera (PAN), Linear Imaging and Self-Scanning Sensor (LISS - III) and Wide Field Sensor (WiFS).The PAN camera provides data with a spatial resolution of 5.8m and a ground swath of 70 km at nadir view. This camera can be steered up to +/- 26 degrees, which can be used to acquire stereo pairs and this also improves the revisit capability to 5 days.LISS - III camera provides multi-spectral data in 4 bands. The spatial resolution for visible (two bands) and near infrared (one band) is 23.5m with a ground swath of 141 km. The fourth band (short wave infrared band) has a spatial resolution of 70.5m with a ground swath of 148 km. The repetivity of LISS - III is 24 days.WiFS camera collects data in two spectral bands with a spatial resolution of 188m and a ground swath of 810 km. By virtue of its wide swath there is huge side lap between adjacent paths. A repetivity of 3 days can be achieved by suitably combining paths.The satellite is equipped with an On Board Tape Recorder (OBTR) with a capacity of 62 Gb, for collecting data outside the visibility region of any ground station. The OBTR was capable of storing data collected for 24 minutes. The OBTR was functional during 1995-1998.

As a consequence, India has two very capable launch systems at the start of the 21st century, namely PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) and GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle). 1)IRS is the integrated LEO (Low Earth Orbit) element of India's NNRMS (National Natural Resources Management System) with the objective to provide a long-term spaceborne operational capability to India for the observation and management of the country's natural resources (applications in agriculture, hydrology, geology, drought and flood monitoring, marine studies, snow studies, and land use). The intend of the program is to create an environment of new perspectives for the Indian research community as a whole, to stimulate the development of new technologies and applications, and to utilize the Earth resources in more meaningful ways. 2024-04-08 20:47:30.0 SGO Date=2022-02-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=Resource Operation=UPDATE Field=type System Note=update Resource Old Value=IMAGE New Value=image Date=2021-11-17 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SGO [feb61055-a920-4fe3-90a2-caac0c4fd08a,826942] - GEOPHYSICAL STATIONS/NETWORKS [4ce2e520-9a55-44fe-8f2c-93d64f4eef63,826225] Date=2022-02-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=The most important signal to be recorded at the Superconducting Gravimeter Observatory is gravity.

This program, previously known as DAPP (Data Acquisition and Processing Program), was classified until March 1973. The objective of this program is to provide global visual and infrared cloudcover data and specialized environmental data to support Department of Defense operational weather analysis and forecasting requirements. Operationally, the program consists of two satellites in sun-synchronous polar orbits, with the ascending node of one satellite in early morning and the other at local noon. The 6.4-m-long spacecraft is separated into four sections: (1) a precision mounting platform for sensors and equipment requiring precise alignment; (2) an equipment support module containing the electronics, reaction wheels, and some meteorological sensors; (3) a reaction control equipment support structure containing the third-stage rocket motor and supporting the ascent phase reaction control equipment; and (4) a 9.29-sq-m solar cell panel. The spacecraft stabilization is controlled by a combination flywheel and magnetic control coil system so that sensors are maintained in the desired earth-looking mode. One feature is the precision-pointing accuracy of the primary imager to 0.01 deg provided by a star sensor and an updated ephemeris navigation system. This allows automatic geographical mapping of the digital imagery to the nearest picture element. The operational linescan system is the primary data acquisition system that provides real-time or stored, multi-orbit, day-and-night, visual and infrared imagery of clouds. A supplementary sensor package contains five special sensors: (1) a microwave temperature sounder, (2) an X-ray spectrometer, (3) an ionospheric/scintillation monitor, (4) a precipitating electron/ion spectrometer, and (5) a microwave imager. Either recorded or real-time data are transmitted to ground-receiving sites by two redundant S-band transmitters. Recorded data are read out to tracking sites located at Fairchild AFB, Washington, and at Loring AFB, Maine, and relayed by SATCOM to Air Force Global Weather Central, Offutt AFB, Nebraska. Real-time data are read out at mobile tactical sites located around the world. Additional information concerning this satellite can be found in the report by D. A. Nichols, 'The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program,' Optical Engineering, v. 14, n. 4, p. 273, July-August 1975.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: DMSP 5D-2/F11 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: DMSP (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program) Short_Name: DMSP 5D-2/F11 Long_Name: Defense Meteorological Satellite Program-F11 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: DMSP-F11 Short_Name: USA 73 Short_Name: 21798 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: OLS Short_Name: SSM/I Short_Name: SSJ/4 Short_Name: SSI/ES Short_Name: SSM/T Short_Name: SSB/X Short_Name: SSM/T-2 End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 98.9° Period: 101.9 minutes Perigee: 846.0 km Apogee: 870.0 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftDisplay.do?id=1991-082A Online_Resource: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/dmsp/index.html Online_Resource: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/missions/dmsp.html Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1991-11-28 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Primary_Sponsor: Department of Defense-Department of the Air Force (United States) End_GroupEnd_Group 2016-06-09 10:34:34.0 CONVAIR CV-580 Date=2021-07-23 User Id=sritz Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: CONVAIR CV-580 language code: en Date=2021-11-17 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=CONVAIR CV-580 [0b69c56f-5aaa-46a2-83da-9c4cffc7c181,825962] - Aircraft [227d9c3d-f631-402d-84ed-b8c5a562fc27,826065] Date=2016-06-09 User Id=epneff Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT User Note=added altLabel System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null text: CV-580 language code: en Date=2016-06-09 User Id=epneff Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT User Note=added altLabel System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null text: CV580 language code: en Date=2021-11-17 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=CONVAIR CV-580 [0b69c56f-5aaa-46a2-83da-9c4cffc7c181,825962] - Propeller [6175c78e-432c-4254-b442-40d3cf0f6b34,835882] Date=2021-07-23 User Id=sritz Entity=Resource Operation=UPDATE Field=type System Note=update Resource Old Value=IMAGE New Value=image While Convair (based in San Diego like the Classic Airliner Page) was quite successful with its piston powered CV-240/340/440 series of twins, it recognized as early as 1950 that turboprop engines offered some clear advantages over the 'round engines'. Instead of building a new plane, Convair decided that those very Convair-Liners could be re-engined instead. An experimental installation of Allison T56 engines into a CV-240 in 1950 was quite successful, but the first commercial conversion did not take place until 1954, and then with British Napier Elands.

The beacon did not have sufficient power to be received by ground tracking stations, making it necessary to rely solely on the SAO Baker-Nunn camera network for tracking.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: AD-A Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: AD (Atmospheric Dynamics) Short_Name: AD-A Long_Name: Atmosphere Dynamics A (Explorer 19) End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: EXPLORER 19 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: OPTICAL BEACON End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 78.6 degrees Period: 115.9 min Perigee: 597 km Apogee: 2391 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-08-22 Online_Resource: https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraft/display.action?id=1963-053A Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1963-12-19 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2020-10-02 18:10:10.0 2021-03-11 TIROS-3 Date=2021-03-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Television Infrared Observation Satellite-3 language code: en Date=2021-03-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=TIROS-3 [0752330f-2d01-4129-89da-8544369206cb,560918] - TIROS [75b34f33-a790-4164-9cc0-02a997279e61,541971] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=TIROS-3 [0752330f-2d01-4129-89da-8544369206cb,825944] - TIROS [75b34f33-a790-4164-9cc0-02a997279e61,826385] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=TIROS-3 [0752330f-2d01-4129-89da-8544369206cb,825944] - TIROS [75b34f33-a790-4164-9cc0-02a997279e61,826385] Date=2021-03-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: Objectives: Continued development of the experimental television techniques and infrared equipment leading to a worldwide meteorological information system.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched. More than 10 satellites will be put into service within the next two years by Long-March launchers. Around 2011, the system will be capable to offer services on a regional scale. language code: en Date=2024-04-22 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=Compass-IGS06 [08305b92-3b0a-480c-b13d-7cf0e3bb2e0d,1663591] - Beidou (China's Satellite Navigation System) [ef679d6a-a05b-4976-a236-ce2158b758ea,1654081] Date=2024-04-22 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Compass Satellite IGS06 language code: en In the first decade of the 21st century, China is in the process of developing its own navigation satellite constellation known as CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System), or BeiDou-2 in its Chinese name. BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1).Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS.The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means 'Compass'. The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe.China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India).

WIND was positioned in a sunward, multiple double-lunar swingby orbit with a maximum apogee of 250Re during the first two years of operation. This was followed by a halo orbit at the Earth-Sun L1 point.The science objectives of the WIND mission are:- Provide conplete plasma, energetic particle, and magnetic field input formagnetospheric and ionospheric studies.- Determine the magnetospheric output to interplanetary space in theup-stream region- Investigate basic plasma processes occuring in the near-Earth solar wind- Provide baseline ecliptic plane observations to be used in heliosphericlatitudes from ULYSSES. WIND carries the following instruments:Radio and Plasma Wave experiment (WAVES)Energetic Particle Acceleration, Composition, and Transport (EPACT)Solar Wind Experiment (SWE)Solar Wind and Suprathermal Ion Composition Studies (SWICS/MASS/STICS)Magnetic Fields Investigation (MFI)3-D Plasma and Energetic Particle Analyzer (3DP)Transient Gamma-Ray Spectrometer (TGRS)Gamma Ray Burst Studies (KONUS)For more information, see:http://pwg.gsfc.nasa.gov/wind.shtmlandhttp://ssed.gsfc.nasa.gov/waves/Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: WIND Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Solar/Space Observation Satellites Short_Name: WIND End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: GGS/Wind Short_Name: ISTP/Wind Short_Name: Wind/GGS Short_Name: Wind/ISTP Short_Name: 23333 Short_Name: 1994-071A End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: SWIMS Short_Name: KONUS Short_Name: TGRS Short_Name: 3DP Short_Name: MFI Short_Name: SMS Short_Name: SWE Short_Name: EPACT Short_Name: WAVES End_Group Group: Orbit Perigee: 235 ER Apogee: 265 ER Orbit_Type: LPO > L1 > Lissajous Orbit > Halo Orbit End_Group Online_Resource: http://ssed.gsfc.nasa.gov/waves/ Sample_Image: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/image/spacecraft/wind.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1994-11-01 Launch_Site: Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group Solar/Space Observation Satellites Date=2022-02-27 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=reference System Note=update Definition Old Value=null New Value=NASA Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=Solar/Space Observation Satellites [8e8b7689-0a8e-47a4-9c68-5f6a207104d5,826501] - APOLLO [c6cf9028-9a62-4a0d-8cce-a2a5b1262758,826720] Date=2021-12-01 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=Solar/Space Observation Satellites [8e8b7689-0a8e-47a4-9c68-5f6a207104d5,826501] - PIONEER 6 [f5041b9b-2a20-4cd3-9154-f9c62fbf6d1f,826908] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Solar/Space Observation Satellites [8e8b7689-0a8e-47a4-9c68-5f6a207104d5,826501] - GEMINI-5 [3aa4763b-bc85-4609-96fe-0d0eff904fef,826141] Date=2021-12-01 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Solar/Space Observation Satellites [8e8b7689-0a8e-47a4-9c68-5f6a207104d5,826501] - Helios [b5e6d6de-2d7b-4876-86b1-cd94a494d44d,835930] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Solar/Space Observation Satellites [8e8b7689-0a8e-47a4-9c68-5f6a207104d5,826501] - GEMINI-3 [1c4b5e76-b447-4dab-acb5-4badecbf682a,826034] Date=2022-02-27 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=Satellites that observe the Earth's sun and the physical universe beyond the Earth's atmosphere.

End plates on the 73 meterantenna corrected the rapid despin that had occurred on the predecessorspacecraft, Alouette 1, and which was believed to result from thermaldistortion of the antenna and from radiation pressure.DATA ACQUISITION: There was no onboard tape recorder, so that datawere available to the ground receiving station only when the spacecraftwas in direct line of sight of telemetry stations. Telemetry stationswere located so that primary data coverage was near the 80 degreesWest meridan plus areas near Hawaii, Singapore, Australia, England,India, Norway and Central Africa. Initially data were recorded about8 hours per day. Degradation of the power supply system had, by June1975, reduced the operating time to about 1/2 hour per day. Routineoperations were terminated in July 1975. The spacecraft was alsosuccessfully reactivated on November 28 and 29, 1975, in order toobtain data on its 10th anniversary.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: ALOUETTE-2 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: ALOUETTE Short_Name: ALOUETTE-2 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: ALOUETTE-B Short_Name: 01804 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: STEP FREQUENCY RADIOMETERS Short_Name: ELECTROSTATIC ANALYZERS End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-08-22 Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/database/MasterCatalog?sc=1965-098A Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1965-11-29 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group Alouette Date=2022-02-27 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: The Alouette/ISIS Program consisted of four satellites and associated ground-based data analysis equipment.

R.; Song, Y.; Asefi-Najafabady, S.; Rayner, P. J. Abstract The Fossil Fuel Data Assimilation System (FFDAS) quantifies fossil fuel carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for the planet at a scale of 10 km hourly for the time period 1997-2012. FFDAS is based on the Kaya identity constrained by multiple ground and space-based observations. Among these are the DMSP nightlights, Landscan population, and the Ventus power plant database. We have recently downscaled the FFDAS version 2.0 to 1 km x 1 km resolution using nighlights. The finer spatial resolution allows for the examination of urban emissions across the planet. We take two approaches to examination of urban FFCO2 emissions. The first, utilizes named administrative boundaries combined with manual GIS identification (supported by LandSat and ISA) to identify the top emitting urban areas of the planet. We also utilize an urban land mask, without governmental boundary identification, to analyze all urban area by country across the planet. We perform multiple regression to identify key drivers and patterns. The results demonstrate the change in urban emissions during the last decade and assess the question of whether urban areas exhibit scaling properties vis a vis FFCO2 emissions.

The sounder usedtwo dipole antennas (73 and 18.7 m long). The satellite was spin-stabilized atabout 2.9 rpm after antenna deployment. Some control was exercised over thespin rate and attitude by using magnetically induced torques to change the spinrate and to precess the spin axis. A tape recorder with 1-h capacity wasincluded on the satellite. The satellite could be programmed to take recordedobservations for four different time periods for each full recording period.The recorder data were dumped only at Ottawa. For non-tape-recordedobservations, data for the satellite and subsatellite regions could be acquiredand telemetered when the spacecraft was in the line of sight of telemetrystations. The selected telemetry stations were in areas that provided primarydata coverage near the 80-deg-W meridian and in areas near Hawaii, Singapore,Australia, England, Norway, India, Japan, Antarctica, New Zealand, and CentralAfrica. NASA support of the ISIS project was terminated on October 1, 1979. Asignificant amount of experimental data, however, was acquired after this dateby the Canadian project team. ISIS 1 operations were terminated in Canada onMarch 9, 1984. The Radio Research Laboratories (Tokyo, Japan) then requestedand received permission to reactivate ISIS 1. Regular ISIS 1 operations werestarted from Kashima, Japan, in early August 1984. ISIS 1 was deactivatedeffective January 24, 1990. - Auxiliary Information - Launch Date and Time : 1969-01-30 06:43:00 Epoch Date and Time : 1969-02-04 Apogee (km or AU): 3526.

In order to exploit this new technique, GONG has developed a six-station network of extremely sensitive, and stable velocity imagers located around the Earth to obtain nearly continuous observations of the SUN's 'five-minute' oscillations, or pulsations.The site comprising the GONG Network are:Big Bear, CaliforniaCerro Tololo, ChileLearmonth, AustraliaMauna Loa, HawaiiUdaipur, IndiaObservatorio del Teide, Canary IslandsThe five-minute oscillation is a subtle effect. Individual modes may exhibit velocities of less than 0.2 meters/second, while the sum of all of the modes is only a few hundred meters/second. The ultimate intention is to have the measurements be limited by the Sun's ``random'' surface motions. This means developing six stable instruments capable of making imaged velocity measurements with a precision of significantly less than one meter/second - one part in ten million! A low technological risk instrument based on a Michelson interferometer was selected, and it will be supported by a highly automated, portable installation, somewhat reminiscent of a spacecraft experiment.Each station in the network will produce more than 200 megabytes of data every day. Over the three year observing run, the raw data will exceed one terabyte, and the various processed data sets will exceed this several-fold. To keep up with the data flow, a pipe-line capable of roughly 6 Megaflops has be established to do the bulk processing and provide subsets of the data for the scientific community. Because of the widespread scientific participation, distributed data, software and analysis tools will be provided. Thus, in addition to a central facility, participating scientists will have access to readily transportable data archives and software, as well as shared analysis programs at their home institutions.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GONG NETWORK Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: In Situ Land-based Platforms Platform_Series_or_Entity: SOLAR/SPACE MONITORING STATIONS Short_Name: GONG NETWORK Long_Name: Global Oscillation Network Group End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: GONG End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: INTERFEROMETERS End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-12-10 Online_Resource: http://gong.nso.edu/info/ Sample_Image: http://gong.nso.edu/instrument/outside_shelter.jpgEnd_Group DEM Date=2016-06-09 User Id=epneff Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT User Note=added altLabel System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null text: DIGITAL ELEVATION MODEL language code: en Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=DEM [4a56783a-932e-4ca7-acea-af82a9fe5626,826220] - Models/Analyses [113ecbc2-ab36-4d58-a96c-a6ce0106e749,825984] Date=2016-06-09 User Id=epneff Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT User Note=added altLabel System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null text: DEM (DIGITAL ELEVATION MODEL) language code: en Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=DEM [4a56783a-932e-4ca7-acea-af82a9fe5626,826220] - Models [0a184cdc-c074-4946-90a6-02f03c686341,835911] Digital Elevation Models (DEM) are digital files consisting ofterrain elevations for ground positions at regularly spacedhorizontal intervals.[Source: USGS]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: DEM Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Models Short_Name: DEM Long_Name: Digital Elevation Model End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: DEM End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-12-13 Online_Resource: http://rmmcweb.cr.usgs.gov/elevation/dpi_dem.html Sample_Image: http://edc.usgs.gov/images/dem.jpgEnd_Group 2016-06-09 13:26:13.0 2020-11-16 Vaisala HydroMet AWS Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=Vaisala HydroMet AWS [6c9e32c9-bcc2-4e70-97a1-8a31a23ba65a,826344] - Permanent Land Sites [0ec10fd9-492c-498a-b6d8-e2840cc3643b,835887] Date=2020-11-16 User Id=sritz Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Vaisala HydroMet Automatic Weather Station language code: en Date=2020-11-16 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: The Vaisala HydroMet™ Automatic Weather Station MAWS201 is a portable AWS for temporary installations, featuring the same design as the Vaisala TacMet Tactical Meteorological Observation System MAWS201M for demanding tactical meteorological applications.

ECHO-1 The Echo satellites were NASA's first experimental communications satellite project. Each spacecraft was a large metallized balloon designed to act as a passive communications reflector to bounce communication signals transmitted from one point on Earth to another. Following the failure of the launch vehicle carrying Echo 1, Echo 1A (commonly referred to as Echo 1) was successfully orbited, and was used to redirect transcontinental and intercontinental telephone, radio, and television signals. The success of Echo 1A proved that microwave transmission to and from satellites in space was understood and demonstrated the promise of communications satellites. The vehicle also provided data for the calculation of atmospheric density and solar pressure due to its large area-to-mass ratio. Echo 1A was visible to the unaided eye over most of the Earth (brighter than most stars) and was probably seen by more people than any other man-made object in space. Echo 2 continued the passive communications experiments, and also investigated the dynamics of large spacecraft and was used for global geometric geodesy. Although NASA abandonded passive communications systems in favor of active satellites following Echo 2, the Echo systems demonstrated several ground station and tracking technologies that would be used by active systems. Echo 1A reentered on May 24, 1968 followed by Echo 2 on June 7, 1969. Spacecraft 1, 1A: each was a 30.5 m diameter balloon made of 0.0127 mm thick mylar polyester film. A set of 107.9-MHz beacon transmitters were carried for telemetry. The transmitters were powered by five nickel-cadmium batteries that were charged by 70 solar cells mounted on the balloon. 2: a 41.1 m diameter mylar balloon that used an improved inflation system to improve the balloon's smoothness and sphericity. Instrumentation included temperature sensors to monitor the balloon's skin temperature and pressure sensors to monitor the balloon's internal pressure. A beacon system, consisting of two transmitter assemblies, provided tracking and telemetry signals. The beacon system used solar cell panels for power and had a minimum power output of 45 mW at 136.17 MHz and 136.02 MHz.

SPEAR (Seamless System for Prediction and EArth System Research) is built from component models recently developed at GFDL—the AM4 atmosphere model, MOM6 ocean code, LM4 land model, and SIS2 sea ice model. The SPEAR models are specifically designed with attributes needed for a prediction model for seasonal to decadal time scales, including the ability to run large ensembles of simulations with available computational resources. For computational speed SPEAR uses a coarse ocean resolution of approximately 1.0° (with tropical refinement). SPEAR can use differing atmospheric horizontal resolutions ranging from 1° to 0.25°. The higher atmospheric resolution facilitates improved simulation of regional climate and extremes. SPEAR is built from the same components as the GFDL CM4 and ESM4 models but with design choices geared toward seasonal to multidecadal physical climate prediction and projection. We document simulation characteristics for the time mean climate, aspects of internal variability, and the response to both idealized and realistic radiative forcing change. We describe in greater detail one focus of the model development process that was motivated by the importance of the Southern Ocean to the global climate system. We present sensitivity tests that document the influence of the Antarctic surface heat budget on Southern Ocean ventilation and deep global ocean circulation.

OHB, via itssubsidiary COSMOS International Satellitenstart GmbH, organizedand carried out the services associated with the launch of SouthKorean research satellite KAISTSAT-4, which was also on board.The orbital telematics experiment Rubin-4-dsi developed by OHGis located on the upper stage of the COSMOS and transmitsinformation on the rocket?s acceleration, vibration load andposition. Rubin will transmit this information to earth viae-mail using the Orbcomm satellite communications system. Inthis way, it will be possible to track the rocket in orbitreliably and without any data loss.RUBIN-4-dsi is the fourth micro-satellite from the RUBIN seriesdeveloped and maintained by OHB. The first was launched in July2000 and transmitted approximately 1,600 e-mails with measuringdata from outer space. RUBIN-2, a much more complex follow-upmodel, and RUBIN-3 came at the end of 2002.Among other things, RUBIN communications technology can infuture be used for communicating with satellites orbiting closeto the earth without any data loss.

A large subset of this data is available from PSL in its original 4 times daily format and as daily averages. However, the data from 1948-1957 is a little different, in the regular (non-Gaussian) gridded data. That data was done at 8 times daily in the model, because the inputs available in that era were available at 3Z, 9Z, 15Z, and 21Z, whereas the 4x daily data has been available at 0Z, 6Z, 12Z, and 18Z.

The spacecraft consisted of alternating layers of aluminum foil and plastic film. Uniformly distributed over the aluminum surface were 5.1-cm dots of white paint for thermal control. Explorer 9 carried a 136-MHz beacon for tracking purposes. The beacon failed on the first orbit however, and the SAO Baker-Nunn camera network had to be relied upon for tracking. The spacecraft reentered the earth's atmosphere on April 9, 1964.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: EXPLORER-9 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Balloons/Rockets Short_Name: EXPLORER 9 Long_Name: Air Density Balloon End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Explorer-9 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: OPTICAL BEACON Short_Name: OPTICAL TRACKING Short_Name: SATELLITE RADIO BEACON End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 38.91degrees Perigee: 545 km Apogee: 2225 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-08-21 Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/database/MasterCatalog?sc=1961-004A Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1961-02-16 Launch_Site: Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2025-06-16 MKE Fresh Air Date=2025-06-16 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: MKE Fresh Air Collective language code: en Date=2025-06-16 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: MKE FreshAir Collective, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit air quality monitoring organization in Milwaukee, WI, consisting of environmental enthusiasts and concerned residents who are passionate about creating a healthier environment for our community.

The direction and length of trajectories are useful in diagnosing processes that may affect particular air masses under certain conditions. In this regard it is important that parcel trajectories are determined accurately. The three-dimensional (3D) algorithm presented here (traj3d) builds on the two-dimensional (2D) model of Law (1993) and reported in application by Perrin and Simmonds (1995). From a specified parcel location in the atmosphere, xn at time n, a finite integral is solved to advect the parcel and generate the trajectory path. Given the 3D wind v(xn) the governing prognostic equation for the trajectory path over a short time interval Δt is xn+1 = xn + v Δt . The wind at a given point is found by cubically interpolating from a spatial grid then linearly in time. For back trajectories the wind direction is reversed. The finite integral is solved using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta scheme to obtain an estimate of the wind. This method is considerably more accurate for trajectory calculations than a simple first-order approach. For mathematical details about the 3D algorithm see Noone and Simmonds (1999) and Barras and Simmonds (2009). We present an implementation of the 3D algorithm in Fortran 77 that is suitable for any platform given an appropriate compiler. A precompiled Linux version is also available. The input to the program is a simple binary format referred to as CMP. At present the input data (usually 3D winds) are limited to constant pressure levels (e.g. 1000, 925, 850 hPa etc) as is the case with the commonly available reanalysis products e.g. NCEP reanalysis. The output of the program is a NetCDF file (and therefore NetCDF libraries need to be accessible for compilation) and this may be imported into many software packages e.g. Matlab, NCL, for subsequent analysis and plotting. We include some utilities to convert from NetCDF (a common format for 3D meteorological fields like winds) to CMP as well as plotting the trajectories based on NCAR Graphics/NCL. Although intended for computing 3D trajectories the algorithm is equally applicable to 2D trajectory studies e.g. 10 m winds, or a single pressure level e.g. 500 hPa. Finally, it is possible to interpolate auxiliary variables e.g. air temperature, to the trajectory positions and include these in the output NetCDF file. language code: en Date=2022-03-24 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Three-Dimensional Trajectory Model language code: en Date=2022-03-24 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=TRAJ3D [388b0962-f9c0-48d9-95aa-0aa55d5043d9,865214] - Models [0a184cdc-c074-4946-90a6-02f03c686341,855146] Parcel trajectories are often calculated to obtain an appreciation of the history of air masses (e.g. Fuelburg et al., 1996).

Sample local-scale validations are conducted over the First International Satellite Land Surface Climatology Project (ISLSCP) Field Experiment (FIFE) site, the W3 catchment of Sleepers River, Vermont, and a French snow observation site. Noah-MP shows apparent improvements in reproducing surface fluxes, skin temperature over dry periods, snow water equivalent (SWE), snow depth, and runoff over Noah LSM version 3.0. Noah-MP improves the SWE simulations due to more accurate simulations of the diurnal variations of the snow skin temperature, which is critical for computing available energy for melting. Noah-MP also improves the simulation of runoff peaks and timing by introducing a more permeable frozen soil and more accurate simulation of snowmelt.

The Orbiter was a flat cylinder 2.5 m in diameter and 1.2 mhigh. All instruments and spacecraft subsystems were mounted on the forward endof the cylinder, except the magnetometer, which was at the end of a 4.7 m boom.A solar array extended around the circumference of the cylinder. A 1.09 mdespun dish antenna provided S and X band communication with Earth.The Pioneer Venus Orbiter carried 17 experiments (with a total mass of 45 kg): * a cloud photopolarimeter to measure the vertical distribution of theclouds * a surface radar mapper to determine topography and surfacecharacteristics * an infrared radiometer to measure IR emissions from the Venus atmosphere * an airglow ultraviolet spectrometer to measure scattered and emitted UVlight * a neutral mass spectrometer to determine the composition of the upperatmosphere * a solar wind plasma analyzer to measure properties of the solar wind * a magnetometer to characterize the magnetic field at Venus * an electric field detector to study the solar wind and its interactions * an electron temperature probe to study the thermal properties of theionosphere * an ion mass spectrometer to characterize the ionospheric ion population * a charged particle retarding potential analyzer to study ionosphericparticles * two radio science experiments to determine the gravity field of Venus * a radio occultation experiment to characterize the atmosphere * an atmospheric drag experiment to study the upper atmosphere * a radio science atmospheric and solar wind turbulence experiment * a gamma ray burst detector to record gamma ray burst events From Venus orbit insertion to July 1980, periapsis was held between 142 and 253km (at 17 degrees north latitude) to facilitate radar and ionosphericmeasurements. The spacecraft was in a 24 hour orbit with an apoapsis of 66,900km. Thereafter, the periapsis was allowed to rise (to 2290 km at maximum) andthen fall, to conserve fuel. In 1991 the Radar Mapper was reactivated toinvestigate previously inaccessible southern portions of the planet. In May1992 Pioneer Venus began the final phase of its mission, in which the periapsiswas held between 150 and 250 km until the fuel ran out and atmospheric entrydestroyed the spacecraft the following August.

The formulation of the CCM has steadily improved over the past two decades, computers powerful enough to run the model have become relatively inexpensive and widely available, and usage of the model has become widespread in the university community, and at some national laboratories. A limitation of the original CCM was that it did not include models of the global ocean and sea ice. Accordingly, in 1994, NCAR scientists submitted a plan to National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop and use a Climate System Model (CSM) that was to include models of the atmosphere, land surface, ocean, and sea ice. These components were to be coupled without resorting to any "flux adjustments." The plan was to focus initially on the physical aspects of the climate system, and then in a subsequent version to improve biogeochemistry and coupling to the upper atmosphere. The first phase of this project was the model development by the NCAR staff, after which the model and associated data sets were to be made available to the scientific community. In addition, a new governance structure was promised, in which the interested scientific community would be given a fair opportunity to participate in all aspects of the CSM. NSF approved the plan, and model development began immediately. In May 1996, the first CSM Workshop was held in Breckenridge, Colorado. At this workshop the CSM components and the results of an early equilibrium climate simulation were presented. Working groups began to form, and the nature of future CSM governance was discussed. At the final plenary session of the workshop, the proposed management structure was discussed, modified, and adopted. At that point, the second phase of CSM, including full participation of the scientific community, had begun. The period since this 1996 workshop has been a time of substantial organizational progress. A Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) has been formed to lead the CSM activity, working groups have been producing useful output, and the previously existing Climate Modeling, Analysis and Prediction (CMAP) Advisory Council has been reorganized as the CSM Advisory Board (CAB). In addition to support from NSF, interest in the CSM from other agencies, notably the Department of Energy (DOE) and NASA, has developed.

The SRL-1 consists of two elements: a suite of radar instruments called the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) jointly developed by NASA and DARA of Germany and ASI of Italy, and the Measurement of Air Pollution from Satellite (MAPS) instrument to measure atmospheric air pollution. SRL-1 is the first in a series of flights of this payload designed to (1) acquire radar imagery of the Earth's surface for studies in geology, geography, hydrology, oceanography, agronomy, and botany; (2) gather data for future space-borne radar systems; and (3) provide measurements of the global distribution of carbon monoxide (CO) in the troposphere. Instruments on board include the Shuttle Imaging Radar-C (SIR-C) with multi-frequency (C- and L-Bands), multi-polarization (HH, VV, HV, VH), and multi-incidence angle (15 to 55 degrees) capabilities thus lending itself to a wide range of earth surface applications; the X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (X-SAR), an X-band, VV-polarized imaging radar system, built by Dornier (Germany) and Alenia (Italy) for the German Space Agency (DARA)/German Aerospace Research Establishment (DLR) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI); and, the Mapping Air Pollution from Space (MAPS) instrument for the study of global air pollution. The MAPS instrument, from NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) is part of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth (MtPE) Program. Four 45-Mbps data channels were recorded on special high data rate tape recorders and real-time data was transmitted to ground stations. About 50 hours each of SIR-C and X-SAR data were recorded during the mission. The combined SIR-C/X-SAR Science Team was made up of 49 members and 3 associates representing 13 countries. SIR-C/X-SAR data collection was focused on several worldwide supersites and correlated with ground and aircraft measurements. Radar data was also calibrated to allow comparisons with other operating spaceborne radars (ERS-1 SAR, JERS-1 SAR).Both SIR-C and X-SAR will use on-board tape recorders to store data as well as limited real-time transmissions to the ground. Each radar has its own on-board data handling system and each radar can have its data routed through the TDRSS for real-time transmission (Ku-band). SIR-C data are recorded in parallel and X-SAR data is recorded serially. SIR-C and X-SAR data will be preprocessed at the Payload Operations Control Center (POCC) at NASA/JSC before delivery to JPL and operations centers in Germany and Italy. Commands are sent to the SRL-1 from POCC. At mission end, data tapes recorded on-board are sent to the PI sites.The SIR-C/X-SAR part of the SRL-1 mission is expected to collect over 50 hours of data, both recorded and real-time. Real-time raw data will be pre-processed by the instrument PIs and science teams and stored at the PI sites at JPL, in Germany, and in Italy for analysis. SIR-C data will be processed at JPL using the JPL advanced digital SAR processor, leading to processed SAR images on 8-mm digital tape and on film. Plans include the production of CD-ROMs with 100 m resolution images. X-SAR data will be pre-processed within 3 months. Image products will be made available to X-SAR investigators. Both Germany and Italy will operate separate archives and processing facilities for X-SAR data. SIR-C processed data will eventually be be archived with the EOSDIS DAAC at EROS Data Center. All processed MAPS data is expected to be archived with the EOSDIS DAAC at NASA/Langley. Two additional flights of SRL are planned (August 1994 and 1995).Some SIR-C and X-SAR images are publically available on the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) FTP site: jplinfo.jpl.nasa.gov in the directory /sircxsar. The images are also available through the World Wide Web (WWW) at http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/. Both servers also have extensive information about the mission.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: SRL-1 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: SRL-1 Long_Name: Space Radar Laboratory-1 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: SRL-1 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: X-SAR End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-28 Online_Resource: http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/chron/sts-59.htm Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1994-04-09 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2021-11-18 Moored Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=Moored [15a80a3c-a97b-4872-896c-b7e6292663b8,835895] - Buoys [99c4602d-1de6-4f4b-88e2-3bd13bd9a385,835891] Date=2022-02-20 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: Buoys that are anchored at fixed locations and regularly collect observations from many different atmospheric and oceanographic sensors.

It was launched in early2002 from Japan by Japan's National Space Development Agency.The purpose of FedSat is to:Establish Australian capability in microsatellite technologiesDevelop expertise necessary for sustaining those industries andprofiting from themTest and develop Australian-developed intellectual propertyProvide a research platform for Australian space science,communication and GPS studies.FedSat was developed by the Cooperative Research Centre forSatellite Systems, which combines the resources and skills of 12Australian organizations. Contributions from each of the partnerorganizations are doubled by the Commonwealth Government, underits Commonwealth Government's Cooperative Research Center?sProgram. The total budget of the Centre is approximately&#3660 million over 7 years, with &#3620 million of thatallocated for the FedSat mission. Much of FedSat was developedin Australia by the CRCSS. Three of the six main payloads havebeen fully developed by the CRCSS, and the other three have beensupplied by overseas organizations in consultation with theCRCSS. The satellite platform, the structure that houses andmaintains the payloads, is being provided by overseasorganizations. CRCSS engineers could have developed anAustralian platform, but given the time available fromproject-start to launch, that was not practical. CRCSS opted tocontract an overseas platform supplier, avoiding the need toreinvent established technologies. Payloads:1. GPS Receiver: The GPS, Global Positioning System, is anAmerican network of satellites that transmit radio signalscontaining time and orbit-position codes. GPS receivers decodethe signals, and by comparing signals of up to 4 satellites withknown positions, they can derive their own locations bytriangulation. The system was designed for mainly military use,but now GPS provides many scientific and civilian applications.2. NewMag: The NewMag magnetometer is a very sensitive andrapid-sampling device for measuring the strength of the Earth'smagnetic field. Earth is like a big bar magnet, with magneticfield lines emerging from the poles and far out intospace. FedSat's polar orbit crosses all these lines, so NewMagcan effectively gain a window into the whole magnetosphereregion. NewMag can also measure vibrations simultaneously withground- based magnetometers, so investigating the dynamics ofthe magnetosphere (changes in it shape due to variations in theSun), and study magnetospheric wave-propagation.3. High performance computing: The FedSat high performancecomputing payload is the world's first use of reconfigurablecomputing technology in space. Reconfigurable computers permitchange of their physical circuits via software control; newphysical circuits can be installed into a reconfigurablecomputer module by remote command. For spacecraft, thistechnology means that satellites can be rewired without havingto retrieve them.4. Ka-band transponder: The FedSat Ka-band transponder isdesigned to handle the new experimental high- frequency andhigh-capacity Ka part of the radio spectrum. The transponderprocesses signals to and from the ground in the frequencyband. The transponder incorporates CRCSS-designed GalliumArsenide monolithic microwave circuits; FedSat will spacequalify these for the first time.5. Baseband processor The baseband processor provides on-boardcomputer processing of the Ka- and UHF- band payloads. It hasbeen designed and built by the CRCSS, to operate as a low powersingle modem with flexible operation. It will also provide thechannel for satellite operations commands.6. UHF communications payload: The Ultra High Frequency bandpayload will introduce a new type of packet data service for LowEarth Orbiting satellites to obtain environmental data. Forexample, ocean buoys may transmit their data using this means toorbiting satellites, which are retransmitted back to the lab foranalysis.7. CD ROM: FedSat also carries a compact disc mounted on theside, containing the audio messages members of the Australianpublic recorded to go into space from March to August 2000. Thedisc also contains a copy of the song From Little Things, BigThings Grow, by Paul Kelly, with kind permission of the writers(Kev Carmody/Paul Kelly) and publishers (Larrikin Music,Mushroon Records).Additional information available at'http://www.crcss.csiro.au/overview.htm'and'http://www.crcss.csiro.au/launch/launch.html'[Summary provided by CSIRO] Explorer Date=2022-03-07 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: Explorer, any of the largest series of unmanned U.S. spacecraft, consisting of 55 scientific satellites launched between 1958 and 1975.

This experiment payload consisted of 1) a Shuttle Imaging Radar (SIR-B) for studies of the earth's surface, 2) a Large Format Camera (LFC) for cartographic mappings of the earth, 3) a Measurement of Air Pollution from Satellite (MAPS) experiment to determine the distribution of CO in the atmosphere, and 4) a Feature Identification and Location Experiment (FILE) for classification of surface materials. The SIR-B was an upgraded version of the SIR-A flown on the OSTA-1 payload during the STS-2 mission (NSSDC ID 81-111A-01). The MAPS and FILE sensors were the reflies of those same instruments on the OSTA-1 payload (NSSDC ID 81-111A-04 and 81-111A-03). The mission lasted 8 days and, except for SIR-B, all instruments met their pre launch requirements.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: STS-41G Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: STS-41G Long_Name: Space Transport System STS-41G End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Challenger (6) End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 57 degrees Perigee: 216 km Apogee: 229 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-29 Online_Resource: http://www.spacefacts.de/mission/english/sts-41g.htm Sample_Image: http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/mirrors/images/images/pao/STS41G/10061805.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1984-10-05 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group EO-1 Date=2020-02-20 User Id=sritz Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: null text: NMP language code: en Date=2020-02-20 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=reference System Note=update Definition New Value=https://eospso.nasa.gov/missions/earth-observing-1 Date=2016-06-09 User Id=epneff Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT User Note=added altLabel System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null text: EO-1 (EARTH OBSERVING 1) language code: en Date=2020-02-20 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) is an advanced land-imaging mission that will demonstrate new instruments and spacecraft systems.

The Hyperion will demonstrate the ability to perform detailed spectral mapping with high radiometric accuracy. In the future, an operational version of the Hyperion will allow complex land ecosystems to be imaged and accurately classified. The Advanced Land Imager (ALI) instrument yields almost four times better performance at only one-fourth the cost and weight of the Landsat ETM+. Finally the Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array/Atmospheric Corrector (LEISA/AC) is an infrared camera, which can be used to remove the effects of the atmosphere from surface pictures obtained by instruments such as the ALI on EO-1 and Landsat. This instrument will provide scientific return both in terms of improved imagery and hyperspectral sensing capabilities. It will also test a number of new technologies. Because the AC is small and adaptable to different spacecraft configurations, it is a bolt-on instrument, which can be attached to any future Earth imaging spacecraft. The three advanced imaging instruments will lead to a new generation of lighter weight, higher performance and lower cost Landsat-type Earth surface imaging instruments.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched.

Seasat 1 provided 95% global coverage every 36 h. The instrument payload consisted of (1) an X-band compressed pulse radar altimeter (ALT), (2) a coherent synthetic aperture radar (SAR), (3) a Seasat-A scatterometer system (SASS), (4) a scanning multichannel microwave radiometer (SMMR), and (5) a visible and infrared radiometer (VIRR). The accuracies obtained were distance between spacecraft and ocean surface to 10 cm, wind speeds to 2 m/s, and surface temperatures to 1 deg C.

The cylindrically-shaped spacecraft measured 142 cm in diameter and 183 cm in length. The primary structural members were a corrugated thrust tube with honeycombed bulkheads secured to each end. Equipment components and payload were externally mounted on the outer surface of the thrust tube as well as on a structure that slid into the interior of the thrust tube. Electric power was provided by two solar arrays mounted on either end of the spacecraft's outer shell and by two rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. Extending radially outward from the side of the spacecraft were four 28.2 m adjustable gravity-gradient booms. The spacecraft telemetry system consisted of four 2.1-W transmitters (two at 136.47 MHz and two at 137.35 MHz), in addition to a microwave communications experiment. This satellite carried a particle telescope, omnidirectional proton and electron detectors, advanced vidicon camera system, and a electron magnetic deflection spectrometer. The second stage of the ATS 2 launch vehicle failed to ignite resulting in an unplanned elliptical orbit. Stresses induced by this orbit eventually induced spacecraft tumbling. In spite of these conditions useful data were obtained from some of the experiments, most notably the cosmic-ray and particle experiments and the field detection experiments. The satellite reentered the atmosphere on September 2, 1969.

The constellationconsists of 24 operational satellites. The U.S. Air Force Space Command (AFSC)formally declared the GPS satellite constellation as having met the requirementfor Full Operational Capability (FOC) as of April 27, 1995. Requirementsinclude 24 operational satellites functioning in their assigned orbits andsuccessful testing completed for operational military functionality.GPS consists of three segments, the SPACE, CONTROL and USER Segment:1. The SPACE segment consists of 24 operational satellites in six orbitalplanes, (four satellites in each plane). The satellites operate in circular20,200 km orbits at an inclination angle of 55 degrees and with a 12-hourperiod. The position is therefore the same at the same sidereal time each day,i.e. the satellites appear four minutes earlier each day.2. The CONTROL segment consists of five Monitor Stations, three GroundAntennas, and a Master Control Station (MCS) located at Falcon AFB in Colorado.The monitor stations passively track all satellites in view, accumulatingranging data. This information is processed at the MCS to determine satelliteorbits and to update each satellite's navigation message. Updated informationis transmitted to each satellite via the Ground Antennas.3. The USER segment consists of antennas and receiver-processors thatprovide positioning, velocity and precise timing to the user.GPS provides two levels of service, Standard Positioning Service and thePrecise Positioning Service. The Standard Positioning Service (SPS) is apositioning and timing service which will be available to all GPS users on acontinuous, worldwide basis with no direct charge. The Precise PositioningService (PPS) is a highly accurate military positioning, velocity and timingservice which will be available on a continuous, worldwide basis to usersauthorized by the U.S. [Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GPS-35 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Navigation Platforms Platform_Series_or_Entity: GPS (Global Positioning System) Short_Name: GPS-35 Long_Name: Global Positioning System Satellites-35 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: GPS Short_Name: GPS RECEIVERS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 64.8 degrees Period: 718 minutes Perigee: 20,195 km Orbit_Type: MEO > Semi-Synchronous > Navigation End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-02-12 Online_Resource: http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/satellite_missions/select.cgi?order=by_name&sat_code=GP35&sat_name=GPS-35&sat_no=9305401&tab_id=general Sample_Image: http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/gps.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1993-08-30 Design_Life: 7 Years Primary_Sponsor: U.S. Department of Defense End_GroupEnd_Group DIADEM-1D Diademe-1 D1C and Diadème-2 D1D were launched by CNES, one week apart in February 1967 into elliptical orbits.

Using the unique perspective available from space, NASA will observe, monitor and assess large-scale environmental processes, focusing on climate change. MTPE satellite data, complemented by aircraft and ground data, will allow humans to better understand natural environmental changes and to distinguish natural changes from human induced changes. MTPE data, which NASA will distribute to researchers worldwide, is essential to humans making informed decisions about their environment.The goal of the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) Earth Probe mission (part of NASA's Mission To Planet Earth (MTPE) Phase I program) was to continue the high-resolution global mapping of total ozone on a daily basis (begun with the Nimbus 7 SBUV/TOMS) as well as to detect global ozone trends to verify depletion predicted by atmospheric chemistry models.The TOMS-Earth Probe (TOMS-EP), the first of a series of NASA Earth Probe missions, was one of three TOMS missions which included METEOR 3/TOMS2 (launched 1991) and ADEOS/TOMS (launched 1995). The TOMS-EP carried only one instrument: the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS).The TOMS-EP spacecraft was based on the TRW/DSI Eagle bus developed under the USAF STEP program. The spacecraft was three-axis stabilized so that the TOMS instrument was nadir-pointed with about 0.5 degree control and about 0.1 degree knowledge from measured altitude data. The TOMS-EP spacecraft bus was designed to accomodate all of the TOMS instrument requirements to support a two-year lifetime with a three-year lifetime goal.The EP-TOMS Home Page is located at:http://eospso.nasa.gov/missions/total-ozone-mapping-spectrometer-earth-probeGroup: Platform_Details Entry_ID: EP-TOMS Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: EP-TOMS Long_Name: Earth Probe-TOMS End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: SMEX/TOMS-Earth Probe Short_Name: Small Explorer/TOMS-Earth Probe Short_Name: TOMS-EP96 Short_Name: TOMS-Earth Probe End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: TOMS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 740 km Orbit_Inclination: 98.385 degrees Period: 99.6 minutes Perigee: 490.5 km Apogee: 515.2 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-05-01 Online_Resource: http://eospso.nasa.gov/missions/total-ozone-mapping-spectrometer-earth-probe Online_Resource: http://science.nasa.gov/missions/toms/ Online_Resource: http://disc.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/acdisc/TOMS Online_Resource: https://ozoneaq.gsfc.nasa.gov/missions Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1996-07-02 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Design_Life: 2 years Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group FLYBY Date=2024-11-19 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: A spaceflight operation in which a spacecraft passes in proximity to another body, usually a target of its space exploration mission and/or a source of a gravity assist (also called swing-by) to impel it towards another target. language code: en A spaceflight operation in which a spacecraft passes in proximity to another body, usually a target of its space exploration mission and/or a source of a gravity assist (also called swing-by) to impel it towards another target. 2024-11-19 09:36:39.0 NAVSTAR The Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellationof orbiting satellites that provides navigation data to militaryand civilian users all over the world.

The apogee was high enough to permit measurements above the interaction regions of suprathermal ions, and also plasma flow measurements at the feet of the magnetospheric field lines. The general form of the spacecraft was a short polygon 137 cm in diameter and 115 cm high. The triaxial antennas were 23 m tip-to-tip. One 6-m boom was provided for remote measurements. The spacecraft weight was 403 kg. Power was supplied by a solar cell array, which charged two 6-ampere-hour nickel-cadmium batteries. The spacecraft was three-axis stabilized with the yaw axis aligned toward the center of the earth to within 1 deg. The spin axis was normal to the orbit plane within 1 deg with a spin rate of one revolution per orbit. A single-axis scan platform was included in order to mount the low-altitude plasma instrument (81-070B-08). The platform rotated about the spin axis. A pulse code modulation telemetry data system was used that operated in real time or in a tape-recorder mode. Data were acquired on a science-problem-oriented basis, with closely coordinated operations of the various instruments, both satellites, and supportive experiments. Measurements were temporarily stored on tape recorders before transmission at an 8:1 playback-to-record ratio. Since commands were also stored in a command memory unit, spacecraft operations were not real time.

This highly successful spacecraft has helped scientists answerfundamental questions about the causes and makeup of the aurora. FAST was launched on August 21, 1996 from a Pegasus rocket into a highlyelliptical orbit. It crosses Earth's auroral zones (donut shaped regionscentered on the poles) four times each orbit, and only collects high-resolutiondata ('snapshots') while in those zones. It ventures high into the chargedparticle environment of the aurora to measure the electric and magnetic fields,plasma waves, energetic electrons and ions, ion mass composition, and thermalplasma density and temperature.The FAST instrument set consists of sixteen electrostatic analyzers, fourelectric field langmuir probes suspended on 30 m wire booms, two electric fieldlangmuir probes on 3 m extendible booms, searchcoil and fluxgate magnetometersand a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The science investigation makesextremely temporal and spatial resolution measurements of the auroral plasma atapogee altitude. The instrument hardware consists of the sensor assemblies andan instrument data processor. The instrument electronics include a 32-bit dataprocessing unit that performs the science data processing and recording in aone gigabit, solid-state memory. The stored data are transferred to the groundat one of three selectable high data rates of 900 Kbps, 1.5 Mbps or 2.25 Mbps.The instruments weigh 51 kg; the total observatory mass is 191 kg. The FASTmission is in a 351 x 4175 km orbit with an 83? inclination.The FAST observatory is a 12 rpm, spin-stabilized spacecraft with its spin axisoriented parallel to the orbit axis. Spin rate and spin-axis orientation aremaintained by two magnetic torquer coils, one spinning Sun sensor, one horizoncrossing indicator and a spacecraft magnetometer. The Attitude Control System(ACS) provides closed-loop spin-rate control. Spin-axis precession is performedopen loop and is closed via ground commands. After computation on the ground,attitude knowledge is accurate to within one degree.The body-mounted solar array contains 5.6 m2 of solar cells that can distribute52 W of orbit average power to the spacecraft and instruments. The orbitaverage power consumption of the spacecraft hardware is 33 W. The instrumentsconsume 19 W orbit average power, 39 W when operating. Instruments arefrequently powered off in order to maintain a positive energy balance.The data system for the FAST mission consists of dual 8085, 8-bit spacecraftcomputers. The spacecraft computers perform health and safety functions, powerdistribution, data encoding/decoding and launch vehicle interface. Amulti-element micropatch antenna mounted on a boom above the spacecraftsupports ground communications. Commands are uplinked at 2 Kbps. Health andsafety data is telemetered to the ground at 4 Kbps. A Transportable OrbitalTracking Station (TOTS) was placed in Alaska to collect real-time sciencetelemetry while the spacecraft is passing through the northern aurora. TOTS ishighly automated and portable; it has an 8 m antenna with 200 W of uplink powerand can be packed for shipment in three ISO containers. The FAST instruments consist of:Electric Field Experiment: The electric field experiment is composed of threeorthogonal boom pairs. Spherical sensors deployed on radial wire and axialstacer booms will provide information on the plasma density and electrontemperature.Magnetic Field Experiment: The magnetic field experiment consists of twomagnetometers mounted 180? apart on deployable graphite epoxy booms. The searchcoil magnetometer uses a three-axis sensor system to provide magnetic fielddata over the frequency range of 10 Hz to 2.5 kHz. The flux gate magnetometeris a three-axis system using high, stable, low noise, ring core sensors toprovide magnetic field information for DC to 100 Hz.Time-of-Flight Energy Angle Mass Spectrograph (TEAMS): The TEAMS instrument isa high sensitivity, mass-resolving spectrometer that measures fullthree-dimension distribution functions of the major ion species with one spinof the spacecraft. The TEAMS experiment covers the core of all plasmadistributions of importance in the auroral region.Electrostatic Analyzers (ESA): Sixteen ESAs configured in four stacks will beused for both electron and ion measurements. The four stacks are placed aroundthe spacecraft such that the entire package is provided a full 360? field ofview. The ESAs can provide a 64-step energy sweep, covering approximately 3 eVto 30 KeV up to 16 times per second.For more information, see:http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/fast/Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: FAST Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Solar/Space Observation Satellites Short_Name: FAST Long_Name: Fast Auroral Snapshot Explorer End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Explorer 70 Short_Name: SMEX/FAST Short_Name: Small Explorer/FAST Short_Name: 24285 Short_Name: 1996-049A End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: MFS/FAST Short_Name: EFS/FAST Short_Name: ESA/FAST Short_Name: TEAMS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 83 degrees Period: 133 m Perigee: 350 km Apogee: 4175 km Orbit_Type: HEO > Highly Elliptical Orbit End_Group Online_Resource: http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/fast/intro.html Sample_Image: http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/fast/graphics/fast.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1996-08-21 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group Applications Technology Satellite Date=2024-10-28 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Advanced Technology Satellite (ATS) [14b369b6-19d4-41fe-b1bc-27807ecb666d,1864897] - ATS-6 [ebd7e208-ec1a-415a-a2a8-6c5a5022b795,1875502] Date=2024-11-08 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: null text: Advanced Technology Satellite (ATS) language code: en Date=2022-02-27 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: The overall objective of the Applications Technology Satellite (ATS) program was to investigate and flight-test technological developments common to a number of satellite applications.

The OSO 7 platform consisted of a sail section, which pointed two experiments continually toward the sun, and a wheel section, which spun about an axis perpendicular to the pointing direction of the sail and carried four experiments. Attitude adjustment was performed by gas jets and a magnetic torquing coil. A pointing control permitted the pointed experiments to scan the region of the solar disk in a 60- by 60-arc-min raster pattern. In addition, the pointed section could be commanded to select and scan any 7.5- by 5-arc-min region near the solar disk. Data were simultaneously recorded on tape and transmitted by PCM/PM telemetry. A command system provided for at least 155 ground-based commands. Only real-time data have been received since May 1973, when the second tape recorder failed. The spacecraft reentered the earth's atmosphere July 9, 1974.Auxiliary Information Launch Date and Time : 1971-09-29 09:50:00 Epoch Date and Time : 1971-09-30 Orbit Type : Geocentric Apogee(km) : 572.

The spacecraft was also designed and developed by KhSC of Moscow.The Monitor-E mission represents the first operational use of the newly developed modular and multipurpose Yakhta platform, intended for use in various remote sensing, communications, and space research applications.Spacecraft:The spacecraft is 3-axis stabilized using the generic Yakhta platform with a launch mass of 750 kg. The attitude pointing accuracy is 0.1º, the attitude rate control accuracy is 0.001º/s (angular drift). Power of 1200 W (max at EOL) is provided by two solar panels. The spacecraft features a cross-track pointing capability of ±30º from nadir by using a flywheel system, thereby providing a FOR (Field of Regard) for observation coverage considerably beyond that of the nominal swath width. This new S/C agility is provided by the introduction of a CMG (Control Moment Gyro) subsystem, an actuator within the ADCS (Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem), developed by Russian industry. KhSC refers to the ADCS as ICS (Integrated Control System). The S/C system design life is 5 years.Note: The Monitor-E spacecraft is of Monitor-E heritage (same name of previous and current missions) which was launched on June 30, 2003 from Plesetsk on a Rockot KS vehicle. On this flight, Monitor-E functioned as a mock-up (or prototype) spacecraft of KhSC with a mass of 700 kg. The spacecraft Monitor-E remained attached to the upper stage of the launch vehicle, it was used for demonstration purposes. RF communications: The payload data are being received in X-band by ground stations of federal, regional, and local levels in Russia. An effort is being made to acquire the data in near real-time in support of fast reaction response applications.Orbit: Sun-synchronous near-circular orbit: mean altitude = 540 km, inclination = 97.5º.Launch: A launch of Monitor-E took place on Aug. 26, 2005 on a Rockot Breeze-KM launch vehicle of Eurockot Launch Services from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia.Mission status: Monitor-E is operational as of 2007. So far, the spacecraft has collected imagery of more than 80 million km2.• After launch and orbit insertion, the spacecraft experienced initial attitude control problems (flight controllers lost contact with the satellite). However, the flight controllers have regained control of Monitor-E, all systems are operating nominally and the spacecraft is in the commissioning phase as of early November 2005 (the checkout phase is estimated to last for up to 6 months to test the new components of the platform and the payload - and to conduct various operational experiments).• In Sept. 2006, Monitor-E experienced a malfunction of its ADCS (Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem). After analysis of the problem nature, a software work-around procedure was developed and successfully installed onboard.Information obtained from http://www.eoportal.org/Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: MONITOR-E Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: MONITOR-E-1 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Monitor Experimental End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: CAMERAS Short_Name: MS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 540 km Orbit_Inclination: 97.5 degrees Period: 95.2 minutes Perigee: 532.0 km Apogee: 539.2 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-07-10 Online_Resource: http://directory.eoportal.org/get_announce.php?an_id=11116 Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2005-08-26 Launch_Site: Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia Design_Life: 5 years Primary_Sponsor: Khrunichev Space Center, Russia End_GroupEnd_Group 2021-11-16 Space-based Platforms Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] -

For the first time, a national competition involving students in elementary and secondary schools produced the name of the new orbiter; it was announced by President George Bush in 1989. The Space Shuttle orbiter Endeavour was delivered to Kennedy Space Center in May 1991, and flew its first mission, highlighted by the dramatic rescue of a stranded communications satellite, a year later in May 1992.Endeavour features new hardware designed to improve and expand orbiter capabilities. Most of this equipment was later incorporated into the other three orbiters during out-of-service major inspection and modification programs. Endeavour's upgrades include:-A 40-foot diameter drag chute that is expected to reduce the orbiter's rollout distance by 1,000 to 2,000 feet.-The plumbing and electrical connections needed for Extended Duration Orbiter (EDO) modifications to allow up to 28-day missions.-Updated avionics systems that include advanced general purpose computers, improved inertial measurement units and tactical air navigation systems, enhanced master events controllers and multiplexer-demultiplexers, a solid-state star tracker and improved nose wheel steering mechanisms.-An improved version of the Auxiliary Power Units (APU's) that provide power to operate the Shuttle's hydraulic systems.[Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: OV-105 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: OV-105 Long_Name: Endeavour Space Shuttle End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Endeavour End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-25 Online_Resource: http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/resources/orbiters/endeavour.html Sample_Image: http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/images/medium/02pd0590-m.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1992-05-07 Launch_Site: Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, USA Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2023-10-13 17:22:36.0 2020-06-24 GHGSat-D Date=2020-06-24 User Id=mmorahan Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=GHGSat-D [1aabc727-a8d8-4dff-a248-8e485d147b00,560484] - GHGSat [82823ffa-e4d5-4877-bf0a-b9eb5b8c1108,560482] Date=2020-06-25 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=reference System Note=update Definition New Value=https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/g/ghgsat-d https://www.ghgsat.com/our-platforms/claire/ Date=2020-06-24 User Id=mmorahan Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Greenhouse Gas Satellite - Demonstrator language code: en Date=2020-06-25 User Id=mmorahan Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: 28a3ae40-6383-47e3-a1b8-a9f6503c5fd5 relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2020-06-25 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: GHGSat's demonstration satellite GHGSat-D, nicknamed "Claire" was successfully launched at 23:56 EDT on 21 June 2016, and reached its planned orbit less than 30 minutes later.

It was designed for the purpose of (1) testing new concepts in spacecraft design, propulsion, and stabilization, (2) collecting high-quality cloudcover pictures and relaying processed meteorological data via an earth-synchronous satellite, (3) providing in situ measurements of the aerospace environment, and (4) testing improved communication systems. The spin-stabilized spacecraft was cylindrically shaped and measured 135 cm long and 142 cm in diameter. The primary structural members were a honeycombed equipment shelf and thrust tube. Support rods extended radially outward from the thrust tube. Solar panels were affixed to the support rods and formed the outer walls of the spacecraft. In addition to solar panels, the spacecraft was equipped with two rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries to provide electrical power. Equipment components and payload were mounted in the annular space between the thrust tube and solar panels. This satellite carried a spin scan cloudcover camera, particle telescope, biaxal fluxgate magnetometer, suprathermal ion detector, omnidirectional spectrometer, weather facsimile data relay system, and VHF, telemetry and command antennas. Spacecraft guidance and orbital corrections were accomplished by a 2.3 kg hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine thrusters, which were activated by ground command. The satellite was initially placed at 151.16 degrees West over the Pacific Ocean in a geosynchronous orbit. In general, most of the experiments were successful. Data coverage was nominal until about 1970, after which limited real-time data acquisition was carried out by NOAA until the May 1974 launch of SMS 1. Limited ATS 1 data acquisition was started by NASA at about that time for ATS 1 - ATS 6 correlative studies. The spacecraft served as a communications satellite for a number of state, federal, and public organizations. It continued to operate at its final longitude of 164 degress East until September 1983, when the spacecraft was moved out of the geostationary orbit. __________ Taken from the NSSDC System for Information Retrieval and Storage (SIRS).

New Value=The ATS 1 spacecraft shows its Syncom heritage, but at 351.5 kg (775 lb) on-orbit, with a length of 1.5 m (54 inches), was a larger and a much more capable satellite than its predecessor. In addition to a C-band transponder, ATS-1 carried a VHF experiment for communications with aircraft, ships, meteorological remote terminals, and to evaluate VHF satellite navigation. It used an eight-element phased array antenna with a 5 Watt transmitter for each element. The spacecraft was spin stabilized and had solar cells mounted around the barrel shaped body to provide 175 Watts of electrical power.

The overall objective is to provide scene-specific spot imagery in high resolution to the Indian Armed Forces - which is in the process of establishing an Aerospace Command.The spacecraft and its payload, built by ISRO, is practically an identical copy of the CartoSat-2 spacecraft of ISRO. It features a lightweight and compact bus structure using the BMU (Bus Management Unit) for integrated bus functions (of the AOCS, TT&C, etc.). The spacecraft is 3-axis stabilized using high torque reaction wheels, magnetic torquers, and hydrazine thrusters. Attitude sensing is provided by a high performance star sensor and by an improved IRU (Inertial Reference Unit). The satellite is very agile providing a body-pointing capability in along-track and cross-track of up to ±45º (this supports a revisit capability of certain target regions within 4 days). Also use of the SPS (Satellite Positioning System), an 8-channel GPS receiver (C/A code) on-board for the provision of instantaneous state vectors (state vector using pseudo range and range rate measurements) for the spacecraft.The fixed solar arrays (triple-junction solar cells) provide a power of 900 W when pointed toward the sun; two NiCd batteries of 18 Ah capacity are being used for ecliptic phase bridging.CartoSat-2A has a launch mass of 690 kg and a design life of 5 years. Launch: The launch of CartoSat-2A took place on April 28, 2008 on a PSLV launcher. The launch was conducted from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota space station in southern India. Next to the primary payload of CartoSat-2A, the PSLV-C9 vehicle successfully launched the IMS-1 (Indian Microsatellite-1) of 83 kg and eight nanosatellites for international customers.Sensor complement:PAN Camera (Panchromatic Camera). The objective is to provide imagery for cartographic applications. The optical system is designed with two mirror Ritchey-Chretien on-axis obscured reflective telescope system with a concave hyperboloidal primary mirror and convex hyperboloid secondary mirrors and the field correcting relay optics. The mirrors are made of special Zerodur glass and are light-weighted to about 60% as in CartoSat-1 series. The mirrors are mounted inside the telescope cylinder made of CFRP with special MFDs (Mirror Fixation Devices) and the whole telescope assembly is mounted to the spacecraft structure through a special suspension arrangement. The optical system is designed to provide < 1 m resolution across track. The along track GSD of < 1 m is achieved by apparent velocity reduction by a factor of 2.5.The spacecraft can be suitably biased to provide various modes of imaging:1) Continuous strip monoscopic mode2) Spot scene imaging (strips on either side of the ground track can be imaged)3) Paint brush mode of imaging. This mode is used to increase the total swath. Both roll tilt and pitch tilt is employed.The PAN Camera is a nadir-pointing pushbroom CCD instrument (detector line array of 12, 288 pixels), observing in the visible spectral range of 0.5-0.85 µm with a GSD (Ground Sample Distance) of < 1 m, and a swath width of 9.6 km at nadir. The spacecraft is being monitored and controlled from the ISRO mission control center in Bangalore, India using the ISTRAC network of stations at Bangalore, Lucknow, Mauritius, Bearslake in Russia, Biak in Indonesia and Svalbard in Norway.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: CARTOSAT-2A Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: CARTOSAT-2A End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: PAN End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 635 km Orbit_Inclination: 97.94 degrees Period: 97.4 minutes Repeat_Cycle: 4 days Perigee: 628.7 km Apogee: 653.2 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-06-27 Online_Resource: http://directory.eoportal.org/get_announce.php?an_id=10000443 Online_Resource: http://www.isro.org/pslv-c9/cartosat2a.htm Sample_Image: http://directory.eoportal.org/presentations/7336/CartoSat2A_Auto2.jpeg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2008-04-28 Launch_Site: Sriharikota Island, India Design_Life: 5 YEARS Primary_Sponsor: Ministry of Defense of the Government of India End_GroupEnd_Group 2019-02-20 16:02:52.0 GMS-4 The Geostationary Meteorological Satellite series are spin-stabilized satellites.

The OSO 1 was the first satellite to have pointed instruments andonboard tape recorders for data storage. The OSO 1 platform consisted of asail section, which pointed two experiments continuously toward the sun,supplying power to the experiments from the solar batteries and rechargeablechemical batteries; and a wheel section, which spun about an axis perpendicularto the pointing direction of the sail and carried seven experiments. Attitudeadjustment was performed by gas jets. Data were simultaneously recorded on tapeand transmitted by FM telemetry. A command system provided for 10 ground-basedcommands. The spacecraft performed normally until the second onboard taperecorder failed May 15, 1962. The spacecraft provided real-time data until May1964, when the power cells failed.General Information:Designation: 00255 / 62006ALaunch date: 7 Mar 1962Country of origin: United StatesMission: Scientific (Sun observation)Perigee/Apogee: 522/553 kmInclination: 32.8°Period: 95.3 minLaunch vehicle: Thor Delta #8End of Life:Out of service Apr 1963Decay 8 Oct 1981Additional information available at'http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/missions/oso1.html'[Summary provided by NASA and The Satellite Encyclopedia]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: OSO-1 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Solar/Space Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: OSO (Orbiting Solar Observatory) Short_Name: OSO-1 Long_Name: Orbiting Solar Observatory-1 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: OSO-1 End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 32.8 degrees Period: 95.3 min Perigee: 522 km Apogee: 553 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-12-14 Online_Resource: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/missions/oso1.html Sample_Image: http://www.nasm.si.edu/spacecraft/images/SS-Astro/A19820270000d.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1962-03-07 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group OSO-6 The objectives of the OSO satellite series were to perform solar physicsexperiments above the atmosphere during a complete solar cycle and to map thecelestial sphere for direction and intensity of UV light, X-rays, and gammaradiation.General Information:Designation: 04065 / 69068ALaunch date: 9 Aug 1969Country of origin: United StatesMission Scientific: Sun observationPerigee/Apogee: 489/554 kmInclination: 32.9°Period: 95.1 minLaunch vehicle: Thor Delta #72Out of service: Jan 1972Decay: 7 Mar 1981Additional information available at'http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/missions/oso6.html'[Summary provided by The Satellite Encyclopedia]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: OSO-6 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Solar/Space Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: OSO (Orbiting Solar Observatory) Short_Name: OSO-6 Long_Name: Orbiting Solar Observatory-6 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: OSO-6 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: GAMMA RADIATION DETECTOR End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 32.9 degrees Period: 95.1 min Perigee: 489 km Apogee: 554 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-12-14 Online_Resource: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/missions/oso6.html Sample_Image: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/Images/oso/oso7.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1969-08-09 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES) Date=2022-03-04 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: Complementing the geostationary satellites are polar-orbiting satellites known as POES, S-NPP, and JPSS-1 (now NOAA-20). NOAA-20 is the first of the JPSS Series. Polar orbiting satellites constantly circle the Earth in an almost north-south orbit, passing close to both poles. The POES satellite system offers the advantage of daily global coverage, by making nearly polar orbits 14 times per day approximately 520 miles above the surface of the Earth. The Earth's rotation allows the satellite to see a different view with each orbit, and each satellite provides two complete views of weather around the world each day. NOAA partners with the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) to constantly operate two polar-orbiting satellites – one POES and one European polar-orbiting satellite called Metop. The POES instruments include the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) instrument and the Advanced TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder (ATOVS) suite. The EUMETSAT-provided Microwave Humidity Sounder (MHS) instrument completes the ATOVS suite. The AVHRR/ATOVS provides visible, infrared, and microwave data which is used for a variety of applications such as cloud and precipitation monitoring, determination of surface properties, and humidity profiles. Data from the POES series supports a broad range of environmental monitoring applications including weather analysis and forecasting, climate research and prediction, global sea surface temperature measurements, atmospheric soundings of temperature and humidity, ocean dynamics research, volcanic eruption monitoring, forest fire detection, global vegetation analysis, search and rescue, and many other applications. The orbits are circular, with an altitude between 830 (morning orbit) and 870 (afternoon orbit) km, and are sun synchronous. One satellite crosses the equator at 7:30 a.m. local time, the other at 1:40 p.m. local time. The circular orbit permits uniform data acquisition by the satellite and efficient control of the satellite by the NOAA Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) stations located near Fairbanks, Alaska and Wallops Island, Virginia. Operating as pair, these satellites ensure that data for any region of the Earth are no more than six hours old. A suite of instruments is able to measure many parameters of the Earth's atmosphere, its surface, cloud cover, incoming solar protons, positive ions, electron-flux density, and the energy spectrum at the satellite altitude. As a part of the mission, the satellites can receive, process and retransmit data from Search and Rescue beacon transmitters, and automatic data collection platforms on land, ocean buoys, or aboard free-floating balloons. language code: en Date=2017-11-27 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=NOAA POES (Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites) [e8baa3a4-ef5a-455a-bf25-d61e59fc9bb3,288767] - NOAA-20 [586db0b3-5f94-466e-b7c1-a2dbedc0c1fc,287835] Date=2017-11-27 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add narrower relation New Value=NOAA POES (Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites) [e8baa3a4-ef5a-455a-bf25-d61e59fc9bb3,288767] - JPSS-1 [586db0b3-5f94-466e-b7c1-a2dbedc0c1fc,287835] Date=2021-12-01 User Id=tstevens Entity=PrefLabel Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update PrefLabel Old Value=NOAA POES (Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites) New Value=Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites (POES) Complementing the geostationary satellites are polar-orbiting satellites known as POES, S-NPP, and JPSS-1 (now NOAA-20).

Timely location of scintillation outage regions would enable the warfighter to modify mission plans and prevent potential mission failures by optimizing and tailoring communications routes, paths, and/or priorities and effectively use satellite communications, navigation, and surveillance assets. It will include three critical elements. The first is a space-borne sensor system consisting of seven proven sensors to provide data for global, real-time specification, and 4 hour forecast capability. The second is a series of regional ground networks that augment the space based sensors for real time, high resolution coverage in theater. The third is a forecasting/decision aid software package that produces tailored space environmental forecasts and warnings in the form of outage maps for the warfighter.Information provided by http://www.fas.org/spp/military/program/nssrm/initiatives/cnofs.htmGroup: Platform_Details Entry_ID: C/NOFS Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Solar/Space Observation Satellites Short_Name: C/NOFS Long_Name: Communication and Navigation Outage Forecast System End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: C/NOFS End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: GPS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Type: MEO > Semi-Synchronous > Navigation End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-08-13 Online_Resource: http://www.fas.org/spp/military/program/nssrm/initiatives/cnofs.htmEnd_Group STELLA Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=STELLA [149dcad2-bf7c-4c0c-bb53-5ae32d71ecfb,825993] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,826121] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=STELLA [149dcad2-bf7c-4c0c-bb53-5ae32d71ecfb,825993] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=STELLA [149dcad2-bf7c-4c0c-bb53-5ae32d71ecfb,825993] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=STELLA [149dcad2-bf7c-4c0c-bb53-5ae32d71ecfb,825993] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,826121] Stella was a 48 kg French satellite that was launched along withSPOT 3.

The principal scientific objective is to understand variations of ocean circulation and heat/salt transports with emphasis on ENSO, the Asian monsoon, and decadal scale variability that influences world wide climate change. In its first phase, the TRITON array will be established mainly in the western tropical pacific Ocean, and harmonized with TAO array which are presently maintained by Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL), NOAA. The fundamental functions of TRITON are (1) basin scale ENSO monitoring, and (2) measurements of heat, freshwater, momentum fluxes for improving modeling capability. The TRITON (Triangle Trans-Ocean buoy network) is a series of buoys for measuring surface meteorology and upper ocean. The buoys will be deployed by JAMSTEC in collaboration with many countries in and around the Pacific Ocean as part of international climate research programs. The buoys measure wind, air temperature, humidity, precipitation, short wave radiation, water temperature, salinity and current. The water temperature and will be measured down to 750m depth. The data will be transmitted via satellite near real time and provided to researchers in the world.

TROPICS comprises a constellation of CubeSats in three low-Earth orbital planes.

AIMP-1 was a spin-stabilized spacecraft with spin axis parallel to the ecliptic plane, and spin period varying between 2.2 sec and 3.6 sec. The spacecraft was instrumented for studies of interplanetary plasma, energetic charged particles [electrons, protons and helium ions (alpha particles)], magnetic fields, and solar X-rays at lunar distances. Unfortunately, the spacecraft failed to achieve lunar orbit but did achieve major mission objectives. The initial AIMP-1 apogee occurred at about 16:00 hour local time. Over the first 3-year period, perigee varied between 6 earth radii and 44 earth radii and apogee varied between 70 earth radii and 135 earth radii. The inclination with respect to the equatorial plane of the earth varied between 7 degrees and 60 degrees.

The cylindrically-shaped spacecraft measured 142 cm in diameter and 183 cm in length. The primary structural members were a corrugated thrust tube with honeycombed bulkheads secured to each end. Equipment components and payload were externally mounted on the outer surface of the thrust tube as well as on a structure that slid into the interior of the thrust tube. Electric power was provided by two solar arrays mounted on either end of the spacecraft's outer shell and by two rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries. Extending radially outward from the side of the spacecraft were four 28.2 m adjustable gravity-gradient booms. The spacecraft telemetry system consisted of four 2.1-W transmitters, (two at 136.47 MHz and two at 137.35 MHz), in addition to a microwave communications experiment. This satellite featured an image orthicon (day/night) camera for the purpose of determining the feasibility of simultaneous day/night imaging of cloud cover patterns from an earth-synchronous spacecraft. The second stage of the launch vehicle failed to to ignite, and the planned synchronous orbit was not achieved. The spacecraft and its Centaur booster rocket were left attached together in a parking orbit. In spite of the anomalistic attitude, some of the experiments did perform successfully before the satellite and its attached rocket booster reentered the earth's atmosphere on October 17, 1968. The primary objective of inserting a gravity-gradient-stabilized spacecraft into a geosynchronous orbit was not accomplished.

The spacecraft was deactivated after 61 minutes when the Centaur rocket failed to ignite. The satellite's orbit was too low and the resulting atmospheric drag caused it to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere. Although the spacecraft was not stable, due to this low orbit, NASA engineers successfully turned on several of the experiments to collect as much information as possible before the satellite broke apart on October 17, 1968. The ATS-4 was launched to evaluate gravity-gradient stabilization and new imaging techniques for meteorological data retrieval. The spacecraft was deactivated after 61 minutes when the Centaur rocket failed to ignite. The satellite's orbit was too low and the resulting atmospheric drag caused it to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere.Although the spacecraft was not stable, due to this low orbit, NASA engineers successfully turned on several of the experiments to collect as much information as possible before the satellite broke apart on October 17, 1968. 2024-11-08 10:35:20.0 2017-08-14 India's Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) Date=2017-08-15 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: IRNSS is an independent regional navigation satellite system being developed by India.

It was successfully 'anchored' to the earth's moon, and stayed that way during its operational life. The AIMP-2 sensors were designed to study the interplanetary plasmas, the magnetic fields, fluxes of energetic particles, and solar X-rays. The spacecraft was launched into an elliptical lunar orbit. The spin axis direction was nearly perpendicular to the ecliptic plane, and the AIMP-2 spin rate was 25.6 rpm, giving a spin period of 2.34 sec. The overall AIMP-2 mission objectives were achieved. After successful operation and data gathering for 6 years, the spacecraft was turned off on June 24, 1973.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: EXPLORER-35 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Solar/Space Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: EXPLORER Short_Name: EXPLORER-35 Long_Name: Interplanetary Monitoring Platform D (IMP-E) End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: AIMP 2 Short_Name: AIMP-E Short_Name: IMP-E End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-12-14 Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/masterCatalog.do?sc=1967-070A Sample_Image: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/image/spacecraft/explorer_35.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1967-07-19 Launch_Site: Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group EXPLORER-31 (DME-A) The Direct Measurement Explorer-A (DME-A) satellite was launched in November 1965 into a near-earth orbit ranging between altitudes of 500 and 3000 km to sample and measure charged particles. The attitude control system is used to keep the spin axis aligned with the orbit normal and to maintain the spin rate. Spin axis control is achieved by a chargeable permanent magnet system which is operated upon command and reacts with the earth's field to produce precession of several degrees per minute. With this system the spin axis was kept within 10 degrees of the orbit normal for several weeks at a time, although larger deviations have been tolerated. The spin rate was observed to decay at 0.05 rpm per day. Periodic use of the spin rate control system has compensated for spin decay. This system is analogous to a DC motor in which the entire satellite is the armature.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: EXPLORER-31 (DME-A) Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Solar/Space Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: EXPLORER Short_Name: EXPLORER-31 (DME-A) End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Explorer-A Short_Name: Explorer 31 Short_Name: 01806 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: SPHERICAL MASS SPECTROMETER Short_Name: ELECTROSTATIC ANALYZERS Short_Name: ENERGETIC ELECTRON CURRENT MONITOR Short_Name: ELECTRON TEMPERATURE PROBE Short_Name: MAGNETIC ION-MASS SPECTROMETER End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 79.80 degrees Period: 119.70 min Perigee: 505 km Apogee: 2833 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-12-14 Online_Resource: http://stinet.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=AD0656730 Sample_Image: http://www.daviddarling.info/images/DME.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1965-11-29 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2022-03-15 SAOCOM-1A Date=2022-03-16 User Id=mmorahan Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: cd232e58-5c61-4d07-becf-2f2fb5af1001 relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2022-03-15 User Id=mmorahan Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=SAOCOM-1A [804292cd-616b-491b-a477-7954368104b6,836081] - SAOCOM [1669252a-0ee7-4491-a1ff-9523a2cd916d,836080] Date=2022-03-15 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: The SAOCOM (SAtélite Argentino de Observación COn Microondas) satellite series represents Argentina's approved polarimetric L-band SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) constellation of two spacecraft, a program defined, managed and operated by CONAE (Comisión Nacional de Actividades Espaciales), Argentina's Space Agency, Buenos Aires.

Of the 11 experiments on board, 8 were technological engineering experiments concerned with navigation, communications, and spacecraft operation equipment; 2 were photographic imaging experiments that produced near real-time daylight pictures of the earth-atmosphere system; and the remaining experiment was an ionospheric beacon. The spin-stabilized spacecraft was cylindrically shaped and measured 180 cm in length and 142 cm in diameter. The primary structural members were a honeycombed equipment shelf and thrust tube. Support rods extended radially outward from the thrust tube and were affixed to solar panels which formed the outer walls of the spacecraft. Equipment components and payload were mounted in the annular space between the thrust tube and solar panels. In addition to solar panels, the spacecraft was equipped with two rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries to provide electrical power. This satellite supported an image dissector camera, multicolor spin scan cloud cover camera, weather facsimile data relay system, omega position and location equipment designed to demonstrate the feasibility of using the NAVY's Omega Navigation System, and VHF, telemetry, and command antennas. Spacecraft guidance and orbital corrections were accomplished by 2.3 kg hydrogen peroxide and hydrazine thrusters, which were activated by ground command. Initially placed at 48 degrees West over the Atlantic Ocean in a geosynchronous orbit, the satellite position later varied between 45 and 95 degrees West in support of meteorological operations. In general, the various experiments were successful.

This program, previously known as DAAP (Data Acquisition and Processing Program), was classified until March 1973. The objectives of this program are to provide global visual and infrared cloud-cover data and specialized environmental data to support Department of Defense requirements. Operationally, the program consisted of two satellites in planned 830-km sun-synchronous polar orbits, with the ascending node of one satellite in early morning and the other at local noon. The 5.4-m long spacecraft was separated into four sections: (1) a precision mounting platform (PMP) for sensors and equipment requiring precise alignment, (2) an equipment support module (ESM) containing the electronics, reaction wheels, and some meteorological sensors, (3) a reaction control equipment (RCE) support structure (including the third-stage motor, hydrazine reaction control system) that supported (4) a 9.29 sq m solar cell panel. The spacecraft stabilization was controlled by a combination flywheel and magnetic control coil system, so that sensors were maintained in the desired 'earth-looking' mode. One feature was the precision-pointing accuracy of the primary imager to 0.01 deg provided by a star sensor and an updated ephemeris navigation system. This allowed automatic geographical mapping of the digital imagery to the nearest picture element. The operational line scan system (OLS) built by Westinghouse, was the primary data acquisition system that provided real-time or stored, multi-orbit, day-and-night visual and infrared imagery at 1/3 nautical mile resolution for all major land masses, 1-1/2 nautical mile resolution for complete global coverage, and provided with this data calibration, timing, and other auxiliary signals to the spacecraft for digital transmission to the ground. A supplementary sensor package, the special sensor H (SSH), a step-scanning radiometer, was the infrared temperature-humidity-ozone sounder. The data processing system, which included three high-density tape recorders, was capable of storing a total of 400 min of data, each allowing full global coverage twice daily. Either recorded or real-time data were transmitted to ground-receiving sites by two redundant S-band transmitters. Recorded data were read out to tracking sites located at Fairchild AFB, WA, and Loring AFB, ME, and relayed by SATCOM to Air Fource Global Weather Central, Offutt AFB, NE. Real-time data were read out at mobile tactical sites located around the world. A more complete description of the satellite can be found in the report `The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program,' D.A.

Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Gemini (GPS-based Orbit Estimation and Laser Metrology forIntersatellite Navigation) is a technology mission, proposed byDLR?s German Space Operations Center (GSOC), Astrium GmbH, andVectronic Aerospace GmbH. aiming The major Gemini missionobjective is the controlled establishment of a satelliteformation in a low-Earth orbit. To that end, advanced in-orbittechnologies will be demonstrated based on laser metrology, aswell as innovative GPS-based approaches to relativenavigation. As part of its technological objectives, the Geminiformation control will entirely be based on an autonomous orbitcontrol approach. Secondary mission objectives concern theseparation concept from the launcher, the drift stop and thedevelopment of a controlled formation acquisition strategy. Asa technology demonstration mission, emphasis is given to anindependent verification of the relative distance by means of alaser radar sensor. To allow a formation flying demonstrationfor a wide ran ge of applications, the technologies for thecontrol of the relative distance cover both the regime of closeand wide formations ranging from several hundreds of meters upto 100 km. In contrast to the relaxed orbit controlrequirements of nowadays formations, Gemini aims at a relativeposition keeping of several cm to several meters, that isexpected to be of significance for many of the upcomingformation flying missions and, in addition, paves the way foreven more advanced requirements, such as for SMART 2. Toachieve that level of control accuracy, the Gemini sensors haveto provide relative position measurements in the range ofmillimeters or better, that may not be achievable solely usinga spaceborne GPS receiver.

The Aeronomy research will addressscientific problem areas in the stratosphere and mesosphere bymaking measurements of various trace species. The scientificgoals can be summarized as follows:1. Stratospheric ozone science: To elucidate the geographicalextent of and mechanisms responsible for ozone depletion in the'ozone hole' region and to study dilution effects and possibleheterogeneous chemistry even outside of the polar regions due tosulphate aerosols2. Mesospheric ozone science: To establish the relative role ofodd hydrogen chemistry and the effects of ordered and turbulenttransport and corpuscular radiation.3. Summer mesospheric science: To establish the variability ofmesospheric water vapor including an assessment of the requiredfluxes for aerosol formation in the polar mesosphere.4. Coupling of atmospheric regions: To study some of themechanisms that provide coupling between the upper and loweratmosphere, eg downward transport of aurorally enhanced NO withits effects on ozone photo chemistry and the vertical exchangeof minor species such as odd oxygen, CO and H2O.Odin will work in unexplored bands of the electromagneticspectrum, around wavelengths of 0.5 mm and 3 mm. These containemission lines from important molecules such as water vapor,molecular oxygen, ozone and carbon monoxide.

GOES-9, which is currentlypartially operational, is being provided to the Japanese MeteorologicalAgency to replace their failing geostationary satellite.GOES I-M represents the next generation of meteorological satellitesand introduces two new features. The first feature, flexible scan,offers small-scale area imaging that lets meteorologists take picturesof local weather trouble spots. This allows them to improve short-termforecasts over local areas. The second feature, simultaneous andindependent imaging and sounding, is designed to allow weatherforecasters to use multiple measurements of weather phenomena toincrease the accuracy of their forecasts.Each satellite in the series carries two major instruments: an Imagerand a Sounder. These instruments acquire high resolution visible andinfrared data, as well as temperature and moisture profiles of theatmosphere. They continuously transmit these data to ground terminalswhere the data are processed for rebroadcast to primary weatherservices both in the United States and around the world, including theglobal research community.The GOES I-M mission is scheduled to run from the mid-1990s into thefirst decade of the 21st century. Each element of the mission hasbeen designed to meet all in-orbit performance requirements for atleast five years.The GOES I-M system performs the following basic functions:+ Acquisition, processing, and dissemination of imaging andsounding data.+ Acquisition and dissemination of Space Environment Monitor(SEM) data.+ Reception and relay of data from ground-based Data CollectionPlatforms (DCPs) that are situated in carefully selected urban andremote areas to the NOAA Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) station.+ Continuous relay of Weather Facsimile (WEFAX) and other data tousers, independent of all other functions.+ Relay of distress signals from people, aircraft, or marine vesselsto the search and rescue ground stations of the Search and RescueSatellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) system.GOES provides the instantaneous relay functions for the SARSAT system.A dedicated search and rescue transponder on board GOES is designed todetect emergency distress signals originating from Earth-basedsources. These unique identification signals are normally combinedwith signals received by a low-Earth orbiting satellite system andrelayed to a search and rescue ground terminal. The combined data areused to perform effective search and rescue operations.The GOES I-M system serves a region covering the central and easternPacific Ocean; North, Central, and South America; and the central andwestern Atlantic Ocean. Pacific coverage includes Hawaii and the Gulfof Alaska. This is accomplished by two satellites, GOES West locatedat 135 west longitude and GOES East at 75 west longitude. A commonground station, the CDA station located at Wallops, Virginia,supports the interface to both satellites. The NOAA SatelliteOperations Control Center (SOCC), in Suitland, Maryland, providesspacecraft scheduling, health and safety monitoring, and engineeringanalyses.Delivery of products involves ground processing of the raw instrumentdata for radiometric calibration and Earth location information, andretransmission to the satellite for relay to the data user community.The processed data are received at the control center and disseminatedto the National Weather Service's (NWS) National MeteorologicalCenter, Camp Springs, Maryland, and NWS forecast offices, includingthe National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida, and the National SevereStorms Forecast Center, Kansas City, Missouri. Processed data are alsoreceived by Department of Defense installations, universities, andnumerous private commercial users.*The GOES-9 satellite was replaced by GOES-10 in July 1998*MAIN SPACECRAFT DESIGN ELEMENTSMission life 5 years, minimumDimensions Main body 2 meter (7 foot) cube Deployed length 27 meters (88 feet)Weight 2100 kg (4600 lb)Orbit Geosynchronous Altitude 36,000 km (22,000 mi) Longitude 75W and 135W Latitude equatorial, within 0.5 degreePower 1050 watts &#64 42 volts, solar array; batterybackupLaunch vehicle Atlas-I/Centaur (GOES-I/K), Atlas-II/Centaur(GOES-L/M)Communications Imager and Sounder in GVAR format at 2.1Mbits/secGOES-I/M IMAGERThe GOES Imager is a multi-channel instrument designed to senseradiant and solar-reflected energy from sampled areas of theEarth.

The F3C mission was successfully launched on 15 April 2006. Six identical micro satellites, each carrying an advanced GPS radio occultation (RO) receiver, a Tiny Ionospheric Photometer (TIP) and a Tri Band Beacon (TBB) were deployed. The satellites have since been raised by Taiwan's National Space Organization (NSPO) to their final orbit altitude at 800km to achieve an operational constellation of six orbital planes separated by 30 degrees. The payload science data are currently being downloaded every orbit via two NOAA TT&C stations (in Alaska and Norway) and one NSF/NASA station in McMurdo, Antarctica and transferred to the COSMIC Data Analysis and Archival Center (CDAAC) at UCAR in Boulder. The CDAAC currently processes the COSMIC science data in near real time - Ninety percent of RO profiles are delivered to operational weather centers within 3 hours of observation. CDAAC also reprocesses data in a more accurate post-processed mode (within 6 weeks of observation) for COSMIC as well as other missions including GPS/MET, CHAMP, SAC-C, and GRACE.COSMIC is currently providing between 1000-2500 daily RO profiles in the neutral atmosphere, 1000-2500 daily electron density profiles and total electron content arcs, and TIP radiance products. The data have already demonstrated their value for operational weather forecasting, hurricane forecasting, and investigations of the atmospheric boundary layer. The data have been used extensively to test ionospheric models and their use in operational space weather models is under development. COSMIC GPS RO data also have the potential to be of great benefit to climate studies due to their demonstrated high precision and global and diurnal sampling coverage.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Solar/Space Observation Satellites Short_Name: COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 Long_Name: Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: FORMSAT 3A Short_Name: FORMSAT 3B Short_Name: FORMSAT 3C Short_Name: FORMSAT 3D Short_Name: FORMSAT 3E Short_Name: FORMSAT 3F Short_Name: 2006-011A Short_Name: 2006-011B Short_Name: 2006-011C Short_Name: 2006-011D Short_Name: 2006-011E Short_Name: 2006-011F End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: RO Short_Name: TBB Short_Name: TIP End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 72 degrees Period: 95 m Perigee: 496 km Apogee: 540 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Inclined Non-Polar End_Group Online_Resource: http://www.cosmic.ucar.edu/ Online_Resource: http://cosmic-io.cosmic.ucar.edu/cdaac/ Online_Resource: http://www.nspo.org.tw/2008e/projects/project3/hot.shtml?right=no Sample_Image: http://www.cosmic.ucar.edu/images/rocksat.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2006-04-15 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Design_Life: 5 years Primary_Sponsor: USA/NSF/UCAR Primary_Sponsor: TAIWAN/NSPO Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA Primary_Sponsor: USA/DOD/USAF Primary_Sponsor: USA/NOAA Primary_Sponsor: USA/DOD/ONR End_GroupEnd_Group Gemini Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=GEMINI [443bd29e-d615-498d-8580-300249cb7695,826194] -

The primary goal of the MOP satellites were (1)to provide visible and IR day/night cloudcover data and radiances and(2) disseminate image data to users through the Data CollectionPlatform (DCP). MOP-2 (or Meteosat 5) is a 2.1 m diameter, 3.195 mhigh stepped cylindrical body with solar cells on six main bodypanels. The spacecraft is spin-stabilized at 100 rpm around the mainaxis aligned almost parallel to the Earth's axis with spin regulatedby two small hydrazine thrusters. Spin access control and east-weststationkeeping is provided by two pairs of large thrusters. Attitudeinformation is provided by Earth horizon and Sun-lit sensors. Aradiating dipole antenna directs S-band (333 kbs) transmission of DCPimage data to the Data Acquisition, Telemetry, and Tracking Station atOdenwald, Germany for relay to the Meteosat Ground Computer System andMeteosat Operations Control center at ESA's European Space OperationsCenter(ESOC). The MOP-2 carries a single imaging radiometerinvisible/infrared wavelengths in addition to the Data CollectionPlatform.To view a 3D orbit, observe the J Track satellite tracking web page:http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/RealTime/JTrack/For information on the European Space Agency (ESA) and the MeteosatProgram, see the URL: http://www.esrin.esa.itGroup: Platform_Details Entry_ID: METEOSAT-5 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: METEOSAT Short_Name: METEOSAT-5 Long_Name: Meteosat Operational Programme 2 (MOP-2) End_GroupEnd_Group Meteor Date=2021-12-02 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Meteor [d1a7ef15-31ab-4647-918a-4a1d62028ae4,826769] - Meteor-M N1 [34e29a6e-63ef-4701-9f03-4dd233f146f6,826122] Date=2015-05-08 User Id=saritz Entity=PrefLabel Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update PrefLabel Old Value=METEOR New Value=Meteor Date=2021-12-02 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Meteor [d1a7ef15-31ab-4647-918a-4a1d62028ae4,826769] - Meteor-M N2 [20e6f8e4-f60d-4ffb-ab85-0423c5078a52,826060] Date=2022-03-03 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: "Meteor" is the Soviet/Russian generic name for its Low-Earth-Orbiting (LEO) meteorological satellite family which started operation in 1969, designed and developed by VNIIEM (All-Russian Scientific and Research Institute of Electromechanics), Moscow.

Daily image coverage of Taiwan and the surrounding region is required.Background: A contract was signed in May 1999 between NSPO and DASA/DSS (Dornier Satelliten Systeme GmbH) of Germany to build a high-resolution optical imaging satellite. However, the German government refused to give DASA/DSS an export licence for the S/C (the People's Republic of China was protesting the deal). The stalemate was resolved in Dec. 1999 when NSPO signed a new contract with MMS (now Astrium SAS of France). Quick approval of the export of ROCSat-2 was provided by the French government. The ROCSat program is part of a long-term effort in Taiwan to develop an autonomous space capability.Note: A public naming competition took place in Taiwan in 2004 with regard to the ROCSat satellite program. At the end of this contest, the ROCSat program was given the new name of FormoSat in December 2004. Hence, ROCSat-2 became FormoSat-2. Spacecraft:The spacecraft bus has been built by EADS Astrium SAS (prime contractor) of Vélizy, France, based on the Leostar 500 XO family. There were also contributions from Taiwanese industry (including satellite computers, S-band antennas, and sun sensors). The S/C structure consists basically of a hexagonal body of 1.6 m side length (diameter), 2.4 m in height. The satellite is three-axis stabilized. The upper deck of the platform carries the payload (RSI and ISUAL) and also part of AOCS (Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem), namely the star sensors and gyroscopes. The lower deck carries the four reaction wheels and the autonomous propulsion module. The pointing accuracy is &lt; 0.7 km (0.12º); the position knowledge is &lt; 70 m (0.02º). The fixed solar array uses GaAs cells and consists of two deployable flaps. The entire S/C architecture is designed in such a way as to provide a low roll inertia, a key factor for satellite agility and instrument line-of-sight stability. The S/C provides a body-pointing capability of ±45º in roll and pitch (45º pitch in 60 s, 10º roll in 25 s, 30º roll in 60 s, respectively). The S/C wet mass is about 746 kg with 81 kg of propellant (N2H4) mass. The design life is five years or better.Launch: A launch of ROCSat-2 took place on May 20, 2004 (UTC) on a Taurus-XL vehicle of OSC (Orbital Sciences Corporation) from VAFB, CA (maiden flight of Taurus-XL configuration which offers greater lift capability compared to previous versions of the Taurus rocket).Orbit: Sun-synchronous circular orbit, mean altitude = 888 km, inclination = 99.14º, period of 102.9 minutes, the LTDN (Local Time of Descending Node) is 9:26 AM (14 orbits/day). The agility of the spacecraft provides a daily revisit capability for event/disaster monitoring.Note: Following the early-orbit checkout, the initial satellite orbit has been raised from 728 km to 888 km altitude in the period May 23 to June 2, 2004. A total of 32 burns were performed by the propulsion module with 4 burns for inclination change, to enter into the mission orbit with an altitude of 891 km and an inclination of 99.14º.Ground segment: The basic elements of the ROCSat-2 ground segment are the MMC (Multi Mission Center) and the XAS (X-band Acquisition System) located in Hsinchu, Taiwan. MMC in turn consists of MOC (Mission Operations Center), MCC (Mission Control Center), SCC (Science Control Center), FDF (Flight Dynamics Facility), and GCN (Ground Communications Network). ROCSat-2 X-band imagery reception is also made available to third parties (international partners) with their own ground stations through cooperative agreements.Mission status: The spacecraft and its payload are operating nominally as of 2007.Mission operations started in June 2004 (the checkout and performance verification for satellite bus and RSI were started on May 21 and completed through June 2004; all performance requirements of FormoSat-2 had been successfully verified in orbit). Besides providing imagery for the domestic needs of Taiwan, the S/C is frequently being used to deliver high-resolution imagery for event monitoring (coverage of the Tsunami in Asia on Dec. 26, 2004 and thereafter, coverage of Hurricane Katarina in Aug. 2005, coverage of Typhoons on the Pacific, coverage of earthquake regions, etc.). The spacecraft is operating nominally as of 2006. 7) 8) 9) 10)• NSPO has contracted to SPOT Image S.A. for the international distribution of FORMOSAT-2 images since June 2004• On 4 July 2004, ISUAL successfully observed the first images of sprites, sprite halo, and elves.• In April 2005, NSPO implemented a terminal in Kiruna, Sweden, to serve as an additional receiving station• In May 2006, NSPO implemented a F2T (FormoSat-2 Terminal) in Svalbard, Norway, to extend the data acquisition capability of the mission.SOH (State-of-Health) trending during two years of mission operations (May 2004-May 2006) on five major subsystems, including AOCS and EPS (Electric Propulsion Subsystem), and one major payload have been conducted. All parameters were well within specifications. The C&amp;DH and the TT&amp;C do not exhibit any SOH problems so far.RSI (Remote Sensing Instrument), built by EADS Astrium SAS, France. RSI is made up of the camera and IPU (Instrument Processing Unit). The camera itself consists of the optical subassembly, the secondary structure, and the FPA (Focal Plane Assembly). The Korsch telescope (mirrors &amp; structure) design and the focal plane structure are being made of SiC (Silicon Carbide). The video electronics, sequencer, DC/DC converter, and compression cards comprise the IPU.RSI utilizes the agility of the satellite bus for stereo imaging over a specific region, continuous imaging over a slender region, and mosaic imaging over a large region. The imaging capability is 8 minutes per orbit, and the imaging areas during one cycle can be one 3000 km x 24 km continuous strip, two 100 km x 24 km stereo pairs, four 100 km x 24 km strips, or eight scenes.ISUAL (Imager of Sprites: Upper Atmospheric Lightning). ISUAL is a joint international research program of NSPO, UCB (University of California at Berkeley), National Cheng Kung University of Taiwan, and Tohoku University, Japan. The objective is to observe the natural upward lightning discharge phenomena toward the ionosphere on top of the troposphere, referred to as TLEs (Transient Luminous Events). The requirements call for: 14)• To determine the location and timing of luminous phenomena above thunder clouds to investigate their spatial, temporal and spectral properties• To obtain a global survey of upper atmospheric optical flash transients (sprites, elves, blue jets, gigantic jets, etc.).The instrument consists of four elements: a) intensified sprite imager, b) a six-channel spectrophotometer, c) a two-channel array photometer, and d) an electronics package. The imager is a staring-type frame CCD camera, taking 180 frames/s with a resolution of 512 x 80 pixels in a FOV of 20º x 3.15º. In Figure 8, the large disk of the ISUAL instrument contains six color filters, which can be rotated to select wavelength for measuring the emission spectrum of red sprites. ISUAL is operated in three modes:• The sprite continuous mode to take images with a sample rate of 100 Hz• The sprite burst mode with a sample rate of 1000 Hz• The auroral mode at a constant rate of 1 sample/s.

Aspart of GARP, the satellite helped to supply data required for globaldata sets used in improvement of machine weather forecasts. Ingeneral, the spacecraft design, instrumentation, and operation weresimilar to SMS/GOES. The cylindrically shaped spacecraft measured 210cm in diameter and 430 cm in length, including the apogee boost motor.The primary structural members were an equipment platform and acentral tube. The radiometer telescope was mounted on the equipmentplatform and viewed the earth through a special aperture in the sideof the spacecraft. A support structure extended radially out from thecentral tube and was affixed to the solar panels, which formed theouter walls of the spacecraft and provided the primary source ofelectrical power. Located in the annulus-shaped space between thecentral tube and the solar panels were station-keeping and dynamicscontrol equipment and batteries. Proper spacecraft attitude and spinrate (approximately 100 rpm) were maintained by jet thrusters mountedon the spacecraft and activated by ground command. The spacecraft usedboth UHF-band and S-band frequencies in its telemetry and commandsubsystems. A low-power VHF transponder provided telemetry andcommand during launch and then served as a backup for the primarysubsystem once the spacecraft attained synchronous orbit.The spin-stabilized spacecraft carried (1) a visible-IR radiometer toprovide high-quality day/night cloudcover data and to take radiancetemperatures of the earth/atmosphere system, and (2) a meteorologicaldata collection system to disseminate image data to user stations, tocollect data from various earth-based platforms, and to relay datafrom polar-orbiting satellites.

Each Voyager had as its major objectives at each planet to: (1) investigate the circulation, dynamics, structure, and composition of the planet's atmosphere; (2) characterize the morphology, geology, and physical state of the satellites of the planet; (3) provide improved values for the mass, size, and shape of the planet, its satellites, and any rings; and, (4) determine the magnetic field structure and characterize the composition and distribution of energetic trapped particles and plasma therein.Originally planned as a Grand Tour of the outer planets, including dual launches to Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in 1976-77 and dual launches to Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune in 1979, budgetary constraints caused a dramatic rescoping of the project to two spacecraft, each of which would go to only Jupiter and Saturn. The new mission was called Mariner Jupiter/Saturn, or MJS. It was subsequently renamed Voyager about six months prior to launch. The rescoped mission was estimated to cost $250 million (through the end of Saturn operations), only a third of what the Grand Tour design would have cost.Originally scheduled to launch twelve days after Voyager 2, Voyager 1's launch was delayed twice to prevent the occurrence of problems which Voyager 2 experienced after launch. Voyager 1's launch finally happened on 05 Sept. 1977 and was termed 'flawless and accurate'.Although launched sixteen days after Voyager 2, Voyager 1's trajectory was the quicker one to Jupiter. On 15 Dec. 1977, while both spacecraft were in the asteroid belt, Voyager 1 surpassed Voyager 2's distance from the Sun. Voyager 1 then proceeded to Jupiter (making its closest approach on 05 March 1979) and Saturn (with closest approach on 12 Nov. 1980). Both prior to and after planetary encounters observations were made of the interplanetary medium. Some 18,000 images of Jupiter and its satellites were taken by Voyager 1. In addition, roughly 16,000 images of Saturn, its rings and satellites were obtained.After its encounter with Saturn, Voyager 1 remained relatively quiescent, continuing to make in situ observations of the interplanetary environment and UV observations of stars. After nearly nine years of dormancy, Voyager 1's cameras were once again turned on to take a series of pictures. On 14 Feb. 1990, Voyager 1 looked back from whence it came and took the first 'family portrait' of the solar system, a mosaic of 60 frames of the Sun and six of the planets (Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) as seen from 'outside' the solar system. After this final look back, the cameras on Voyager 1 were once again turned off.

The Venera 13 mission consisted of a bus (81-106A)and an attached descent craft (81-106D). The Venera 13 descentcraft/lander was a hermetically sealed pressure vessel, whichcontained most of the instrumentation and electronics, mountedon a ring-shaped landing platform and topped by an antenna. Thedesign was similar to the earlier Venera 9-12 landers. Itcarried instruments to take chemical and isotopic measurements,monitor the spectrum of scattered sunlight, and record electricdischarges during its descent phase through the Venusianatmosphere. The spacecraft utilized a camera system, an X-rayfluorescence spectrometer, a screw drill and surface sampler, adynamic penetrometer, and a seismometer to conductinvestigations on the surface. After launch and a four monthcruise to Venus, the descent vehicle separated from the bus andplunged into the Venus atmosphere on 1 March 1982. Afterentering the atmosphere a parachute was deployed. At an altitudeof 47 km the parachute was released and simple airbraking wasused the rest of the way to the surface. Venera 13 landed about950 km northeast of Venera 14 at 7 deg 30 min S, 303 E, justeast of the eastern extension of an elevated region known asPhoebe Regio. The area was composed of bedrock outcropssurrounded by dark, fine-grained soil. After landing an imagingpanorama was started and a mechanical drilling arm reached tothe surface and obtained a sample, which was deposited in ahermetically sealed chamber, maintained at 30 degrees C and apressure of about .05 atmospheres. The composition of the sampledetermined by the X-ray flourescence spectrometer put it in theclass of weakly differentiated melanocratic alkalinegabbroids. The lander survived for 127 ! minutes (the planneddesign life was 32 minutes) in an environment with a temperatureof 457 degrees C and a pressure of 84 Earth atmospheres. Thedescent vehicle transmitted data to the bus, which acted as adata relay as it flew by Venus.More info athttp://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/imgcat/html/mission_page/VN_Venera_13_Lander_page1.html[Source: NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: VENERA-13 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Interplanetary Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: LANDER Short_Name: VENERA-13 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: VENERA 13 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: FLUORESCENCE SPECTROSCOPY End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-12-13 Online_Resource: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/missions/venera1314.html Sample_Image: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/imgcat/midres/v13_vg261_262.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1981-10-30 Launch_Site: Baikonur Cosmodrome, Tyuratam, Russia Primary_Sponsor: Russia End_GroupEnd_Group MARINER 2 The Mariner 2 spacecraft was the second of a series of spacecraft used for planetary exploration in the flyby, or nonlanding, mode and the first spacecraft to successfully encounter another planet.

Spacecraft and Subsystems Mariner 2 consisted of a hexagonal base, 1.04 meters across and 0.36 meters thick, which contained six magnesium chassis housing the electronics for the science experiments, communications, data encoding, computing, timing, and attitude control, and the power control, battery, and battery charger, as well as the attitude control gas bottles and the rocket engine. On top of the base was a tall pyramid-shaped mast on which the science experiments were mounted which brought the total height of the spacecraft to 3.66 meters. Attached to either side of the base were rectangular solar panel wings with a total span of 5.05 meters and width of 0.76 meters. Attached by an arm to one side of the base and extending below the spacecraft was a large directional dish antenna. The Mariner 2 power system consisted of the two solar cell wings, one 183 cm by 76 cm and the other 152 cm by 76 cm (with a 31 cm dacron extension (a solar sail) to balance the solar pressure on the panels) which powered the craft directly or recharged a 1000 Watt-hour sealed silver-zinc cell battery, which was used before the panels were deployed, when the panels were not illuminated by the Sun, and when loads were heavy. A power-switching and booster regulator device controlled the power flow. Communications consisted of a 3 Watt transmitter capable of continuous telemetry operation, the large high gain directional dish antenna, a cylindrical omnidirectional antenna at the top of the instrument mast, and two command antennas, one on the end of either solar panel, which received instructions for midcourse maneuvers and other functions. Propulsion for midcourse maneuvers was supplied by a monopropellant (anhydrous hydrazine) 225 N retro-rocket. The hydrazine was ignited using nitrogen tetroxide and aluminum oxide pellets, and thrust direction was controlled by four jet vanes situated below the thrust chamber. Attitude control with a 1 degree pointing error was maintained by a system of nitrogen gas jets. The Sun and Earth were used as references for attitude stabilization. Overall timing and control was performed by a digital Central Computer and Sequencer. Thermal control was achieved through the use of passive reflecting and absorbing surfaces, thermal shields, and movable louvers. The scientific experiments were mounted on the instrument mast and base. A magnetometer was attached to the top of the mast below the omnidirectional antenna. Particle detectors were mounted halfway up the mast, along with the cosmic ray detector. A cosmic dust detector and solar plasma spectrometer detector were attached to the top edges of the spacecraft base. A microwave radiometer and an infrared radiometer and the radiometer reference horns were rigidly mounted to a 48 cm diameter parabolic radiometer antenna mounted near the bottom of the mast. All instruments were operated throughout the cruise and encounter modes except the radiometers, which were only used in the immediate vicinity of Venus.

Operational satellites were renamed NOAA.The primary objective of ITOS was to provide improvedoperational infrared and visual observations of earth cloudcover for use in weather analysis and forecasting. Secondaryobjectives included providing both solar proton and global heatbalance data on a regular daily basis. To accomplish thesetasks, the spacecraft carried:-two television cameras for Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) and-two Advanced Vidicon Camera System (AVCS) cameras. It also carried-a low-resolution Flat Plate Radiometer (FPR),-a Solar Proton Monitor (SPM), and-two scanning radiometers that not only measured emitted infraredradiation, but also served as a backup system for the APT and AVCScameras.The nearly cubical spacecraft measured 1 by 1 by 1.2 m. The TVcameras and infrared sensors were mounted on the satellitebaseplate with their optical axes directed verticiallyearthward. The satellite was equipped with three curved solarpanels that were folded during launch and deployed after orbitwas achieved. Each panel measured over 4.2 m in length whenunfolded and was covered with 3420 solar cells, each measuring 2by 2 cm. The ITOS dynamics and attitude control systemmaintained desired spacecraft orientation through gyroscopicprinciples incorporated into the satellite design. Earthorientation of the satellite body was maintained by takingadvantage of the precession induced from a momentum flywheel sothat the satellite body precession rate of one revolution perorbit provided the desired 'earth looking' attitude. Minoradjustments in attitude and orientation were made by means ofmagnetic coils and by varying the speed of the momentumflywheel.Additional information available at'http://www.skyrocket.de/space/doc_sdat/noaa_itos-a.htm'Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: TIROS-M Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: TIROS Short_Name: TIROS-M Long_Name: Television Infrared Observation Satellite-M End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: ITOS End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: HRIR End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-14 Online_Resource: http://www.skyrocket.de/space/doc_sdat/noaa_itos-a.htm Sample_Image: http://www.photolib.noaa.gov/700s/spac0170.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1970-01-23 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2021-11-16 Living Organism-based Platforms Date=2021-11-16 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=Living Organism-based Platforms [2385b75c-6ff2-41f8-9cd8-9b5225e4a862,835873] - Platforms [f3261de5-34c1-4980-af22-f9d7e7206d12,826902] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Living Organism-based Platforms [2385b75c-6ff2-41f8-9cd8-9b5225e4a862,835873] - Living Organism [6438d343-2e1f-4a89-97a9-b032e651163f,835889] Date=2022-02-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: A 'living platform" such as a bird, whale, turtle, fish, caribou, wolf, or other animal where they are used to hold GPS units to track movement or migration.

Through UK-DMC, BNSC became the anchor tenant for the SSTL-led Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC), accelerating the formation of a full international consortium.UK-DMC is a satellite of the standard Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) design, with added research and development payloads. Like all of the standard DMC satellites, it carries an optical imaging payload developed by SSTL to provide 32-m ground resolution with an exceptionally wide swath width of over 640 km. The payload uses green, red and near infrared bands equivalent to Landsat TM+ bands 2, 3 and 4. In comparison to the other DMC satellites, UK-DMC features increased on-board data storage, with 1.5 gigabyte capacity. Images are returned to the SSTL mission operations centre using the Internet Protocol over an 8-Mbps S-band downlink.UK-DMC also contains a commercial Internet router from Cisco Systems, which builds on the use of the Internet Protocol by the DMC satellites to experiment with Internet packet routing to and in space.UK-DMC has also provided an opportunity for SSTL to test a new concept in remote sensing, GPS reflectometry. This technique, which measures the signals from the GPS navigation system after they are reflected off the sea, could revolutionize oceanographic remote sensing. If UK-DMC validates theories of GPS reflectometry, the technique could one day enable satellites to measure the height of waves on the high seas, providing important data to ship owners and operators. SSTL is using imagery from the UK-DMC to investigate the full range of uses for large-coverage images with medium spatial resolution and high temporal resolution. The UK-DMC satellite will also operate as part of a constellation providing images to disaster relief agencies worldwide in times of need.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: UK-DMC Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: UK-DMC End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: BNSCSAT End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: GPS Short_Name: SLIM-6 End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 686 Km Orbit_Inclination: 98.0 degrees Period: 98.4 min Perigee: 675 Apogee: 692 Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-06-04 Online_Resource: https://earth.esa.int/web/guest/missions/3rd-party-missions/current-missions/uk-dmc Online_Resource: https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/u/uk-dmc-2 Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2003-09-27 Launch_Site: Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia Primary_Sponsor: British National Space Centre (BNSC) Primary_Sponsor: Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.

Images from the satellite are provided free of charge to relief agencies responding to disasters anywhere in world.TopSat was designed and built by a consortium of British companies led by QinetiQ, whose role included systems design and technical authority, provision of payload electronics units, project and operations management and data reception. Other consortium members are Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL), Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) designed and Infoterra.The satellite is designed to return its data directly to a mobile ground station immediately after collecting an image, allowing far more timely delivery of the information which it collects than standard satellites. The system is specifically designed to meet operational timescales, whether for disaster relief, news-gathering, or other applications where speed of response is vital.TopSat received the Aviation and Space Grand Award – the top award for aerospace technology, from Popular Science, the best selling science and technology magazine in the world. The magazine’s editors concluded that TopSat is an innovation that has the potential to change satellite and space reconnaissance technology.TopSat weighs just 120 kg, but carries an optical camera capable of delivering panchromatic images with a spatial resolution at nadir of 2.8 metres covering a 17x17 km area, and simultaneous three-band multi-spectral images, (red, green, blue), with a resolution of 5.6 metres. This is thought to represent the best resolution per mass of any satellite launched to date. This camera is integrated with an agile micro-satellite platform to permit pitch compensation manoeuvres, allowing imaging of low illumination scenes.TopSat has been in operation since its launch from Plesetsk in Russia on 27th October 2005. The satellite can be reprogrammed in orbit, and the consortium is exploiting this to enhance its performance. In addition to actively pursuing experiments for the MOD and BNSC, the consortium is also seeking new applications to which the technology can be applied. In the future, a constellation of three or four TopSat satellites could image almost any point on the Earth at least once a day, further opening up the potential for quick response imagery which is extremely cost effective to deliver.[Information from QinetiQ Ltd.]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: TOPSAT Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: TOPSAT End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: CAMERAS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 98.1 Period: 98.6 Repeat_Cycle: 4 Perigee: 688.4 Apogee: 714 Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-06-18 Online_Resource: http://www.qinetiq.com/home/defence/defence_solutions/space/topsat.html Online_Resource: http://earth.esa.int/object/index.cfm?fobjectid=5135 Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2005-10-27 Launch_Site: Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia Primary_Sponsor: QinetiQ Ltd.

The objective of the HCMM was toprovide comprehensive, accurate, high-spatial-resolution thermal surveys of thesurface of the earth. The HCMM spacecraft was made of two distinct modules:(1) an instrument module, containing the heat capacity mapping radiometer andits supporting gear, and (2) a base module, containing the data handling,power, communications, command, and attitude control subsystems required tosupport the instrument module. The spacecraft was spin stabilized at a rate of14 rpm.The HCMM circular sun-synchronous orbit allowed the spacecraft to sense surfacetemperatures near the maximum and minimum of the diurnal cycle. The orbit hada daylight ascending node with nominal equatorial crossing time of 2:00 p.m.Since there was no inclination adjustment capacity, the spacecraft drifted fromthis crossing time by about 1 hour earlier per year. There was no on-boarddata storage capability, so only real-time data were transmitted when thesatellite came within reception range of seven ground stations. The repeatcycle of the spacecraft was 16 days. Day/night coverage over a given areabetween the latitudes of 85 deg N and 85 deg S occurred at intervals rangingfrom 12 to 36 h (once every 16 days).During February 21-23, 1980, the HCMM orbital altitude was lowered from 620 kmto 540 km to stop the drift of the orbit plane to unfavorable sun angles whichin turn reduced the power collection capability of the solar panels. Theoperations of the spacecraft were terminated on September 30, 1980.

Each Voyager had as its major objectives at each planet to: (1) investigate the circulation, dynamics, structure, and composition of the planet's atmosphere; (2) characterize the morphology, geology, and physical state of the satellites of the planet; (3) provide improved values for the mass, size, and shape of the planet, its satellites, and any rings; and, (4) determine the magnetic field structure and characterize the composition and distribution of energetic trapped particles and plasma therein.Originally planned as a Grand Tour of the outer planets, including dual launches to Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in 1976-77 and dual launches to Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune in 1979, budgetary constraints caused a dramatic rescoping of the project to two spacecraft, each of which would go to only Jupiter and Saturn. The new mission was called Mariner Jupiter/Saturn, or MJS. It was subsequently renamed Voyager about six months prior to launch. The rescoped mission was estimated to cost $250 million (through the end of Saturn operations), only a third of what the Grand Tour design would have cost.Voyager 2 was the first of the two spacecraft to be launched, with liftoff occurring 20 Aug. 1977. What was at first an auspicious launch, however, proved to be the beginning of a number of problems. The primary cause of the initial problems were attributed to commanding by the AACS, including difficulty in determining the full deployment of the science boom. These problems resulted in a delay of four days in the launch of Voyager 1 to ensure they wouldn't occur for it.Although launched sixteen days after Voyager 2, Voyager 1's trajectory was the quicker one to Jupiter. On 15 Dec. 1977, while both spacecraft were in the asteroid belt, Voyager 1 surpassed Voyager 2's distance from the Sun.Several months after launch, in April 1978, Voyager 2's primary radio receiver failed, automatically kicking in the backup receiver which proved to be faulty. Attempts to recover the use of the primary receiver failed and the backup receiver was used for the remainder of the mission. Although use of the backup receiver made communication with the spacecraft more difficult, engineers were able to find workarounds.Voyager 2 proceeded with its primary mission and flew by Jupiter (closest approach on 09 July 1979) and Saturn (05 Aug. 1981). During these flybys, Voyager 2 obtained images roughly equal in number to Voyager 1 (18,000 at Jupiter, 16,000 at Saturn).Voyager 2's launch date had preserved one part of the original Grand Tour design, i.e. the possibility of an extended mission to Uranus and Neptune. Despite the difficulties encountered, scientists and engineers had been able to make Voyager enormously successful. As a result, approval was granted to extend the mission, first to Uranus, then to Neptune and later to continue observations well past Neptune. Voyager 2 made successful flybys of Uranus (24 Jan. 1986) and Neptune (25 Aug. 1989). Because of the additional distance of these two planets, adaptations had to made to accomodate the lower light levels and decreased communications. Voyager 2 was successfully able to obtain about 8,000 images of Uranus and its satellites. Additional improvements in the on-board software and use of image compression techniques allowed about 10,000 images of Neptune and its satellites to be taken.All of the experiments on Voyager 2 have produced useful data.

This program, previously known as DAPP (Data Acquisition and Processing Program), was classified until March 1973. The objective of this program is to provide global visual and infrared cloudcover data and specialized environmental data to support Department of Defense operational weather analysis and forecasting requirements. Operationally, the program consists of two satellites in sun-synchronous polar orbits, with the ascending node of one satellite in early morning and the other at local noon. The 6.4-m-long spacecraft is separated into four sections: (1) a precision mounting platform for sensors and equipment requiring precise alignment; (2) an equipment support module containing the electronics, reaction wheels, and some meteorological sensors; (3) a reaction control equipment support structure containing the third-stage rocket motor and supporting the ascent phase reaction control equipment; and (4) a 9.29-sq-m solar cell panel. The spacecraft stabilization is controlled by a combination flywheel and magnetic control coil system so that sensors are maintained in the desired earth-looking mode. One feature is the precision-pointing accuracy of the primary imager to 0.01 deg provided by a star sensor and an updated ephemeris navigation system. This allows automatic geographical mapping of the digital imagery to the nearest picture element. The operational linescan system is the primary data acquisition system that provides real-time or stored, multi-orbit, day-and-night, visual and infrared imagery of clouds. A supplementary sensor package contains five special sensors: (1) a microwave temperature sounder, (2) an advanced X-ray detector, (3) an ionospheric/scintillation monitor, (4) a precipitating electron/ion spectrometer, and (5) a microwave imager.

The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) is a Department of Defense (DoD) program run by the Air Force Space and Missle Systems Center (SMC). The program designs, builds, launches, and maintains satellites monitoring the meteorological, oceanographic, and solar-terrestrial physics environments. Each DMSP satellite has a 101 minute, sun-synchronous near-polar orbit at an altitude of 830km above the surface of the earth. The visible and infrared sensors (OLS) collect images across a 3000 km swath, providing global coverage twice per day. The combination of day/night and dawn/dusk satellites allows monitoring of global information such as clouds every 6 hours. The microwave imager (SSMI) and sounders (SSMT1, SSMT2) cover one half the width of the visible and infrared swath. These instruments cover polar regions at least twice and the equatorial region once per day. The space environment sensors (SSJ, SSM, SSIES) record along-track plasma densities, velocities, composition and drifts (SS stands for Special Sensor).DMSP F16 carries two new experiments: the limb scanning ultraviolet imager/spectrometer SSULI built by the Naval Research Laboratory and the nadir scanning ultaviolet imager/spectrometer and photometer SSUSI built by the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University. It also carried new versions of the Special Sensor for Ions, Electrons and Scintillations (SSIES-13) and of the precipitating ion and electron monitor (SSJ-5)The data from the DMSP satellites are received and used at operational centers continuously. The data are sent to the National Geophysical Data Center's Solar Terrestrial Physics Division (NGDC/STP) by the Air Force Weather Agency (AFWA) for creation of an archive.

The objective of this program,also called the TIROS Operational System (TOS), was to acquire globalobservational data routinely on a daily basis. This system consisted ofa pair of ESSA satellites in sun-synchronous (polar) orbit. The oddnumbered satellites (ESSA-1, 3, 5, 7, and 9) utilized the AdvancedVidicon Camera System (AVCS) to obtain global imagery which weretransmitted to the ESSA Command and Data Acquition (CDA) stations atWallops, Virginia, and Fairbanks, Alaska. The CDA stations relayed thedata to the National Environmental Satellite Service (NESS), which laterbecame the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and InformationService (NESDIS), located in Suitland, Maryland, for processing anddistribution to forecasting centers of the U.S. and other nations. Theeven numbered satellites (ESSA-2, 4, 6, and 8) were equipped withAutomatic Picture Transmission (APT) TV cameras which transmittedtelevision pictures directly to ground stations worldwide.-----------------Entry taken from:Rao, P.K., S.J.

The primary goal of the MOP satellites were(1) to provide visible and IR day/night cloudcover data and radiancesand (2) disseminate image data to users through the Data CollectionPlatform (DCP). MOP-3 (or Meteosat 6) is a 2.1 m diameter, 3.195 mhigh stepped cylindrical body with solar cells on six main bodypanels. The spacecraft is spin-stabilized at 100 rpm around the mainaxis aligned almost parallel to the Earth's axis with spin regulatedby two small hydrazine thrusters. Spin access control and east-weststationkeeping is provided by two pairs of large thrusters. Attitudeinformation is provided by Earth horizon and Sun-lit sensors. Aradiating diplole antenna directs S-band (333 kbs) transmission of DCPimage data to the Data Acquisition, Telemetry, and Tracking Station atOdenwald, Germany for relay to the Meteosat Ground Computer System andMeteosat Operations Control center at ESA's European Space OperationsCenter (ESOC). The MOP-3 carries a single imaging radiometer invisible/infrared wavelengths in addition to the Data CollectionPlatform.To view a 3D orbit, observe the J Track satellite tracking web page:http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/RealTime/JTrack/For more information on the European Space Agency (ESA) and theMeteosat Program, see the URL: http://www.esrin.esa.itGroup: Platform_Details Entry_ID: METEOSAT-6 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: METEOSAT Short_Name: METEOSAT-6 Long_Name: Meteosat Operational Programme 3 (MOP-3) End_GroupEnd_Group GMS-1 The Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (GMS-1) was Japan's contribution to the international GARP (Global Atmospheric Research Program). One major objective of GARP was to obtain synoptic global meteorological data sets for one year's duration (to include two optimized observing periods of a few weeks each). These data served as raw material to optimize computer models for meteorological prediction. It was hoped that determination could be made of the time limitation for short-term modeling. The GMS series has been used for the World Meteorological Organization's World Weather Watch. The satellite was spin-stabilized with a despun earth-pointing antenna. The GMS series carried the Visible and Spin Scan Radiometer (VISSR). Launched by a US Delta rocket in July 1977, the satellite was positioned near 140 deg E. Designed to operate for 5 years, the satellite was turned off in 1981 after 4 1/2 years in orbit.__________Taken from the NSSDC System for Information Retrieval and Storage (SIRS).

This, coupled with their polar and “sun-synchronous” orbits, allows each DMSP weather satellite to monitor nearly the entire globe every six hours.The data collected by the satellites is transmitted to the ground where a team of meteorologists interpret the data and disseminate the information for the U.S. military, which in turn uses the data to plan and conduct U.S. military operations around the globe.In addition to DMSP F18, two more DMSP weather satellites are awaiting launch. These satellites are currently stored at Space Systems’ operations in Sunnyvale, California. They will be transported to Vandenberg upon the request of the Air Force for launch operations.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: DMSP 5D-3/F18 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: DMSP (Defense Meteorological Satellite Program) Short_Name: DMSP 5D-3/F18 Long_Name: Defense Meteorological Satellite Program-F18 End_Group Creation_Date: 2009-10-21 Online_Resource: http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2009/10/live-atlas-600th-mission-launch-dmsp-f18-vandenberg/ Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2009-10-18 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Primary_Sponsor: Department of Defense-Department of the Air Force (United States) End_GroupEnd_Group DMSP 5D-2/F8 Date=2016-06-09 User Id=epneff Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT User Note=added altLabel System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null text: DMSP-F08 language code: en [Source: National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftDisplay.do?id=1987-053A ]DMSP 5D-2/F8 is one of a series of meteorological satellites developed and operated by the Air Force under the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). Its pre-launch designation was DMSP 5D-2/S9. This program, previously known as DAPP (Data Acquisition and Processing Program), was classified until March 1973. The objective of this program is to provide global visual and infrared cloudcover data and specialized environmental data to support Department of Defense operational weather analysis and forecasting requirements. Operationally, the program consists of two satellites in sun-synchronous polar orbits, with the ascending node of one satellite in early morning and the other at local noon. The 6.4-m-long spacecraft is separated into four sections: (1) a precision mounting platform for sensors and equipment requiring precise alignment; (2) an equipment support module containing the electronics, reaction wheels, and some meteorological sensors; (3) a reaction control equipment support structure containing the third-stage rocket motor and supporting the ascent phase reaction control equipment; and (4) a 9.29-sq-m solar cell panel. The spacecraft stabilization is controlled by a combination flywheel and magnetic control coil system so sensors are maintained in the desired earth-looking mode. One feature is the precision-pointing accuracy of the primary imager to 0.01 deg provided by a star sensor and an updated ephemeris navigation system. This allows automatic geographical mapping of the digital imagery to the nearest picture element. The operational linescan system is the primary data acquisition system that provides real-time or stored, multi-orbit, day-and-night, visual and infrared imagery of clouds. A supplementary sensor package contains five special sensors: (1) a microwave temperature sounder, (2) an advanced X-ray detector, (3) an ionospheric/scintillation monitor, (4) a precipitating electron/ion spectrometer, and (5) a microwave imager. An infrared temperature and moisture sounder and a magnetometer may also be included on this spacecraft. Either recorded or real-time data are transmitted to ground-receiving sites by two redundant S-band transmitters. Recorded data are read out to tracking sites located at Fairchild AFB, Wash., and at Loring AFB, Maine, and relayed by SATCOM to Air Force Global Weather Central, Offutt AFB, Nebraska. Real-time data are read out at mobile tactical sites located around the world. Additional information concerning this satellite program can be found in the report by D. A.

Twenty-five years after the rollout of the first meteorological satellite in 1977, some six other Meteosats later, MSG is now a completely new series of geostationary meteorological satellites with three pieces already being produced and others that may follow within the next decade.MSG is a joint project between ESA and Eumetsat, the organization set up in 1986 to establish, maintain and operate a European system of meteorological satellites. Three satellites are planned at present and a ground segment. ESA is responsible for designing and developing the first satellite - now already in orbit - and for procuring the other three on behalf of Eumetsat. Eumetsat is responsible for defining the payload based on user needs, procuring the ground segment and launchers, and operating the system.With the launch of MSG-2, at any one time, two MSG satellites will be functional in geostationary orbit, the operational one being at 0 degrees longitude which is above equatorial west Africa, the other being on stand-by with 10 degrees of separation.The first satellite, MSG-1 has been launched on board an Ariane 5 launcher inAugust 2002. MSG-2 will follow later. MSG-3 will be built and put in storageuntil it is required to take over as the operational MSG nears the end of itslife. Each satellite will have a nominal seven-year lifetime.

HST is an observatory first dream of in the 1940s, designed and built in the 1970s and 80s, and operational only in the 1990s. Since its preliminary inception, HST was designed to be a different type of mission for NASA -- a long-term space-based observatory. To accomplish this goal and protect the spacecraft against instrument and equipment failures, NASA had always planned on regular servicing missions. Hubble has special grapple fixtures, 76 handholds, and stabilized in all three axes. HST is a 2.4-meter reflecting telescope, which was deployed, in low-Earth orbit (600 kilometers) by the crew of the space shuttle Discovery (STS-31) on 25 April 1990.

Aspart of GARP, the satellite helped to supply data required for globaldata sets used in improvement of machine weather forecasts. Ingeneral, the spacecraft design, instrumentation, and operation weresimilar to SMS/GOES. The cylindrically shaped spacecraft measured 210cm in diameter and 430 cm in length, including the apogee boost motor.The primary structural members were an equipment platform and acentral tube. The radiometer telescope was mounted on the equipmentplatform and viewed the earth through a special aperture in the sideof the spacecraft. A support structure extended radially out from thecentral tube and was affixed to the solar panels, which formed theouter walls of the spacecraft and provided the primary source ofelectrical power. Located in the annulus-shaped space between thecentral tube and the solar panels were station-keeping and dynamicscontrol equipment and batteries. Proper spacecraftattitude and spinrate (approximately 100 rpm) were maintained by jet thrusters mountedon the spacecraft and activated by ground command. The spacecraft usedboth UHF-band and S-band frequencies in its telemetry and commandsubsystems. A low-power VHF transponder provided telemetry andcommand during launch and then served as a backup for the primarysubsystem once the spacecraft attained synchronous orbit.The spin-stabilized spacecraft carried (1) a visible-IR radiometer toprovide high-quality day/night cloudcover data and to take radiancetemperatures of the earth/atmosphere system, and (2) a meteorologicaldata collection system to disseminate image data to user stations, tocollect data from various earth-based platforms, and to relay datafrom polar-orbiting satellites. Meteosat-1 was originally placed in ageosynchronous orbit near the prime meridian and was positioned laterbetween 9 and 11 degrees East.For information on the European Space Agency (ESA) and the MeteosatProgram, see the URL: 'http://www.esrin.esa.it'----------------Entry taken from:Taken from the NSSDC System for Information Retrieval and Storage (SIRS).

After safe passage through the Asteroidbelt on 19 April 1974, the Pioneer 11 thrusters were fired to add another 63.7m/sec (210 ft/sec) to the spacecraft's velocity. This adjusted the aiming pointat Jupiter to 43,000 km (26,725 miles) above the cloudtops. The close approachalso allowed the spacecraft to be accelerated by Jupiter to a velocity 55 timesthat of the muzzle velocity of a high speed rifle bullet - 173,000 km/hr(108,000 mph) - so that it would be carried across the Solar System some 2.4billion kilometers (1.5 billion miles) to Saturn.During its flyby of Jupiter on 2 December 1974, Pioneer 11 obtained dramaticimages of the Great Red Spot, made the first observation of the immense polarregions, and determined the mass of Jupiter's moon, Callisto.Looping high above the ecliptic plane and across the Solar System, Pioneer 11raced toward its appointment with Saturn on 1 September 1979. Pioneer 11 flewto within 13,000 miles of Saturn and took the first close-up pictures of theplanet. Instruments located two previously undiscovered small moons and anadditional ring, charted Saturn's magnetosphere and magnetic field and foundits planet-size moon, Titan, to be too cold for life. Hurtling underneath thering plane, Pioneer 11 sent back amazing pictures of Saturn's rings. The rings,which normally seem bright when observed from Earth, appeared dark in thePioneer pictures, and the dark gaps in the rings seen from Earth appeared asbright rings.Following its encounter with Saturn, Pioneer 11 explored the outer regions ofour Solar system, studying energetic particles from our Sun (Solar Wind) andcosmic rays entering our portion of the Milky Way. In September 1995, Pioneer11 was at a distance of 6.5 billion km (4 billion miles) from Earth. At thatdistance, it takes over 6 hours for the radio signal (which is traveling at thespeed of light) to reach Earth. However, by September 1995, Pioneer 11 could nolonger make any scientific observations. On 30 September 1995, routine dailymission operations were stopped. Intermittent contact continued until November1995, at which time the last communication with Pioneer 11 took place. Therehave been no communications with Pioneer 11 since. The Earth's motion hascarried it out of the view of the spacecraft antenna. The spacecraft cannot bemaneuvered to point back at the Earth. It is not known whether the spacecraftis still transmitting a signal. No further tracks of Pioneer 11 are scheduled.

The launch marked the first use of the Atlas-Centaur as athree-stage launch vehicle. The third stage was required to rocket Pioneer 10to the speed of 51,810 kilometers per hour (32,400 mph) needed for the flightto Jupiter. This made Pioneer the fastest manmade object to leave the Earth,fast enough to pass the Moon in 11 hours and to cross the Mars orbit, about 80million kilometers (50 million miles) away, in just 12 weeks.On 15 July 1972 Pioneer 10 entered the Asteroid Belt, a doughnut shaped areawhich measures some 280 million kilometers wide and 80 million kilometersthick. The material in the belts travels at speed about 20 km/sec. and rangesin size from dust particles to rock chunks as big as Alaska.After safely traversing the Asteroid Belt, Pioneer 10 headed toward Jupiter.Accelerated by the massive giant to a speed of 132,000 km/hr (82,000 mph),Pioneer 10 passed by Jupiter within 130,354 km (81,000 miles) of the cloudtopson December 3, 1973. During the passage by Jupiter, Pioneer 10 obtained thefirst close-up images of the planet, charted Jupiter's intense radiation belts,located the planet's magnetic field, and discovered that Jupiter ispredominantly a liquid planet.Following its encounter with Jupiter, Pioneer 10 explored the outer regions ofthe Solar system, studying energetic particles from the Sun (Solar Wind), andcosmic rays entering our portion of the Milky Way. The spacecraft continued tomake valuable scientific investigations in the outer regions of the solarsystem until its science mission ended on March 31, 1997. Since that time,Pioneer 10's weak signal has been tracked by the DSN as part of an advancedconcept study of communication technology in support of NASA's futureinterstellar probe mission. The spacecraft had also been used to help trainflight controllers how to acquire radio signals from space during the LunarProspector mission. The power source on Pioneer 10 finally degraded to thepoint where the signal to Earth dropped below the threshold for detection inits latest contact attempt on 7 February, 2003. The previous three contacts hadvery faint signals with no telemetry received. The last time a Pioneer 10contact returned telemetry data was on 27 April 2002.

Operationally, the program consisted of two satellites in planned 830-km, sun-synchronous polar orbits, with the ascending node of one satellite in early morning and the other one at local noon. The 6.4-m-long spacecraft was divided into four sections: (1) a precision mounting platform for sensors and equipment requiring precise alignment; (2) an equipment support module containing the electronics, reaction wheels, and some meteorological sensors; (3) a reaction control equipment support structure containing the third-stage rocket motor and supporting the ascent phase reaction control equipment; and (4) a 9.29-sq-m solar cell panel. The spacecraft stabilization was controlled by a combination flywheel and magnetic control coil system so sensors were maintained in the desired 'earth-looking' mode. One feature was the precision-pointing accuracy of the primary imager to 0.01 deg provided by a star sensor and an updated ephemeris navigation system. This allowed automatic geographical mapping of the digital imagery to the nearest picture element. The operational linescan system was the primary data acquisition system that provided real-time or stored, multi-orbit, day-and-night, visual and infrared imagery of the clouds. A supplementary sensor package contained six special sensors: (1) a microwave temperature sounder, (2) an X-ray spectrometer, (3) an ionospheric plasma monitor, (4) a precipitating electron/ion spectrometer, (5) a magnetometer, and (6) a space radiation dosimeter. Either recorded or real-time data were transmitted to ground-receiving sites by two redundant S-band transmitters. Recorded data were read out to tracking sites located at Fairchild AFB, Washington, and at Loring AFB, Maine, and relayed by SATCOM to Air Force Global Weather Central, Offutt AFB, Nebraska. Real-time data were read out at mobile tactical sites located around the world. A more complete description of the satellite can be found in the report by D. A.

This program, previously known as DAPP (Data Acquisition and Processing Program), was classified until March 1973. The objectives of this program were to provide global visual and infrared cloud cover data and specialized environmental data to support Department of Defense requirements. Operationally, the program consisted of two satellites in planned 830-km sun-synchronous polar orbits, with the ascending node of one satellite in early morning and the other at local noon. The 5.4-m long spacecraft was separated into four sections: (1) a precision mounting platform (PMP) for sensors and equipment requiring precise alignment, (2) an equipment support module (ESM) containing the electronics, reaction wheels, and some meteorological sensors, (3) a reaction control equipment (RCE) support structure (that has the third-stage motor, hydrazine reaction control system) which supports (4) a 9.29 sq mm solar cell panel. The spacecraft stabilization was controlled by a combination flywheel and magnetic control coil system so sensors could be maintained in the desired `earth-looking' mode. One feature was the precision-pointing accuracy of the primary imager to 0.01 deg provided by a star sensor and an updated ephemeris navigation system. This allowed automatic geographical mapping of the digital imagery to the nearest picture element. The operational line scan system (OLS) built by Westinghouse, was the primary data acquisition system that provided real-time or stored, multi-orbit, day-and-night visual and infrared imagery at 1/3-nautical-mile resolution for all major land masses, 1-1/2-nautical-mile resolution for complete global coverage, and provided with this data calibration, timing, and other auxiliary signals to the spacecraft for digital transmission to the ground. A supplementary sensor package, the special sensor H (SSH), a step-scanning radiometer, was the infrared temperature-humidity-ozone sounder. The data processing system, which included three high-density tape recorders, was capable of storing a total of 400 min of data, each allowing full global coverage twice daily. Either recorded or real-time data were transmitted to ground-receiving sites via two redundant S-band transmitters. Recorded data were read out to tracking sites located at Fairchild AFB, WA, and Loring AFB, ME, and relayed via SATCOM to Air Force Global Weather Central, Offutt AFB, NE.

Meteosat 3 is a refurbished protoype of Meteosat-2.In general, the design, the instrumentation, and the operation aresimilar to SMS/GOES. The cylindrically shaped spacecraft measures 210cm in diameter and 430 cm in length, including the apogee boost motor.The primary structural members are an equipment platform and a centraltube. The radiometer telescope is mounted on the equipment platformand views the earth through a special aperture in the side of thespacecraft. A support structure extends radially out from the centraltube and is affixed to the solar panels, which form the outer walls ofthe spacecraft. These solar panels provide the primary source ofelectrical power. Located in the annulus-shaped space between thecentral tube and the solar panels are station-keeping and dynamicscontrol equipment and batteries. Proper spacecraft attitude and spinrate (approximately 100 rpm) are maintained by jet thrusters mountedon the spacecraft and activated by ground command. The spacecraft usesboth UHF-band and S-band frequencies in the telemetry and commandsystems. During launch, a lower power VHF transponder providestelemetry and command. After launch, the VHF transponder then servesas a backup for the primary subsystem once the spacecraft attainssynchronous orbit.The spin-stabilized, geostationary spacecraft carries (1) a visible-IRradiometer to provide high-quality, day/night cloud-cover data and totake radiance temperatures of the earth/atmosphere system, and (2) ameteorological data collection system to disseminate image data touser stations, to collect data from various earth-based platforms, andto relay data from polar-orbiting satellites.

The DMSP designs, builds,launches, and maintains satellites monitoring themeteorological, oceanographic, and solar-terrestrial physicsenvironments.Each DMSP satellite has a 101 minute, sun-synchronous near-polarorbit at an altitude of 830km above the surface of theearth. The visible and infrared sensors (OLS) collect imagesacross a 3000km swath, providing global coverage twice perday. The combination of day/night and dawn/dusk satellitesallows monitoring of global information such as clouds every 6hours. The microwave imager (MI) and sounders (T1, T2) cover onehalf the width of the visible and infrared swath. Theseinstruments cover polar regions at least twice and theequatorial region once per day. The space environment sensors(J4, M, IES) record along-track plasma densities, velocities,composition and drifts.The data from the DMSP satellites are received and used atoperational centers continuously.

The first Meteosat, Meteosat-1, was launched in 1977, and the last of the first generation, Meteosat-7, was launched 20 years later, in 1997.More Information:http://www.eumetsat.int/Home/Main/Satellites/MeteosatFirstGeneration/index.htm?l=enMeteosat Second Generation (MSG) consists of a series of four geostationary meteorological satellites, along with ground-based infrastructure, that will operate consecutively until 2020. The MSG satellites carry an impressive pair of instruments, the Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (SEVIRI), which has the capacity to observe the Earth in 12 spectral channels and provide image data which is core to operational forecasting needs, and the Geostationary Earth Radiation Budget (GERB) instrument supporting climate studies.More Information: http://www.eumetsat.int/Home/Main/Satellites/MeteosatSecondGeneration/MissionOverview/index.htm?l=enThe Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) system is being established through cooperation between EUMETSAT and the European Space Agency (ESA). ESA has already contributed to the initial research and development of the new satellites. The first MTG-I and MTG-S prototypes are being developed by ESA as part of its MTG programme. The EUMETSAT MTG programme includes the procurement of the four recurrent satellites - three MTG-Is and one additional MTG-S - as well as six launches, the development of the ground segment and the operations of all satellites.The Euronews video (right) provides a useful introduction to past and future developments in European satellite meteorology, with particular reference to the MTG programme.The MTG series will comprise six satellites, with the first spacecraft likely to be ready for launch from 2017. The in orbit configuration will consist of two parallel positioned satellites, the MTG-I (imager) and the MTG-S (sounder) platforms. Unlike the first and second generation Meteosat series, MTG will be based on three axes stabilised platforms having the advantage that the instruments are 100% of their in orbit time pointed to the Earth. Such improvements are necessary to achieve compliance with more demanding user requirements on spatial resolution, repeat cycle and signal to noise ratio, and are a prerequisite to conduct soundings from geostationary orbit.MTG-I satellites will fly the Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) and an imaging lightning detection instrument the Lightning Imager (LI). The MTG-S will include an interferometer the InfraRed Sounder (IRS) with hyper-spectral resolution in the thermal spectral domain, and the Sentinel-4 instrument, the high resolution Ultraviolet Visible Near-infrared (UVN) spectrometer.The programme should guarantee access to space-acquired meteorological data until at least the late 2030s.http://www.eumetsat.int/Home/Main/Satellites/MeteosatThirdGeneration/index.htm?l=enGroup: Platform_Details Entry_ID: METEOSAT Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: METEOSAT Short_Name: METEOSAT End_Group Online_Resource: http://www.eumetsat.int/Home/Main/Satellites/MeteosatFirstGeneration/index.htm?l=en Online_Resource: http://www.eumetsat.int/Home/Main/Satellites/MeteosatSecondGeneration/MissionOverview/index.htm?l=en Online_Resource: http://www.eumetsat.int/Home/Main/Satellites/MeteosatThirdGeneration/index.htm?l=en Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1977-12-09 Primary_Sponsor: ESA Primary_Sponsor: EUMETSAT End_GroupEnd_Group 2020-10-05 15:13:07.0 2021-11-16 Balloons Date=2021-11-16 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=Balloons [90077852-8e6b-4f16-92b3-24a52eecdd4a,835877] - DROPWINDSONDES [fa514134-ff56-47d1-bc02-6b8568ad21e7,826924] Date=2021-11-16 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Balloons [90077852-8e6b-4f16-92b3-24a52eecdd4a,835877] - BALLOONS [a1586112-38f5-461c-9e88-0a95cf62062c,826573] Date=2021-11-16 User Id=tstevens Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Balloons [90077852-8e6b-4f16-92b3-24a52eecdd4a,835877] - DROPWINDSONDES [fa514134-ff56-47d1-bc02-6b8568ad21e7,826924] Date=2022-02-16 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: A nonporous bag of light material that can be inflated especially with air or gas.

Building upon the success of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM), it will initiate the measurement of global precipitation, a key climate factor. Its science objectives are: to improve ongoing efforts to predict climate by providing near-global measurement of precipitation, its distribution, and physical processes; to improve the accuracy of weather and precipitation forecasts through more accurate measurement of rain rates and latent heating; and to provide more frequent and complete sampling of the Earth's precipitation. GPM Constellation is envisioned to consist of a core spacecraft to measure precipitation structure and to provide a calibration standard for the constellation spacecraft, an international constellation of NASA and contributed spacecraft to provide frequent precipitation measurements on a global basis, calibration/validation sites distributed globally with a broad array of precipitation-measuring instrumentation, and a global precipitation data system to produce and distribute global rain maps and climate research products. The GPM Core Observatory carries the first space-borne Ku/Ka-band Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) and a multi-channel GPM Microwave Imager (GMI). The DPR instrument, which provides three dimensional measurements of precipitation structure over 78 and 152 mile (125 and 245 km) swaths, consists of a Ka-band precipitation radar (KaPR) operating at 35.5 GHz and a Ku-band precipitation radar (KuPR) operating at 13.6 GHz. Relative to the TRMM precipitation radar, the DPR is more sensitive to light rain rates and snowfall. In addition, simultaneous measurements by the overlapping of Ka/Ku-bands of the DPR can provide new information on particle drop size distributions over moderate precipitation intensities. In addition, by providing new microphysical measurements from the DPR to complement cloud and aerosol observations, GPM is expected to provide further insights into how precipitation processes may be affected by human activities. The GMI instrument is a conical-scanning multi-channel microwave radiometer covering a swath of 550 miles (885 km) with thirteen channels ranging in frequency from 10 GHz to 183 GHz. The GMI uses a set of frequencies that have been optimized over the past two decades to retrieve heavy, moderate and light precipitation using the polarization difference at each channel as an indicator of the optical thickness and water content.

The GMI uses a set of frequencies that have been optimized over the past two decades to retrieve heavy, moderate and light precipitation using the polarization difference at each channel as an indicator of the optical thickness and water content.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GPM Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: GPM Long_Name: Global Precipitation Measurement End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: GMI Short_Name: DPR End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Non-Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2009-02-25 Online_Resource: https://pmm.nasa.gov/GPM Online_Resource: http://global.jaxa.jp/projects/sat/gpm/index.html Online_Resource: http://www.eorc.jaxa.jp/GPM/index_e.htm Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2014-01-25 Launch_Site: TANEGASHIMA ISLAND, JAPAN Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA Primary_Sponsor: JAPAN/JAXA End_GroupEnd_Group 2020-12-28 17:06:11.0 2018-10-12 Sea Ice Mass Balance Station Date=2022-02-20 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: The station consists of a 2m long ice temperature probe, a data logger, a radio telemetry system and a battery power supply.

The lifetime of SPOT-5 and Landsat is coming to an end. It is necessary to provide continuity and thus guarantee the availability of data to service providers and users. Enhancement as required by the growing user demand for higher service quality shall be considered. Action has to be started urgently as recognised also by ESA and EC, including the recent communication to European Parliament on Establishing a GMES Capacity by 2008.In addition, activities related to the accommodation of the IR sensor on Sentinel 2 will be added during the second part of the definition study.

IMAGE is the first satellite missiondedicated to imaging the Earth's magnetosphere, the region ofspace controlled by the Earth's magnetic field and containingextremely tenuous plasmas of both solar and terrestrialorigin. Invisible to standard astronomical observing techniques,these populations of ions and electrons have traditionally beenstudied by means of localized measurements with charged particledetectors, magnetometers, and electric fieldinstruments. Instead of such in-situ measurements, IMAGE employsa variety of imaging techniques to 'see the invisible' and toproduce the first comprehensive global images of the plasmapopulations in the inner magnetosphere. With these images, spacescientists are able to observe, in a way never before possible,the large-scale dynamics of the magnetosphere and theinteractions among its constituent plasma populations.Additional information available at'http://pluto.space.swri.edu/IMAGE/'Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: IMAGE Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: IMAGE Long_Name: Imager for Magnetopause -to - Aurora Global Exploration End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: IMAGE End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: UVI End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-20 Online_Resource: http://image.gsfc.nasa.gov/ Sample_Image: http://image.gsfc.nasa.gov/image/image_launch_a5.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2000-03-25 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group FY-3A Date=2021-10-12 User Id=sritz Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=FY-3A [2f734fc9-2cfa-4a60-b71e-1357a168fbd1,754160] - FengYun-3 [84ec9a79-3594-4915-8475-66fdb6e1481c,763851] Date=2021-10-12 User Id=sritz Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=FY-3A [2f734fc9-2cfa-4a60-b71e-1357a168fbd1,754160] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,754179] Storm III (FY-3) satellite is China's second-generation polar orbit meteorological satellite, which is the basis of FY-1 meteorological satellite technology on the development and improvement in function and technology a big step forward with qualitative change, specific requirements to solve the three-dimensional atmospheric detection, ability to obtain substantial increase in global data to further enhance the cloud and surface characteristics of remote sensing capabilities, enabling access to global, all-weather, three-dimensional, quantitative, multi-spectral atmosphere, surface and sea surface parameters.

The GRACE mission has two identical spacecrafts flying about 220 kilometers apart in a polar orbit 500 kilometers above the Earth. It maps the Earth's gravity fields by making accurate measurements of the distance between the two satellites, using geodetic quality Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers and a microwave ranging system. This provides scientists from all over the world with an efficient and cost-effective way to map the Earth's gravity fields with unprecedented accuracy. The results from this mission yield crucial information about the distribution and flow of mass within the Earth and it's surroundings. The gravity variations that GRACE studies include: changes due to surface and deep currents in the ocean; runoff and ground water storage on land masses; exchanges between ice sheets or glaciers and the oceans; and variations of mass within the Earth. Another goal of the mission is to create a better profile of the Earth's atmosphere.

The GRACE mission has two identical spacecrafts flying about 220 kilometers apart in a polar orbit 500 kilometers above the Earth. It maps the Earth's gravity fields by making accurate measurements of the distance between the two satellites, using geodetic quality Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers and a microwave ranging system. This provides scientists from all over the world with an efficient and cost-effective way to map the Earth's gravity fields with unprecedented accuracy. The results from this mission yield crucial information about the distribution and flow of mass within the Earth and it's surroundings. The gravity variations that GRACE studies include: changes due to surface and deep currents in the ocean; runoff and ground water storage on land masses; exchanges between ice sheets or glaciers and the oceans; and variations of mass within the Earth. Another goal of the mission is to create a better profile of the Earth's atmosphere.

On Tuesday April 1, 2003 GOES-12 (Formerly Referred to as GOES-M) replaced GOES-8 as the operational GOES East Satellite. NOAA deactivated the satellite on May 5, 2004 and will boost it into an orbit 350 kilometers above its original geostationary position, where it will be disposed safely in three controlled burns. GOES I-M represented the next generation of meteorological satellites and introduces two new features. The first feature, flexible scan, offers small-scale area imaging that lets meteorologists take pictures of local weather trouble spots. This allows them to improve short-term forecasts over local areas. The second feature, simultaneous and independent imaging and sounding, is designed to allow weather forecasters to use multiple measurements of weather phenomena to increase the accuracy of their forecasts. Each satellite in the series carries two major instruments: an Imager and a Sounder. These instruments acquire high resolution visible and infrared data, as well as temperature and moisture profiles of the atmosphere. They continuously transmit these data to ground terminals where the data are processed for rebroadcast to primary weather services both in the United States and around the world, including the global research community. The GOES I-M mission ran from the mid-1990s into the first decade of the 21st century. Each element of the mission has been designed to meet all in-orbit performance requirements for at least five years. The GOES I-M system performed the following basic functions: + Acquisition, processing, and dissemination of imaging and sounding data. + Acquisition and dissemination of Space Environment Monitor (SEM) data. + Reception and relay of data from ground-based Data Collection Platforms (DCPs) that are situated in carefully selected urban and remote areas to the NOAA Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) station. + Continuous relay of Weather Facsimile (WEFAX) and other data to users, independent of all other functions. + Relay of distress signals from people, aircraft, or marine vessels to the search and rescue ground stations of the Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) system. GOES provides the instantaneous relay functions for the SARSAT system. A dedicated search and rescue transponder on board GOES is designed to detect emergency distress signals originating from Earth-based sources. These unique identification signals are normally combined with signals received by a low-Earth orbiting satellite system and relayed to a search and rescue ground terminal. The combined data are used to perform effective search and rescue operations. The GOES I-M system serves a region covering the central and eastern Pacific Ocean; North, Central, and South America; and the central and western Atlantic Ocean. Pacific coverage includes Hawaii and the Gulf of Alaska. This is accomplished by two satellites, GOES West located at 135 west longitude and GOES East at 75 west longitude. A common ground station, the CDA station located at Wallops, Virginia, supports the interface to both satellites. The NOAA Satellite Operations Control Center (SOCC), in Suitland, Maryland, provides spacecraft scheduling, health and safety monitoring, and engineering analyses. Delivery of products involves ground processing of the raw instrument data for radiometric calibration and Earth location information, and retransmission to the satellite for relay to the data user community. The processed data are received at the control center and disseminated to the National Weather Service's (NWS) National Meteorological Center, Camp Springs, Maryland, and NWS forecast offices, including the National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida, and the National Severe Storms Forecast Center, Kansas City, Missouri. Processed data are also received by Department of Defense installations, universities, and numerous private commercial users.

The multi-element spectral channels simultaneously sweep east-west and west-east along a north-to-south path by means of a two-axis mirror scan system. The instrument can produce full-Earth disc images, sector images that contain the edges of the Earth, and various sizes of area scans completely enclosed within the Earth scene using a new flexible scan system. Scan selection permits rapid continuous viewing of local areas for monitoring of mesoscale (regional) phenomena and accurate wind determination.

During the northern summer the JCR supports NERC research, largely in the Arctic. 2022-02-24 15:54:10.0 Spacelab-1 Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=SPACELAB-1 [320292c9-dd15-43db-bbe7-36a217efc535,826113] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SPACELAB-1 [320292c9-dd15-43db-bbe7-36a217efc535,826113] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Date=2022-04-20 User Id=tstevens Entity=PrefLabel Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update PrefLabel Old Value=SPACELAB-1 New Value=Spacelab-1 Date=2022-04-20 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=reference System Note=update Definition New Value=https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/content/-/article/spacelab1 Date=2022-04-20 User Id=tstevens Entity=Resource Operation=UPDATE Field=type System Note=update Resource Old Value=IMAGE New Value=image Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SPACELAB-1 [320292c9-dd15-43db-bbe7-36a217efc535,826113] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SPACELAB-1 [320292c9-dd15-43db-bbe7-36a217efc535,826113] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=SPACELAB-1 [320292c9-dd15-43db-bbe7-36a217efc535,826113] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2022-04-20 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=The first Spacelab mission was a joint NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) mission. Spacelab 1 consisted of a pressurized compartment (module) for housing equipment and flight personnel and a space-exposed platform to accommodate instruments. The compartment and platform were flown into space and returned inside the payload compartment of the Space Shuttle. The mission lasted 10 days, and while in space, the Shuttle payload compartment doors were opened to allow viewing of the earth, sun, and deep space. Spacelab 1 was a multidiscipline mission comprising five broad areas of investigation: Atmospheric Physics and Earth Observations, Space Plasma Physics, Astronomy and Solar Physics, Material Sciences and Technology, and Life Sciences. The Atmospheric Physics investigations conducted studies of the earth's environment through surveys of temperature, composition, and motion of the atmosphere. The Earth Observations investigations used and evaluated the capability of advanced measuring systems for making topographic and thematic maps from high-resolution photographs and from remote-sensing data. Investigations in the Space Plasma Physics group studied the charged particle or plasma environment of the earth. The Astronomy investigations studied astronomical sources of radiation in the ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths. The Solar Physics investigations measured the total energy output of the sun using three different methods with the instruments cross calibrated so that meaningful comparisons could be made. The Material Sciences and Technology investigations took advantage of the microgravity conditions to perform studies in such areas as crystal growth, metallurgy, tribology, fluid physics, and ceramics technology. The Life Sciences investigations were concerned with the effects of the space environment (zero gravity and high-energy radiation) on human physiology and on the growth, development, and organization of biological systems. The mission was considered very successful.

These dropwindsondes obtain vertical profiles of wind, temperature, and humidity from 400mb to the surface. This data is then ingested by numerical numerical models to come up with hurricane track and intensity forecasts. These observations provide grid points of observations over the tropical oceans which are generally devoid of weather observations. Aberson and Franklin (1999) state that "accurate modeling of tropical cyclone motion and intensity requires both realistic numerical models and accurate representation of meteorological fields through the depth of the troposphere on a variety of scales." While models have greatly improved over the past 20 years, significant forecast improvements are still possible by decreasing the analysis error. This has been the primary goal of the Hurricane Research Division (HRD) branch of NOAA. This is wh! y NOAA has procured a new generation of dropwindsondes based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) as well a Gulfstream-IV jet aircraft (G-IV). A study of the impact of the new dropwindsondes' observations on hurricane forecast models was conducted by Aberson and Frankilin in 1997. In the 1997 study about 30 dropwindsondes were used during each mission. These observations were then put into the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) and VICBAR hurricane models and the Global Spectral Model (GSM) using the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Data Assimilation (GDAS). GDAS uses a quality control algorithm, synthetic data and analysis procedures, and the Global Spectral Model in its data assimilation. Further information about the data assimilation can be found in Aberson and Franklin (1999). For the study NCEP's GSM is run and is used as the boundary conditions for the HRD's barotropic model (VICBAR) and the GFDL model.

This data is then ingested by numerical numerical models to come up with hurricane track and intensity forecasts. These observations provide grid points of observations over the tropical oceans which are generally devoid of weather observations. Aberson and Franklin (1999) state that 'accurate modeling of tropical cyclone motion and intensity requires both realistic numerical models and accurate representation of meteorological fields through the depth of the troposphere on a variety of scales.' While models have greatly improved over the past 20 years, significant forecast improvements are still possible by decreasing the analysis error. This has been the primary goal of the Hurricane Research Division (HRD) branch of NOAA. This is wh! y NOAA has procured a new generation of dropwindsondes based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) as well a Gulfstream-IV jet aircraft (G-IV). A study of the impact of the new dropwindsondes' observations on hurricane forecast models was conducted by Aberson and Frankilin in 1997. In the 1997 study about 30 dropwindsondes were used during each mission. These observations were then put into the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) and VICBAR hurricane models and the Global Spectral Model (GSM) using the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Data Assimilation (GDAS). GDAS uses a quality control algorithm, synthetic data and analysis procedures, and the Global Spectral Model in its data assimilation. Further information about the data assimilation can be found in Aberson and Franklin (1999). For the study NCEP's GSM is run and is used as the boundary conditions for the HRD's barotropic model (VICBAR) and the GFDL model. The track forecasts of the GSM, VICBAR, and GFDL models were compared to the CLIPER model to calculate track errors and the SHIFOR model to calculate intensity errors. 2022-03-13 18:06:27.0 Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (JERS) Date=2021-12-02 User Id=tstevens Entity=PrefLabel Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update PrefLabel Old Value=JERS New Value=Japanese Earth Resources Satellite (JERS) Date=2022-03-03 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: JERS (Japanese Earth Resources Satellite) was a Japanese Earth observation satellite launched by NASDA (National Space Development Agency); also known by the national name Fuyo.

AE-E was similar in construction andinstrumentation to AE-C. AE-E was launched on 1975-11-20 and decayedon 1981-06-10.The purpose of the AE-C mission was to investigate the uppermost layerof the earth's atmosphere, the thermosphere, with emphasis on energytransfer and other controlling processes. Photochemical processesrelated to the absorption of solar UV radiation were studied by makingcoordinated measurements of reacting constituents and the solar input.Simultaneous two-spacecraft sampling was carried out at higherlatitudes by the AE-D and AE-E spacecraft until the failure of AE-D onJanuary 29, 1976, and then by (the re-activated) AE-C and AE-Espacecraft until AE-C re-entered the earth's atmosphere on December12, 1978.The AE-E perigee swept through more than six full latitude cycles andtwo local time cycles during the first year after launch when theorbit was elliptical, and the perigee height was varied between 130and 400 km. The circularization of the orbit around 390 km was madeon November 20, 1976, and the spacecraft perigee was raised to thisheight whenever it had decayed to about 250 km. AE-E re-entered theearth's atmosphere on June 10, 1981 thus terminating the operations.The payload included instrumentation to measure: Solar UV Fluxes, theComposition of Positive Ions and Neutral Particles, the Density andTemperature of neutral particles, positive ions and electrons,Atmospheric airglow emissions, Photoelectron Energy Spectra, Protonand Electron Fluxes with particle energy up to 25 keV, and abackscatter UV spectrometer to monitor the atmospheric ozone content.Power was supplied by a solar cell array. The spacecraft used a PCMtelemetry data system that operated in real time or using a taperecorder.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: AE-E Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: AE (Atmosphere Explorer) Short_Name: AE-E Long_Name: Atmosphere Explorer E (Explorer 55) End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Explorer 55 Short_Name: 08440 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: UV SPECTROMETER End_Group Group: Orbit Perigee: 130 to 400 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-08-22 Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/database/MasterCatalog?sc=1975-107A Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1975-11-20 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group SCD Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=SCD [7b07a0be-b4c9-4837-9521-287bf07198aa,826402] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-29 User Id=sritz Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=SCD [7b07a0be-b4c9-4837-9521-287bf07198aa,826402] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,826121] Date=2021-11-29 User Id=sritz Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SCD [7b07a0be-b4c9-4837-9521-287bf07198aa,826402] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SCD [7b07a0be-b4c9-4837-9521-287bf07198aa,826402] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,826121] The satellites of the SCD (Satelites de Coleta de Dados) seriesare equipped to collect and transmit meteorological andenvironmental data collected by automatic platforms (PCD)installed on land or on oceanic buoys.

The cylindricallyshaped spacecraft measured 190.5 cm in diameter and 230 cm in length, exclusiveof a magnetometer that extended an additional 83 cm beyond the cylinder shell.The primary structural members were a honeycombed equipment shelf and thrusttube. The VISSR telescope was mounted on the equipment shelf and viewed theEarth through a special aperture in the side of the spacecraft. A supportstructure extended radially out from the thrust tube and was affixed to thesolar panels, which formed the outer walls of the spacecraft and provided theprimary source of electrical power. Located in the annulus-shaped spacebetween the thrust tube and the solar panels were stationkeeping and dynamicscontrol equipment, batteries, and most of the SEM equipment. Proper spacecraftattitude and spin rate (approximately 100 rpm) were maintained by two separatesets of jet thrusters mounted around the spacecraft equator and activated byground command. The spacecraft used both UHF-band and S-band frequencies inits telemetry and command subsystem. A low-power VHF transponder providedtelemetry and command during launch and then served as a backup for the primarysubsystem once the spacecraft attained orbit.The spin-stabilized spacecraft carried a visible infrared spin-scan radiometeratmospheric sounder, meteorological data collection and transmission system,space environment monitor, energetic particle monitor, and a magnetic fieldmonitor. GOES 7 was positioned at 98 degrees West in the summer (Atlantichurricane season) and 108 degrees West in the winter (Pacific storm season).For more information on GOES satellites: http://www.oso.noaa.gov/goes/Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GOES-7 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) Short_Name: GOES-7 Long_Name: Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 7 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: GOES H Short_Name: PEACESAT Short_Name: 17561 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: SXM Short_Name: EPM Short_Name: VAS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 0.10000000149011612° Period: 1440.0 minutes Perigee: 35788.0 km Apogee: 35788.0 km Orbit_Type: GEO > GEOSYNCHRONOUS > GEOSTATIONARY End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-10-04 Online_Resource: http://www.oso.noaa.gov/goes/ Online_Resource: http://goespoes.gsfc.nasa.gov/goes/ Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftDisplay.do?id=1987-022A Sample_Image: http://library01.gsfc.nasa.gov/gdprojs/images/goes_2.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1987-02-26 Launch_Site: CAPE CANAVERAL/KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, USA Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA Primary_Sponsor: USA/NOAA End_GroupEnd_Group 2023-08-17 PLT-2 Date=2023-08-17 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: he PLATiNO-2 mission envisages the development of the second satellite based on the PLATiNO platform and embarks a Thermal Infrared (TIR) payload, validating PLATiNO multi-applicability feature.

But help is at hand — a new generation of Meteosat satellites will soon be launched, delivering Earth observations of unprecedented range, resolution, and frequency. Building on the decades-long legacy of Meteosat’s first and second generation satellites, Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) will revolutionise storm prediction, enhance weather forecasts, extend climate records, and provide a wide range of essential observations. These measurements will underpin services, support livelihoods, and help save lives. New satellites MTG is one of the most complex and innovative meteorological geostationary satellite systems ever built. The complete constellation consists of three satellites: two imaging satellites and one sounding satellite, the first operational sounding satellite in a geostationary orbit. Based on user requirements collected during the planning phase of the programme, MTG will provide near-real-time 3D snapshots of important characteristics of the atmosphere. MISSION FACTS: MTG will orbit the Earth at an altitude of 36,000km keeping a constant view over Europe and Africa. MTG constellation consists of three satellites: two imaging satellites (MTG-I), one sounding satellite (MTG-S). Two constellations of six new geostationary satellites will be launched. The Infrared Sounder, Lightning Imager and Ultraviolet Visible Near-infrared (UVN) Spectrometer are world firsts in this orbit. MTG lifetime — MTG-I: 20 years of operational services, MTG-S: 15 years of operational services. The two MTG-I satellites will operate in tandem, one providing 0 degree full disc service, scanning Europe and Africa every 10 minutes, the other providing the rapid scanning service (RSS), scanning Europe every 2.5 minutes. MTG-I will deliver more frequent data (full disc every 10 minutes versus 15 minutes currently from MSG and RSS every 2.5 minutes versus 5 minutes), improved spatial resolution (500m/2km versus 1km/3km for MSG) and a better radiometric and spectral resolution (16 channels versus 12 channels for MSG). The Lightning Imager will provide new real-time data on the location and intensity of lightning flashes in its field of view, covering the full Earth disk. The infrared and UVN sounding missions will deliver new capabilities for the real-time monitoring of atmospheric profiles, air quality (e.g. tropospheric ozone and carbon monoxide) and dispersion of atmospheric pollution. MTG carries communications payload (GEOSAR) to relay distress signals from 406MHz emergency beacons to rescue services. MTG operations will commence following the successful commissioning of the first imaging satellite, MTG-I1 (expected to be one year after launch). The full operational capacity will only be achieved once the first sounder and the second imaging satellite have also been commissioned. The MTG spacecraft are being built by a European consortium led by Thales Alenia Space of France. EUMETSAT is responsible for the associated MTG ground segment, which is an integral part of the existing EUMETSAT multi-mission ground network infrastructure, the launch service, the LEOP service and the development of the Satellite Application Facilities part of the MTG programme. language code: en Date=2023-12-21 User Id=mmorahan Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Meteosat Third Generation language code: en Date=2023-12-21 User Id=mmorahan Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=MTG [ed3bd7b7-349a-428e-ab07-2cf332fcb783,1528851] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,1518644] ABOUT THE MTG MISSION:Severe storms can pose significant and increasing hazards to society.

MUX has a resolution of 16 m and a swath width of 95 km, while WFI has a resolution of 55 m and a swath width of 684 km.CBERS-4A undertakes a sun-synchronous orbit with an altitude of 629 km and an inclination of 97.9°. The satellite has a period of 97.3 minutes and a repeat cycle of 31 days.Space and Hardware ComponentsThe 1,730 kg satellite CBERS-4A was launched onboard a Long March 4B (LM-4B) launch vehicle from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Complex in Shanxi, China. 2024-04-18 10:29:23.0 CRRES The Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) Programis comprised of several elements. One is the release of powdered andliquid chemicals during the first 45 to 60 days after launch, when thespacecraft is in its 300-km altitude circular orbit. These releasesare used to study electric fields, neutral winds, and other phenomenain the upper atmosphere, the ionosphere, and the magnetosphere. Thespacecraft spins at 20 rpm during the low altitude orbit phase of theprogram. After the chemical releases are completed, the satellite isboosted into a geosynchronous-transfer-type orbit and spun down to 2rpm. The orbit parameters of this final orbit are as follows: apogeealtitude - 35,800 km, perigee altitude - 400 km, period - 630 min,inclination - about 16 deg.As the satellite traverses the inner magnetosphere, a fullcomplement of field, particle, and plasma instruments measuresthe radiation environment. A comprehensive set of state-of-the-artmicroelectronics devices and other spacecraft components are testedin orbit for radiation effects. A major segment of the CRRES payloadis part of AFGL's Space Radiation Effects Program (SPACERAD). TheSPACERAD Program is a comprehensive space and ground test effort to(a) measure radiation-induced single event upsets and total dosedegradation of state-of-the-art microelectronics devices, includingVHSIC and GaAs, in a known space environment; (b) perform laboratoryradiation response and annealing characterization of parts identicalto those flown on CRRES; (c) develop algorithms to relate spaceperformance of microelectronic components to ground testprocedures, and update existing radiation ground test guidelines tomore accurately simulate the behavior of devices in space; (d) spacequalify advanced technology devices for use in operational systems;(e) update the static models of the radiation belts; and (f) developthe first dynamic models of the high-energy particle populations. Theon-orbit phase of SPACERAD lasts for about 3 years. In addition,there are other radiation belt experiments on CRRES provided by theNavy. The CRRES spacecraft has the shape of an octagonal prism withsolar arrays on the top side. The prism is 1 m high and 3 m betweenopposite faces. Four of the eight compartments are for the chemicalcanisters and the other four house the SPACERAD and other experiments.The spin axis of CRRES is controlled so that it points at the sun.

The satellite was spherically shaped with a 12-cm radius.The core was an alloy of uranium 238 and 1.5% molybdenum. The skin consisted of20 spherical caps made of an alloy of aluminum and 5% magnesium with triangularbases. Each cap contained three laser corner cubes. The corner cubes were fusedsilica trihedrons with circular apertures made of suprasil 1 with silvercoatings covered by inconel. For Groupe de Recherches de Geodesie Spatiale(GRGS), the principal objective was to study earth and ocean tides by (1) thedetermination of the second harmonics (amplitude and phase) of the mainsemidiurnal oceanic tides (M and S) and, if possible, of the diurnal K, O, andP tides; and (2) the determination of the dissipation in the solid earth and inthe oceans (Q). - Auxiliary Information - Launch Date and Time : 1975-02-06 Epoch Date and Time : 1975-02-20 Apogee (km or AU): 1108.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe.

Terra is the first EOS (Earth Observing System) platform and provides global data on the state of the atmosphere, land, and oceans, as well as their interactions with solar radiation and with one another. Since the 1950's, it has become increasingly clear that human activities are modifying the composition of the atmosphere on a global scale. As the result of industrialization, the concentration of carbon dioxide has increased by about 20% during this period. More recently, the stratospheric concentrations of chemically-active gases containing chlorine, bromine, and fluorine have dramatically increased.

Aeolus will be the first-ever satellite to directly observe wind profiles from space. Named after Aeolus, who in Greek mythology was appointed 'keeper of the winds' by the Gods, this mission will provide much-needed data to improve the quality of weather forecasts as well as contribute to long-term climate research. New Value=The Earth Explorer Atmospheric Dynamics Mission Aeolus will provide global observations of wind profiles from space to improve the quality of weather forecasts, and to advance our understanding of atmospheric dynamics and climate processes. Although there are several ways of measuring wind from a satellite, Aeolus will utilise the active Doppler Wind Lidars (DWL) method. This is the only method that has the potential to provide the required data globally, from direct wind observations. In addition, a DWL will provide information on cloud top heights, vertical distribution of cloud, aerosol properties, and wind variability. This information is a useful by-product of the DWL method. An improved model of the Earth's climate and atmosphere will lead to progress in numerical weather prediction (NWP), especially concerning long-term forecasting. It is widely recognised that a new global atmospheric observing system, such as Aeolus, will have a great effect upon operational weather forecasting. The provision of detailed wind profiles will also benefit scientists involved with climate research, allowing for greater accuracy in the numerical modelling of tropical regions in particular. The Aeolus mission was launched on 22 August 2018.

Named after Aeolus, who in Greek mythology was appointed 'keeper of the winds' by the Gods, this mission will provide much-needed data to improve the quality of weather forecasts as well as contribute to long-term climate research. language code: en Date=2020-10-06 User Id=mmorahan Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Earth Explorer Atmospheric Dynamics Mission Aeolus language code: en Date=2019-02-11 User Id=mmorahan Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: f94386e2-8e9b-4a95-9071-fb617a50cabb relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2018-06-12 User Id=mmorahan Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=Aeolus [e31c4750-9903-4de7-95ef-faa9610f3a63,367659] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,344761] The Earth Explorer Atmospheric Dynamics Mission Aeolus will provide global observations of wind profiles from space to improve the quality of weather forecasts, and to advance our understanding of atmospheric dynamics and climate processes.Although there are several ways of measuring wind from a satellite, Aeolus will utilise the active Doppler Wind Lidars (DWL) method. This is the only method that has the potential to provide the required data globally, from direct wind observations. In addition, a DWL will provide information on cloud top heights, vertical distribution of cloud, aerosol properties, and wind variability. This information is a useful by-product of the DWL method.An improved model of the Earth's climate and atmosphere will lead to progress in numerical weather prediction (NWP), especially concerning long-term forecasting. It is widely recognised that a new global atmospheric observing system, such as Aeolus, will have a great effect upon operational weather forecasting. The provision of detailed wind profiles will also benefit scientists involved with climate research, allowing for greater accuracy in the numerical modelling of tropical regions in particular. The Aeolus mission was launched on 22 August 2018. 2020-10-06 07:56:10.0 2015-08-03 Kanopus-V Date=2015-08-03 User Id=mpmorahan Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=Kanopus-V [a93bb213-7862-4aa5-a113-38669e557a76,158131] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,143415] Date=2015-08-03 User Id=mpmorahan Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null text: Environmental Satellite Kanopus-V language code: en Environmental Satellite Kanopus-VGroup: Platform_Details Entry_ID: Kanopus-V Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: Kanopus-V Long_Name: Environmental Satellite Kanopus-V End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: PSS_RS Short_Name: MSS_RS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 510 km Orbit_Inclination: 97.4 degrees Period: 94.7 minutes Repeat_Cycle: 5 days Orbit_Type: LEO > LOW EARTH ORBIT > POLAR SUN-SYNCHRONOUS End_Group Creation_Date: 2015-08-19 Online_Resource: http://vniiem.ru/ru/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=622:-l-r-1-3-4-5-6&catid=85:--l-r&Itemid=62 Sample_Image: http://vniiem.ru/ru/uploads/images/kanopus_3b.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2011-01-20 Design_Life: 10 years End_GroupEnd_Group 2015-08-03 09:01:05.0 2018-02-26 COMS Date=2018-02-26 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: In 1996, Korea established its long-term plan of the National Space Program which was revised in 2000 to accommodate the public and civilian demand for satellite utilization and to maintain the continuity of satellite services.

TRMM is particularly devoted to determining rainfall in the tropics and subtropics of the Earth. These regions make up about two thirds of the total rainfall on Earth and are responsible for driving our weather and climate system. TRMM contributed to a better understanding of where and how much the winds blow, where the clouds form and rain occurs, where floods and droughts will occur, and how the winds drive the ocean currents. TRMM accomplished this not just by providing rainfall data but, more importantly, by providing information on heat released into the atmosphere as part of the process that leads to rain. TRMM was launched on November 27, 1997, on the Japanese H-II vehicle from the Tanegashima Space Center in Tanegashima, Japan. Continuous science data collection began December 8, 1997. Upon completion of the nominal 3-year prime mission, the decision was made to boost the mission from its original altitude of 350km to 402.5km, to reduce fuel consumption and extend the mission life. The TRMM boost was completed August 24, 2001, and the orbit was maintained until 2014, when fuel was depleted and the spacecraft began to descend. Mission operations were terminated in April 2015, the spacecraft re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and mostly burned up in June 2015. TRMM exceeded its 3-year design goal by collecting 17 years of rainfall data, creating a benchmark rainfall climatology which is used to test, compare and improve global climate models. The TRMM dataset of rain distribution across the tropics has narrowed considerably the range of uncertainty in previous space-based rainfall estimates. The choice of a precessing, low-inclination orbit (35°) enabled the quantification of the diurnal cycle of precipitation and convective intensity over land and ocean tropics-wide on fine scales (0.25°). TRMM products have provided the first comprehensive estimates of how rainfall is directly related to latent heat release in the atmosphere, a key characteristic in understanding the impact of tropical rainfall on the general circulation of the atmosphere. Based on hydrometeor vertical structure information from the TRMM active and passive sensors, TRMM produced climatologies of latent heating profiles for analysis and comparison with global models. In addition, the lightning sensor delivered a detailed global map of lightning distribution, and combined with the rain data, led to quantifying the lightning/convection relation for land and ocean.

TRMM is particularly devoted to determining rainfall in the tropics and subtropics of the Earth. These regions make up about two thirds of the total rainfall on Earth and are responsible for driving our weather and climate system. TRMM contributed to a better understanding of where and how much the winds blow, where the clouds form and rain occurs, where floods and droughts will occur, and how the winds drive the ocean currents. TRMM accomplished this not just by providing rainfall data but, more importantly, by providing information on heat released into the atmosphere as part of the process that leads to rain.TRMM was launched on November 27, 1997, on the Japanese H-II vehicle from the Tanegashima Space Center in Tanegashima, Japan. Continuous science data collection began December 8, 1997. Upon completion of the nominal 3-year prime mission, the decision was made to boost the mission from its original altitude of 350km to 402.5km, to reduce fuel consumption and extend the mission life. The TRMM boost was completed August 24, 2001, and the orbit was maintained until 2014, when fuel was depleted and the spacecraft began to descend. Mission operations were terminated in April 2015, the spacecraft re-entered the Earth’s atmosphere and mostly burned up in June 2015.TRMM exceeded its 3-year design goal by collecting 17 years of rainfall data, creating a benchmark rainfall climatology which is used to test, compare and improve global climate models. The TRMM dataset of rain distribution across the tropics has narrowed considerably the range of uncertainty in previous space-based rainfall estimates. The choice of a precessing, low-inclination orbit (35°) enabled the quantification of the diurnal cycle of precipitation and convective intensity over land and ocean tropics-wide on fine scales (0.25°). TRMM products have provided the first comprehensive estimates of how rainfall is directly related to latent heat release in the atmosphere, a key characteristic in understanding the impact of tropical rainfall on the general circulation of the atmosphere. Based on hydrometeor vertical structure information from the TRMM active and passive sensors, TRMM produced climatologies of latent heating profiles for analysis and comparison with global models. In addition, the lightning sensor delivered a detailed global map of lightning distribution, and combined with the rain data, led to quantifying the lightning/convection relation for land and ocean.Launch: Launched: November 27, 1997Launch Site: Tanegashima Space Center, JapanOrbit: Altitude: 402 kmInclination: 35 degreesPeriod: 92.6 minutesNon-Sun-SynchronousVital Statistics: Weight: 3512 kgPower: 1100 wattsDesign Life: 3 yearsInstruments: CERES (Clouds and the Earth Radiant Energy SystemLIS (Lightning Imaging Sensor)TMI (TRMM Microwave Radiometer)PR (RADAR)VIRS (Visible/Infrared Radiometer)Website: https://gpm.nasa.gov/missions/trmm[Summary provided by NASA.]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: TRMM Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: TRMM Long_Name: Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: TRMM End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: CERES-PFM Short_Name: PR Short_Name: TMI Short_Name: VIRS Short_Name: LIS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 402 km Orbit_Inclination: 35 degrees Period: 92.6 minutes Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Inclined Non-Polar End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-28 Online_Resource: https://gpm.nasa.gov/missions/trmm Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1997-11-27 Launch_Site: Tanegashima Island, Japan Design_Life: 3 YEARS Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA Primary_Sponsor: JAPAN/JAXA End_GroupEnd_Group 2021-12-15 16:26:54.0 2018-01-26 SES-14 Date=2018-01-29 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=UPDATE Field=relationshipValue System Note=update WeightedRelation Old Value=null New Value=1 Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SES-14 [8dd76819-1baa-4ccd-8544-23c2923f2d84,826497] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,826121] Date=2018-01-26 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=The C-band payload of SES-14 will replace NSS-806 and will support SES’s cable neighborhood in Latin America.

These dropwindsondes obtain vertical profiles of wind, temperature, and humidity from 400mb to the surface. This data is then ingested by numerical numerical models to come up with hurricane track and intensity forecasts. These observations provide grid points of observations over the tropical oceans which are generally devoid of weather observations. Aberson and Franklin (1999) state that 'accurate modeling of tropical cyclone motion and intensity requires both realistic numerical models and accurate representation of meteorological fields through the depth of the troposphere on a variety of scales.' While models have greatly improved over the past 20 years, significant forecast improvements are still possible by decreasing the analysis error. This has been the primary goal of the Hurricane Research Division (HRD) branch of NOAA. This is wh! y NOAA has procured a new generation of dropwindsondes based on the Global Positioning System (GPS) as well a Gulfstream-IV jet aircraft (G-IV). A study of the impact of the new dropwindsondes' observations on hurricane forecast models was conducted by Aberson and Frankilin in 1997. In the 1997 study about 30 dropwindsondes were used during each mission. These observations were then put into the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) and VICBAR hurricane models and the Global Spectral Model (GSM) using the National Center for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Data Assimilation (GDAS). GDAS uses a quality control algorithm, synthetic data and analysis procedures, and the Global Spectral Model in its data assimilation. Further information about the data assimilation can be found in Aberson and Franklin (1999). For the study NCEP's GSM is run and is used as the boundary conditions for the HRD's barotropic model (VICBAR) and the GFDL model. The track forecasts of the GSM, VICBAR, and GFDL models were compared to the CLIPER model to calculate track errors and the SHIFOR model to calculate intensity errors. The CLIPER and SHIFOR models are statistical regression models which use only climatology and persistence in their forecasts.

It was the second (following GEOS 1) NASA satellite in the National Geodetic Satellites Program. PAGEOS 1 was made up of 84 gores and 2 pole caps of 0.0127-mm aluminized mylar film. The gores were 48 m long with maximum width of 1.24 m and the pole caps were 1.02 m in diameter. The primary purpose of the satellite was to provide a tracking target for geodetic purposes. It had a specular reflectance of 0.862, and a diffuse reflectance of 0.029, providing a reflecting light source whose brightness was relatively independent of observer-satellite-sun phase angle. The surface was also 97% reflectant for microwave energy in the range from 17 to 4E5 kHz. The launch, orbit, separation, inflation and initial operation were nominal, with more than 40 ground stations participating in the observation program. The orbit was generally considered too high for drag-density study, although some work was done in this area by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.

Thespacecraft was a 9.8 kg magnesium sphere 50.8 cm in diameter. Itcontained two optical telescopes with two photocells. The sphere wasinternally gold-plated and externally covered with an aluminum depositcoated with silicon oxide of sufficient thickness to provide thermalcontrol for the instrumentation. Radio communication was provided by a1-W, 108.03-MHz telemetry transmitter and a 10-mW, 108-MHz beacontransmitter that sent a continuous signal for tracking purposes. Acommand receiver was used to activate a tape recorder that relayedtelescope experiment data to the telemetry transmitter. Bothtransmitters functioned normally for 19 days. The satellite was spinstabilized at 50 rpm, but telemetry data were poor because of anunsatisfactory orientation of the spin axis. The power supply for theinstrumentation was provided by mercury batteries. - Auxiliary Information - Launch Date and Time : 1959-02-17 16:05:00 Epoch Date and Time : 1959-02-17 16:48:00 Apogee (km or AU): 3320. Perigee (km or AU): 559. Inclination (degree) : 32.88 Orbit Type : Geocentric Information last updated on 1992-04-14Vanguard 3 was launched by a Vanguard rocket from the Eastern TestRange into a geocentric orbit. The objectives of the flight were tomeasure the earth's magnetic field, the solar X-ray radiation and itseffects on the earth's atmosphere, and the near-earth micrometeoroidenvironment. Instrumentation included a proton magnetometer, X-rayionization chambers, and various micrometeoroid detectors. Thespacecraft was a 50.8-cm-diameter magnesium sphere. The magnetometerwas housed in a glass fiber phenolic resin conical tube attached tothe sphere. Data transmission stopped on December 11, 1959, after 84days of operation. The data obtained provided a comprehensive surveyof the earth's magnetic field over the area covered, defined the loweredge of the Van Allen radiation belt, and provided a count ofmicrometeoroid impacts. Vanguard 3 has an expected orbital lifetimeof 300 yr. - Auxiliary Information - Launch Date and Time : 1959-09-18 05:16:00 Epoch Date and Time : 1959-09-18 14:24:00 Apogee (km or AU): 3744.

The fairing is a clamshell structure that encapsulates the satellite as it travels through the atmosphere.

In another improvement over its predecessor, the GOSAT-2 is also capable of monitoring carbon monoxide concentrations. 2020-06-24 16:15:05.0 FASTSAT-1 [Source: Mark Boudreaux, Edward Montgomery, Joseph Casas 'A Fast, Affordable, Science and Technology SATellite (FASTSAT) and the Small Satellite Market Development Environment', NASA, Huntsville, Alabama USA ]The National Aeronautics and Space Administration at Marshall Space Flight Center and the National Space Science and Technology Center in Huntsville Alabama USA, are jointly developing a new class of science and technology mission small satellites. The Fast, Affordable, Science and Technology SATellite (FASTSAT) was designed and developed using a new collaborative and best practices approach. The FASTSAT development, along with the new class of low cost vehicles currently being developed, would allow performance of ~ 30 kg payload mass missions for a cost of less than 10 million US dollars.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: FASTSAT-1 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: FASTSAT-1 Long_Name: Fast, Affordable, Science and Technology SATellite, 1 End_Group Creation_Date: 2009-10-23 Online_Resource: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&ct=res&cd=1&ved=0CAoQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fntrs.nasa.gov%2Farchive%2Fnasa%2Fcasi.ntrs.nasa.gov%2F20080036190_2008036047.pdf&ei=BgfiSsn_I5OuMPnW0bYB&usg=AFQjCNHZ6N43VBkE4WvahXScylTbIEH_jw&sig2=Q7Ps8w9mdQtbZT7JWHLgbw Online_Resource: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/19nov_fastsat.htm Online_Resource: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/smallsats/fastsat/ Group: Platform_Logistics Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2020-01-21 Seirios Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=Seirios [f21d8715-f805-427d-b006-57a5d1240d1c,826896] - ROV [da6420b6-48ec-4ae2-98c7-0ef0538815a0,826805] Date=2021-12-02 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=Seirios [f21d8715-f805-427d-b006-57a5d1240d1c,826896] - Subsurface [31eb34c8-016e-48c4-9404-7d94ee66cfde,835901] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=Seirios [f21d8715-f805-427d-b006-57a5d1240d1c,826896] - Subsurface [35f1c0af-8379-4812-a130-08d84514fc98,835899] Date=2020-01-21 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: Seirios is one of two of the remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) aboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. Much like its namesake, Seirios acts as a brilliant source of light in the “night sky” of the ocean, providing illumination and a wide-angle view from above for its counterpart ROV, the Deep Discoverer (D2). Referred to in the industry as a ‘camera sled,’ Seirios is directly tethered via a cable to the Okeanos Explorer and then is further tethered to D2. This cable provides power to the ROVs as well as a pathway for data transfer between the vehicles and the ship. This configuration allows Seirios to absorb the heave from the ship while keeping D2 stable as it explores the ocean floor and gives ROV pilots from the Global Foundation for Ocean Exploration on board the Okeanos an expanded view of D2 and surrounding areas. This tandem robot configuration allows stunning imagery to be captured for an undisturbed look at the seafloor, literally shedding light on a location’s features and inhabitants. Seirios is equipped with a scanning 360-degree sonar as well as a series of cameras, including one high-definition camera and several standard-definition cameras. Three rear-mounted LED light banks aimed forward and below the vehicle illuminate D2 from above. Seirios is also outfitted with a complement of sensors similar to those found on D2 that measure conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen, depth, and other information from the ocean and help to better characterize each of the areas that are explored.

The ENVISAT satellite is partof the International Earth Observation System (IEOS). The ENVISAT isdesigned to study Earth's resources and to contribute to the study ofland surface properties, atmospheric chemistry, aerosol distribution,ocean and ice processes, and marine biology. The ENVISAT spacecraftis based on the Polar Platform (PPF) concept and consists of a ServiceModule (SM) which provides main support functions, and amission-specific Payload Module (PLM) which provides the instrumentsand payload support functions. The Payload Module consists of thePayload Equipment Bay (PEB) and the Payload Carrier (PLC). The PayloadData Management Subsystem performs instrument and support subsystems,data processing, telecommand and telemetry management, data-buscontrol, failure management, and instrument operations timelinemanagement. Commonad and control is provided by the Payload ModuleComputer (PMC). Scientific data generated from the instruments will beprocessed by the High Speed Multiplexer (HSM) for recording ortransmission to the ground. A set of four tape recorders provide arecording speed of 2 to 4 Mbps and a capacity of 25 Gbits. Thecommunication subsystem uses an x-band link directly to the ground anda Ka-band bi-directional link via ESA's Data Relay Satellite(DRS). The Thermal Control Subsystem consists of a Heater SwitchingUnit (HSU), heaters, thermistors and thermostats. The Service Module(SM) consists of a carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) cone with alauncher interface at one end and a propulsion module at theother. The power subsystem consists of up to eight nickel-cadmiumbatteries (40 Ahr) and a modular solar array. The SM on-board datamanagement is done by the Central Computer Unit (CCU). Command andcontral are done via S-band communications direct to the ground orthrough the DRS. The Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem (AOCS)provides three-axis stabilization. Altitude measurements will beprovided by digital Sun sensors, Earth-horizon sensors and gyroscopeswhile altitude control will be provided by monopropellentthrusters. Fine pointing is accomplished through star sensors andgyroscopes, reaction wheels, and magneto-torquers.The ENVISAT consists of : (1) Advanced SAR (ASAR), (2) Global OzoneMonitoring by Occultation of Stars (GOMOS), (3) Medium Resolution ImagingSpectrometer (MERIS), (4) Michelson Interferometer for Passive AtmosphericSounding (MIPAS), (5) Radar Altimeter-2 (RA-2), (6) Advanced Along TrackScanning Radiometer (AATSR), (7) Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometerfor Atmospheric Cartography (SCIMACHY), (8) Microwave Radiometer (MWR),(9) Doppler Orbitography and Radiopositioning Integrated by Satellite(DORIS), and (10) a Laser Retroreflector (LRR) for tracking.Just weeks after celebrating its tenth year in orbit, communication with the Envisat satellite was suddenly lost on 8 April.

Objectivesincluded obtaining an accurate description of the earth's magnetic field,obtaining data for use in the update and refinement of world and regionalmagnetic charts, compilation of a global crustal magnetic anomaly map, andinterpretation of that map in terms of geologic/geophysical models of theearth's crust. The spacecraft was launched into a low, near-polar, orbit by theScout vehicle. The basic spacecraft was made up of two distinct parts: theinstrument module that contained a vector and a scalar magnetometer and theirunique supporting gear; and the base module that contained the necessarydata-handling, power, communications, command, and attitude-control subsystemsto support the instrument module. The base module complete with its subsystemswas comprised of residual Small Astronomy Satellite (SAS-C) hardware. Themagnetometers were deployed after launch to a position 6 m behind thespacecraft. At this distance, the influence of magnetic materials from theinstrument and base module (chiefly from the star cameras) was less than 1 nT. - Auxiliary Information - Launch Date and Time : 1979-10-30 14:16:00 Epoch Date and Time : 1979-10-31 Apogee (km or AU): 578.4 Perigee (km or AU): 351.9 Inclination (degree) : 96.8 Orbit Type : Geocentric Information last updated on 1992-04-13Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: MAGSAT Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: MAGSAT End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: AEM-3 End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 96.8 deg Perigee: 351.9 km Apogee: 578.4 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-20 Online_Resource: http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/M/Magsat.html Sample_Image: http://www.daviddarling.info/images/Magsat.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1979-10-30 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group CBERS-2 Date=2021-01-04 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Resource Operation=UPDATE Field=type System Note=update Resource Old Value=IMAGE New Value=image Date=2021-01-04 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=[Source: INPE CBERS home page, http://www.cbers.inpe.br/ingles/ ] CBERS-2 is technically identical to CBERS-1.

The three-axis stabilised satellite platform was designed to accommodate the four instruments, which need unobstructed and very accurately collocated views of Earth as well as unobstructed views for solar calibration of the passive instruments. The satellite design meets these challenges by employing a fully customised carbon fibre-based platform with the radar, lidar and startrackers (used for determining the satellite’s attitude) positioned as close together as possible, thereby minimising alignment errors. The satellite is dominated by the large Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) antenna, which is 2.5 m across. The long trailing solar panel at the rear gives the satellite an overall length of 19 m. The solar panel is made up of five sections and covers an area of 21 sq m and, at the satellite’s low orbital altitude, helps minimise atmospheric drag. EarthCARE will orbit Earth at an altitude of around 393 km. The altitude needs to be as low as possible to optimise the use of the lidar and radar, but not too low where atmospheric drag would impact fuel consumption and the life of the mission. Since global coverage is required, EarthCARE’s orbit is near-polar. It crosses the equator in the early afternoon, providing optimal illumination and minimal sun glint for the passive instruments. The system’s power demand is significant. The two active instruments, the Atmospheric Lidar (ATLID) and the CPR, require 2500 W.

The GOSAT mission goals call for the study of the transport mechanisms of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4).The emphasis is on atmospheric monitoring to clarify the sources and sinks of CO2 on a sub-continental scale. The overall mission objective is to contribute to environmental administration by estimating the Green House Gases (GHGs) source and sink on a sub-continental scale and to support the Kyoto protocol that was adsorbed at COP3/UNFCCC (3rd session of the conference in the framework of climate change) in 1997. The protocol calls for a reduction of greenhouse gases, in particular CO2; it requires all parties to reduce their emissions by 5% below the level of the year 1990, for the period of 2008-2012 Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GOSAT Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: GOSAT Long_Name: Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: IBUKI Short_Name: 2009-002A End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: TANSO-FTS Short_Name: TANSO-CAI End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 666 km Repeat_Cycle: 3 days Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2010-08-24 Online_Resource: http://www.gosat.nies.go.jp/index_e.html Online_Resource: http://www.jaxa.jp/projects/sat/gosat/index_e.html Online_Resource: https://data.gosat.nies.go.jp/GosatUserInterfaceGateway/guig/GuigPage/open.do Online_Resource: http://earth.esa.int/object/index.cfm?fobjectid=5096 Sample_Image: http://www.jaxa.jp/projects/sat/gosat/img/photo-1_goast.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2009-01-23 Launch_Site: Tanegashima Island, Japan Primary_Sponsor: JP/JAXA End_GroupEnd_Group GEOEYE-1 Date=2019-02-19 User Id=mmorahan Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: 992cb370-d2d0-4a9f-a4d4-179f140f505a relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2019-02-19 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Resource Operation=UPDATE Field=type System Note=update Resource Old Value=IMAGE New Value=image Date=2020-10-06 User Id=mmorahan Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: GeoEye-1 language code: en GeoEye-1, formerly known as OrbView-5, is the next-generation high-resolution imaging mission of GeoEye, Dulles, VA, USA. In January 2006, the commercial imaging company GeoEye was formed, made up of former Orbimage of Dulles VA, and of former Space Imaging of Thornton, CO (Orbimage acquired Space Imaging in 2005 and gave the merged company the new name of GeoEye). The newly formed GeoEye company is the world's largest commercial satellite imagery provider.On Sept. 30, 2004, OrbImage was awarded a NextView vendor contract of NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency). The contract, referred to as NextView OrbImage, provides long-term revenue commitments as well as capital for the development of OrbView-5. NGA's NextView program is designed to give US commercial imaging satellite operators the financing to build their satellites for high-resolution imaging.GeoEye's principal partners for the development and launch of the GeoEye-1 satellite include General Dynamics (formerly Spectrum Astro), ITT Industries (imager), and Boeing Launch Services. GeoEye's partners for the ground segment include IBM and MDA (MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates) of Richmond, BC, Canada.he GeoEye-1 spacecraft is being designed and developed at General Dynamics/C4 Systems of Gilbert, AZ (formerly Spectrum Astro) as prime contractor. The contract was award in Dec. 2004. The spacecraft design is based on the SA-200HP standard modular bus (of Coriolis and SWIFT heritage). The spacecraft is 3-axis stabilized with a sophisticated attitude control system to provide a highly stable, while also highly agile imaging platform.A body-pointing capability of up to ± 60º is being provided, made possible by enhanced reaction wheels (low jitter). The image geolocation accuracy is ≤ 3 m. The spacecraft mass is 1955 kg (bus mass = 1260 kg), the S/C design is fully redundant with an operational life of 7 years (the expected life is 10 years).Orbit: Sun-synchronous circular orbit, altitude = 684 km, inclination = 98º, period = 98 minutes, local equatorial crossing at 10:30 hours, effective revisit time capability ≤ 3 days.Launch: A launch of GeoEye-1 is scheduled for August 2008 on a Delta-2 (7420-10) vehicle from VAFB, CA. The launch provider is ULA (United Launch Alliance). The launch delay from the fall of 2007 is due to a launch congestion at VAFB.RF communications: The source data are being stored on solid-state onboard recorders of 1.2 Tbit capacity. The downlink of imagery in X-band at 740 Mbit/s (or at 150 Mbit/s), the TT&C data are in S-band. The S/C is being operated from the command and control facility at GeoEye headquarters in Dulles, VA, along with an imagery acquisition station. Three other acquisition stations will be operated or leased by GeoEye in Barrow, AK, Tromsø, Norway and Troll, Antarctica (the TrollSat station is located at 72º S and 2º E). The latter two stations are being leased from KSAT (Kongsberg Satellite Services) of Tromsø, Norway.A total of four stations are needed to handle primary data reception due to the large volume of data that will be captured by the satellite. In addition, GeoEye will continue to support a network of receiving stations owned and operated by local business partners, referred to as Regional Affiliates and Regional Distributors.Ground segment: GeoEye has built a fully integrated receiving, processing, and distribution network for delivering high-quality imagery products to customers around the world.In late 2006, GeoEye purchased high-bandwidth, high-performance compute technology from SGI (Silicon Graphics Inc.). Four SGI Altix systems were installed at the Dulles (VA) ground station for data processing, distribution, and archiving services.Sensor complement: (GIS)The requirements of GeoEye-1 call for panchromatic imagery with a resolution of 0.41 m and multispectral imagery with a resolution of 1.64 m. The imager is being designed and developed by ITT Space Systems Division, formerly Kodak Remote Sensing Systems of Rochester, New York, which built also the sensor for Ikonos-2 (launch April 27, 1999). In January 2007, the GeoEye-1 imager system was delivered to General Dynamics for integration into the spacecraft.GIS (GeoEye Imager System). GIS is a pushbroom imaging system whose basic elements are the optics subsystem (telescope assembly), the focal plane assembly (CCD detector), and the digital electronics subsystem. The optics subsystem employs a TMA (Three Mirror Anastigmatic) telescope design with a primary mirror aperture of 1.1 m in diameter. Three mirrors are used to image and focus the light, and two additional mirrors to direct the image to the FPA (Focal Plane Assembly). The telescope is designed to give a near-perfect (diffraction limited) image to the FPA and to convert the analog pixels into digitized signals.The FPA consists of an array of CCD detectors with 8 µm pixel size for PAN and 32 µm pixel size for multispectral imagery. ITT has included an outer barrel and door assembly to help protect the telescope and maintain its thermal environment.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GEOEYE-1 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: GEOEYE-1 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: ORBVIEW-5 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: CCD IMAGER End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 684 km Orbit_Inclination: 98 degrees Equator_Crossing: 10:30 AM Period: 98 minutes Repeat_Cycle: 3 days Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-06-27 Online_Resource: http://launch.geoeye.com/LaunchSite/about/fact_sheet.aspx Online_Resource: http://directory.eoportal.org/get_announce.php?an_id=13708 Sample_Image: http://launch.geoeye.com/LaunchSite/assets/images/about/satellite.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2008-08-22 Design_Life: 10 YEARS Primary_Sponsor: US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency End_GroupEnd_Group 2020-10-06 08:16:06.0 2018-07-19 LARES Date=2018-07-19 User Id=sritz Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=LARES [ef053df7-ff76-47f3-a335-5d4e87e51b92,367855] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,344761] Date=2018-07-19 User Id=sritz Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: LAser Relativity Satellite language code: en Date=2018-07-19 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: LARES is a small space mission that will achieve important measurements in gravitational physics, General Relativity, space geodesy and geodynamics In particular, together with the LAGEOS and LAGEOS 2 satellites and with the GRACE models, it will provide a very accurate determination of the Earth gravitomagnetic field and of the Lense-Thirring effect.

Check back soon for our impressions of the first dive of the cruise. We’ll be diving at Richardson Hills and are expecting to see some spectacular coral habitats! Jason is an ROV system designed and built by WHOI’s National Deep Submergence Laboratory and funded by the National Science Foundation. Its design gives scientists access to most of the globe’s seafloor, often for days at a time, without leaving the deck of a ship. The vehicle can operate as either a two-body (with ROV Medea) or a single-body system, depending on mission requirements. A 10-kilometer (6-mile) reinforced fiber-optic cable delivers electrical power and control signals from the ship to the vehicle and returns data and live video imagery throughout a dive. When Medea is used, it acts as a “shock absorber” shielding Jason from the movement of the ship and cable. For the DEEP SEARCH mission, Jason will be operated in single-body mode with a series of floats attached to the cable to dampen the influence of the surface swell. Jason is equipped with sonars, video and still imaging systems, lighting, and a flexible payload of sensors and sampling systems. The vehicle’s manipulator arms collect samples just by picking them up, or by deploying sampling gear provided by the science team, such as push cores and mussel pots. The samples are then placed in the vehicle’s basket or on “elevator” platforms that float samples to the surface, permitting Jason to stay submerged for as much as a week at a time. language code: en Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=Jason [74995db1-1047-4e0b-b0c9-b4b9f7bdd6b6,826380] - Subsurface [31eb34c8-016e-48c4-9404-7d94ee66cfde,835901] In advance of DEEP SEARCH 2019’s first remotely operated vehicle (ROV) dive today, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) has shared the following overview about ROV Jason.

At present, the elevation models that are available for large parts of Earth are of low resolution, inconsistent or incomplete. In addition, they are commonly based on different data sources and survey methods. TanDEM-X, TerraSAR-X add-on for Digital Elevation Measurement, is designed to close these gaps and deliver a homogenous elevation model that should prove indispensable for many scientific and commercial applications. Orbiting Earth at an altitude of around 500 kilometres, the two nearly-identical radar satellites have begun mapping its surface. The first of the two, TerraSAR-X, has been operating since 2007. Three years years on, it has been joined by its twin satellite, TanDEM-X. Flying in close formation only a few hundred metres apart, the two satellites are imaging the terrain below them simultaneously, from different angles. These images are processed into accurate elevation maps with a 12-metre resolution and a vertical accuracy better than 2 metres. The amount of data generated by the satellites will grow to 1.5 petabytes within three years, corresponding to a storage capacity of almost 200,000 DVDs.

The TanDEM-X mission The TanDEM-X mission will survey all 150 million square kilometres of Earth's land surface several times over during its three-year mission. Apart from its high measuring-point density (a 12-metre grid) and high vertical accuracy (better than two metres), the elevation model generated by TanDEM-X will have another unrivalled advantage – being entirely homogenous, it will serve as a basis for maps that are globally consistent. Conventional maps are often fragmented along national borders, or difficult to reconcile as they are based on different survey methods or because of time lags between survey campaigns. Together TanDEM-X and TerraSAR-X are form the first configurable synthetic aperture radar interferometer in space. Besides this primary goal, the mission has several secondary objectives based on new and innovative methods such as along-track interferometry, polarimetric synthetic aperture radar interferometry, digital beamforming and bistatic radar. The TanDEM-X satellite follows the TerraSAR-X design with minor modifications such as an additional cold gas propulsion system (powered by high-pressure nitrogen gas) to enable fine-tuning of its relative position during formation flying and an additional S-band receiver to receive status and position information sent by TerraSAR-X. The TanDEM-X satellite has been designed for a nominal lifetime of five years and has a planned overlap with TerraSAR-X of three years.

The Pleiades system is an optical observation system with a metric resolution designed to offer a high acquisition capability with a revisit lower than 24 hours to satisfy both civilian and military needs. Moreover, to meet the needs for detailed mapping, especially in urban areas and to complement aerial photography, Pleiades will offer instantaneous stereoscopic acquisition and the capability to cover large areas. For applications such as forestry, geology and marine environment, and using its spectral characteristics and its tree-dimensional characterization of surfaces, Pleiades should complete the information supplied by other sensors, such as Spot 5, by offering information with a better spatial resolution. Lastly, to meet the defence and civil security missions, the Pleiades system is expected to: Supply the information in a very short time-frame (usually less than 24 hours). Ensure to defence users a priority in the daily programming of the 50 acquisition requests. Ensure to defence users the confidentiality of their requests and communications. Enable priority acquisitions on a predefined area with a "crisis" mode implementation. For this, the Pleiades system is constituted of a constellation of two optical satellites (visible and near infrared domain) on a Sun-synchronous orbit at 694 km. This number of satellites is essential to guarantee the accessibility and revisit frequency required to operationally answer to defence and civil security missions. With its two agile satellites, the Pleiades system will offer: a daily access to every point on Earth, a resolution of 0.7 m in vertical viewing in panchromatic, four spectral bands (blue, green, red and near infrared) with a resolution of 2.8 m in vertical viewing, a field of view of 20 km, an acquisition of a 120 km x 120 km image mosaic in the same orbit, the acquisition of nearly instantaneous stereoscopic couples (or even triplet) of 20 km by 300 km, the acquisition of cloud free images covering 2 500 000 km² per year, a very accurate localization of the images (<1 m with ground control points) enabling an optimal use of the data in the Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Moreover, the great agility of the satellites will enable to minimize the programming conflicts, particularly during the dual use, and to better meet the users' needs. language code: en Date=2015-12-08 User Id=mpmorahan Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=PLEIADES [516a9bb2-0171-4ad2-8d4f-3f7d1219d393,158543] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,143415] Pleiades is the optical component of the ORFEO system developed in cooperation with Italy.The Pleiades system is an optical observation system with a metric resolution designed to offer a high acquisition capability with a revisit lower than 24 hours to satisfy both civilian and military needs.Moreover, to meet the needs for detailed mapping, especially in urban areas and to complement aerial photography, Pleiades will offer instantaneous stereoscopic acquisition and the capability to cover large areas.For applications such as forestry, geology and marine environment, and using its spectral characteristics and its tree-dimensional characterization of surfaces, Pleiades should complete the information supplied by other sensors, such as Spot 5, by offering information with a better spatial resolution.Lastly, to meet the defence and civil security missions, the Pleiades system is expected to:Supply the information in a very short time-frame (usually less than 24 hours).Ensure to defence users a priority in the daily programming of the 50 acquisition requests.Ensure to defence users the confidentiality of their requests and communications.Enable priority acquisitions on a predefined area with a 'crisis' mode implementation.For this, the Pleiades system is constituted of a constellation of two optical satellites (visible and near infrared domain) on a Sun-synchronous orbit at 694 km.

It was designed and developed in a collaborative effort between the Malaysian government, under the government appointed company ATSB \[Astronautic Technology (Malaysia) Sdn. Bdh.\] of Kuala Lumpur, and SSTL (Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.) of Surrey, UK. In the view of the Malaysian government, the satellite development program was seen as an impetus for expanding Malaysia's capability in the area of high-technology industry. The first satellite was named 'Tiung' after a beautiful small singing bird in Malaysia. Astronautic Technology Sdn. Bhd. (ATSB) is a research and development organization, which was formed in 1995 by the government of Malaysia. The TiungSat-1 specific applications are in the following fields:* Collection of imagery for environmental and meteorological use* Digital S&F (Store & Forward) communications* Technology demonstration* Space science* Amateur radio accessSpacecraft:The TiungSat-1 S/C structure comprises eleven module trays used to house the electronics for the bus and payload systems. The box-like spacecraft has a size of 690 mm x 360 mm x 360 mm; it is three-axis stabilized using a gravity-gradient boom (6 m boom with tip mass), two 3-axis magnetorquers, and a momentum wheel. Attitude is sensed by two 3-axis magnetometers and by two-axis analog sun sensors. In addition, there are UED (Underneath Earth Detector) and SOD (Sun Overhead Detector). The pointing knowledge is in roll and pitch and in yaw (3 sigma values). The S/C power is 35 W per panel, provided by four surface-mounted GaAs solar panels and by a 10-cell NiCd battery (7 Ah). The power subsystem provides regulated voltage supplies at +5V and 10V along with an unregulated supply which fluctuates between 12-14 V. Autonomous functions, safe modes and data are handled by two OBCs (On-Board Computer), OBC-186 and OBC-386. Onboard data handling via a CAN (Controller Area Network) between platform and payloads. The onboard data storage capacity is 1 Gbit. The S/C mass is 50 kg (platform = 35 kg, payload = 15 kg). The nominal design life is three years.RF communications: TiungSat uses conventional AMSAT frequencies (Malaysian Oscar-46), thereby giving amateur radio operators access to its data (imagery and communication capabilities). The microsatellite features an AX.25 protocol store-and-forward PACSAT protocol suite communications system. The uplink is in VHF-band with a data rate of 9.6 kbit/s; three receivers are used: Rx1 operates at 144.46 MHz, Rx2 and Rx3 operate at 145.86 145.925 MHz, selectable. The downlink is dual-redundant in UHF-band (435 to 438 MHz range with 437.300, 437.325, 437.350, 437.375 MHz, selectable) with data rates of 9.6, and 38.4 kbit/s (experimentally at 76.8 kit/s). An error-protected digital packet communications protocol is used. All spacecraft operations are performed at ATSB in Kuala Lumpur.TiungSat-1 was launched Sept. 26, 2000 on a Dnepr-1 vehicle along with other satellites (the other payloads were: SaudiSat-1A/-1B of SISR (Saudi Institute for Space Research), UniSat of the University of Rome, and MegSat-1 of the MegSat Space Division of 'Gruppo Meggiorin,' Bresia, Italy) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.Orbit: Circular orbit, altitude = 650 km, inclination = 64, period = 97 minutes.Spacecraft operations are carried out at ATSB's Mission Control Station located at the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, Bangi, Selangor. The satellite has also been used in a number of educational activities ranging from the physical sciences to the humanities.Operational status of TiungSat-1 as of 2004: The payload was fully operational well beyond its design life of three years. However, since Jan. 2004, the payload is only being operated intermittently to reduce the power consumption of the battery.Sensor/experiment complement (MSEIS, MEIS, S&F, CEDEX):MSEIS (Multi-Spectral Earth Imaging System). MSEIS is a NAC (Narrow Angle Camera), a multispectral system of three cameras (green, red and near-infrared) in parallel, each with a 75 mm focal length optic and 100 mm aperture diameter. The NAC system provides a 78 m ground spatial resolution in three spectral bands: 510-590 nm, 610-690 nm and 810-890 nm (green, red, and near infrared). A two-dimensional CCD staring array detector with 1024 x 1024 pixels is used providing snapshot imagery of scene size 78 km x 78 km. Up to four contiguous images can be collected along the flight path. The data are digitized to 8 bits radiometric resolution (256 levels).MEIS (Metrological Earth Imaging System). MEIS is a single-band WAC (Wide Angle Camera) system with 6.5 mm focal length optics. It provides NIR imagery (810-890 nm) with a 900 m spatial resolution. The CCD area array detector has a size of 1024 x 1024 elements (pixels) for snapshot observations. Data are quantized to 8 bits radiometric resolution. An image has the size of 900 km x 900 km. The data is being used for meteorological applications.S&F (Digital Store & Forward Communications). The subsystem provides global, frequency-agile, communications for any form of digitized data: e-mail, voice-mail, scientific data exchange, fax, imagery, or even Internet mail for remote regions. The low cost and direct access offered by the TiungSat-1 microsatellite in orbit also makes it ideal for use by scientists, engineers and students based in institutes, universities and even schools throughout the world. - DSPE (Digital Signal Processing Experiment). The DSPE consists of a TM320C31 low power DSP suitable for special or general purpose signal processing tasks on LEO satellites. The VHF scanner operates in the 140-150 MHz range. A built-in FSK decoder is used. The system is capable to detect signals from a pre-set signal strength threshold within selected bar. DSP can be used for processing audio transmission for rebroadcast.CEDEX (Cosmic Ray Energy Deposition Experiment). The objective of CEDEX is to characterize the TiungSat-1 orbit radiation environment in terms of the observed particle LET (Linear Energy Transfer) spectrum at the spacecraft. The primary sensor consists of a 30mm x 30mm PIN diode detector 300 microns in depth, housed in a separate screened aluminium unit mounted on the CEDEX module box (three area PIN-diode detectors are mounted in a 'telescopic' arrangement; hence, information pertaining to directions of the energy particles detected can be derived.). This is connected to a charge amplifier and a pulse-shaping circuit which, in turn, are connected to an event-driven, hardware-logic controlled pulse-height multi-channel analyzer. CEDEX is controlled autonomously by a CAN-microcontroller with its own data-storage RAM and built-in data-compression software. This sends data to an internal CAN-controller which formats and sends them on to the primary OBC via the spacecraft's CAN (Controlled Area Network) bus. CEDEX is a multichannel analyzer with 512 channels and a 0.5 pC (picocoulomb) charge resolution. The instrument charge range is between 0.2 -24 pC, equivalent to a normal incidence particle LET range of about 60 - 7500 MeV cm2 g-1 (200,000 particles/s).The CEDEX data obtained are comparable directly with such instruments as CREDO-II flown on STRV-1c (launch Nov. 16, 2000) and CRE (Cosmic Ray Experiment) flown on KitSat-1 (launch Aug. 10, 1992) and PoSat-1 (launch Sept. 26, 1993).Experimental Microsatellite GPS, an SSTL/ESA collaboration. An advanced 12-channel GPS receiver with two GPS patch antennas is installed for several objectives: 1) onboard generation of Keplerian orbital elements (NORAD experiment, this was first performed on PoSat), 2) onboard navigation, attitude, and timing services, and 3) refractive sounding of the ionosphere. The instrument is primarily used for orbit and position determination and for precise onboard timing services. In parallel, the instrument is also employed for refractive ionospheric monitoring. The TEC (Total Electron Content) occultation observations of the instrument provide slant range measurements which can be converted into vertical profiles.

But as we all know, many good things come in small packages. Little Herc came to the Okeanos Explorer through collaboration between NOAA’s Office of Ocean Exploration and Research and Dr. Robert Ballard’s Institute for Exploration (IFE) at the University of Rhode Island (URI). With a major commitment to explore the waters off Indonesia, our Program’s much larger ROV could not be readied in time for our 2010 sailing date. As a result, Little Herc was chosen as our stand-in. Originally developed by a team of engineers at IFE, Little Herc first came into the spotlight when he gave the world the first and only images of John Kennedy’s PT Boat; PT-109. After several other successful missions for IFE, Little Herc stepped down, taking a back seat to the now much larger and spectacular, “Hercules”. After doing a short stint as an exhibit piece in the Mystic Aquarium, a proposal by the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration has given new life to the veteran “Explorer”. Through a Joint Project Agreement (JPA) between NOAA, IFE and URI, a team of engineers from several institutions and companies once again went to work, this time recommissioning Little Herc. In a field where technology advances rapidly, it was necessary and appropriate that Little Herc receive a substantial upgrade before joining the ship. After an extensive 4 month overhaul, Little Herc boasted a new motor controller and power bottle system, an upgraded fiber optic multiplexer system, a new Ultra Short Baseline Tracking System (USBL), a full color imaging sonar, a new Conductivity-Temperature-Depth (CTD) sensor, two new single chip color CCD cameras, two new LED lights, two 400watt HMI Lights and a spectacular High Definition video camera. New tethers, new tether terminations, a new transformer, a new electrical junction box, new depth and altitude sensors, a new light bar and a new version of control software to make it all work was in order. Tested at the University of New Hampshire’s Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping prior to arrival in Hawaii for field trails, Little Herc has now come full circle. Today, the beautiful images you are seeing are once again, Little Herc’s major contribution. Made possible by the generous support of our partners and engineers, Little Herc is back. Diving deeper, shining brighter and taking higher resolution imagery than ever before!

The TSRC (Tsinghua Space Research Center) was set up in Oct. 1998 with the goal to integrate all space research activities at Tsinghua University and to provide a means and facilities for S/C building. The joint-venture company in Beijing is referred to as T-SSSC (Tsinghua-Surrey Small Satellite Company). The cooperative program is to develop and build microsatellites (Tsinghua-1) and nanosatellites (THNS-1) and to provide integrated training in small satellite design.Tsinghua-1 (also referred to as 'Hangtian' in Chinese) is a demonstrator microsatellite in the 50 kg class of size: 35 cm x 35 cm x 64 cm. The overall objective is to provide daily high-resolution imaging for disaster monitoring and mitigation on a worldwide scale. A further goal of Tsinghua-1 is to conduct communications research in LEO. The design uses the new MicroSat-70 platform modules or trays to carry the subsystems and payload. The power subsystem design includes the regulation, protection and distribution of a 35 W solar array and 7 Ah NiCd batteries. This subsystem essentially offers two buses: an unregulated 14 V bus and a regulated 5 V bus. The three payload modules include the GPS receiver (SGR-10 with 12 channels), transputer, and DSP/DTE (Digital Signal Processing/Data Transfer Experiment) unit. The three cameras and 3 reaction wheels are accommodated in the Earth Observation Compartment. Two GPS antennas are accommodated on the space facing side of the S/C.The spacecraft is three-axis stabilized using a combination of passive (gravity-gradient boom) and active (magnetorquers, reaction wheels) actuator elements. The platform is nadir pointing. Attitude is sensed by sun sensors and a magnetometer. The body-pointing platform has the capability to perform fast slew maneuvers within 15 about the roll axis (or 180 about the yaw axis). An off-nadir pointing configuration can be sustained for up to half an orbit. Onboard data handling is provided with a dual CAN (Controller Area Network) bus (ISO 11898 & ISO 11519-1) 20 Mbit/s, and INMOS serial point-to-point link 9.6 kbit/s asynchronous duplex UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter).A launch of Tsinghua-1, along with SNAP-1 of SSTL as secondary payloads to Nadezhda-6, the prime Russian S&RSAT (Search & Rescue Satellite) of COSPAS, took place on June 28, 2000 on a Russian Cosmos-3M launcher from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia.Orbit: Sun-synchronous circular orbit, altitude = 700 km, inclination = 98, period of 100 minutes.Status of Tsinghua-1 mission: The spacecraft is operational as of 2004. Sensor complement:MEIS (Multispectral Earth Imaging System).MEIS is a demonstrator instrument intended for the upcoming DMC (Disaster Monitoring Constellation) mission. The objective is to acquire multispectral Earth surface imagery with a spatial resolution of 40 m (snapshot imagery). The MEIS camera assembly consists of three cameras (one for each spectral band) mounted at an angle of 15 from nadir so that the yaw angle can be selected to offer the required off-pointing angle of 15 from nadir. The image swath width is 80 km and each camera can collect four images contiguously along the flight path. The instrument performs autonomous onboard histogram analysis to ensure optimum image quality involving image processing, compression and onboard storage. The OBCs may also be used to carry out autonomous onboard cloud editing and high-compression thumb-nail image previews.SGR-10 (Space GPS Receiver-10). The objective is real-time positioning for tracking the satellite and providing orbital elements for the spacecraft mission and ground station. SGR is a customized COTS-developed receiver. The instrument is based on the second generation GPS chip set of MITEL Semiconductors. The SGR consists of the following elements: GPS antennas, LNAs, the RF section, the digital section and the TLM/TC node. RF section: The SGR has two separate RF front-ends in the RF section which are responsible for down-converting the GPS signals and digitizing the IF signals. The RF sections use the same local oscillator so that the measurements are referenced to the same fundamental TCXO clock.Digital section: This part consists of hardware correlator channels, memory, a 32 bit RISC microprocessor with supporting peripherals and the interface circuitry. There are 24 C/A code correlation channels available, although only 12 channels are available if only 2 antennas are used.TLM/TC node: A separate 8 bit microcontroller is used to provide telemetry and telecommands. The telemetry includes status monitoring of SGR, while telecommand include reset, power down parts of the receiver, some redundancy switching etc.The SGR-10 receives the L1 signal from the GPS constellation. The total SGR mass is 1.355 kg, including antenna/LNA. The accuracy of positioning, velocity and time synchronization (under Selective Availability on GPS) are: 150 m, 1 m/s, 3-D, 2 sigma approximately, and + 1 s, respectively.

QuikSCAT was initiated as a "quick recovery" mission to help reduce the ocean-wind vector data gap created by the loss of the NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) on the Japanese Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS), which ceased functioning when ADEOS failed on June 30, 1997. QuikSCAT was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., aboard a Titan II vehicle, reducing the data gap by about one-half. QuikSCAT operates in a near polar orbit. It flies in a circular orbit at an altitude of approximately 800 km (500 miles) above Earth's surface. It completes a full orbit in about 101 minutes, which translates to a little more than 14 orbits per day. SeaWinds is the main instrument on the QuikSCAT satellite. SeaWinds is an active radar scatterometer. This scatterometer operates by transmitting high-frequency microwave pulses to the ocean surface and measuring the echoed radar pulses bounced back to the satellite. The scatterometer estimates wind speed and direction over the Earth's oceans at 10 m above the surface of the water. The instrument collects data over ocean, land, and ice in a continuous, 1,800-kilometer-wide band, making approximately 400,000 measurements and covering 90% of Earth's surface in one day. QuikSCAT can acquire hundreds of times more observations of surface wind velocity each day than can ships and buoys, and can provide continuous, accurate and high-resolution measurements of both wind speeds and direction regardless of weather conditions. This data is vital for global climate research, operational weather forecasting, and storm warning. The SeaWinds scatterometer is providing unprecedented, frequent surface wind speed and direction measurements over the global oceans. Coupled with other satellite measurements of cloud patterns, water vapor and rain, the data are contributing to scientists' ability to predict the intensity, location and movements of hurricanes and other severe marine weather patterns.

QuikSCAT was initiated as a "quick recovery" mission to help reduce the ocean-wind vector data gap created by the loss of the NASA Scatterometer (NSCAT) on the Japanese Advanced Earth Observing Satellite (ADEOS), which ceased functioning when ADEOS failed on June 30, 1997. QuikSCAT was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., aboard a Titan II vehicle, reducing the data gap by about one-half. QuikSCAT operates in a near polar orbit. It flies in a circular orbit at an altitude of approximately 800 km (500 miles) above Earth's surface. It completes a full orbit in about 101 minutes, which translates to a little more than 14 orbits per day. SeaWinds is the main instrument on the QuikSCAT satellite. SeaWinds is an active radar scatterometer. This scatterometer operates by transmitting high-frequency microwave pulses to the ocean surface and measuring the echoed radar pulses bounced back to the satellite. The scatterometer estimates wind speed and direction over the Earth's oceans at 10 m above the surface of the water. The instrument collects data over ocean, land, and ice in a continuous, 1,800-kilometer-wide band, making approximately 400,000 measurements and covering 90% of Earth's surface in one day. QuikSCAT can acquire hundreds of times more observations of surface wind velocity each day than can ships and buoys, and can provide continuous, accurate and high-resolution measurements of both wind speeds and direction regardless of weather conditions. This data is vital for global climate research, operational weather forecasting, and storm warning.

Coupled with other satellite measurements of cloud patterns, water vapor and rain, the data are contributing to scientists' ability to predict the intensity, location and movements of hurricanes and other severe marine weather patterns.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: QUIKSCAT Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: QUIKSCAT Long_Name: Quick Recovery Scatterometer End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: QUIKSCAT End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: SEAWINDS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 803 km Orbit_Inclination: 98.6 degrees Equator_Crossing: 6:00 p.m. Period: 101 minutes Perigee: 804 km (499 mi) Apogee: 806 km (500 mi) Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-04-16 Online_Resource: https://winds.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/quikscat/index.cfm Online_Resource: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/quick-scatterometer-quikscat/ Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1999-06-19 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Design_Life: 3 years (exceeded) Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA End_GroupEnd_Group Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1999-06-19 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Design_Life: 3 years (exceeded) Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2020-01-31 17:13:30.0 GLORY [2011-03-04, NASA's Glory Satellite Fails To Reach Orbit] [Source: NASA Press Release 11-050, http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2011/mar/HQ_11-050_N0_Glory.html ] WASHINGTON -- NASA's Glory mission launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California Friday at 5:09:45 a.m. EST failed to reach orbit. Telemetry indicated the fairing, the protective shell atop the Taurus XL rocket, did not separate as expected about three minutes after launch. //[Source: Glory Science Home Page, http://glory.giss.nasa.gov/ ]Glory is a remote-sensing Earth-orbiting observatory designed to achieve two separate mission objectives. One is to collect data on the chemical, microphysical, and optical properties, and spatial and temporal distributions of aerosols. The other is to continue collection of total solar irradiance data for the long-term climate record.The Glory mission's scientific objectives are met by implementing two separate science instruments, one with the ability to collect polarimetric measurements along the satellite ground track within the solar reflective spectral region (0.4 to 2.4 micrometers) and one with the ability to monitor changes in sunlight incident on the Earth's atmosphere by collecting high accuracy, high precision measurements of total solar irradiance. Glory accomplishes these objectives by deploying two instruments aboard a low earth orbit satellite, the Aerosol Polarimetry Sensor (APS) and the Total Irradiance Monitor (TIM). Additionally, a cloud camera system will provide images that allow the APS scans along the spacecraft ground track to be put into spatial context and to facilitate determination of cloud occurrence within the APS instantaneous field of view.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GLORY Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: GLORY End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: TIM Short_Name: CC GLORY Short_Name: APS GLORY End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 705 km +/- 30 km Orbit_Inclination: 98.2 Degrees +/- 0.15 Degrees Equator_Crossing: 1:35 p.m. Period: 99 Minutes Repeat_Cycle: 16 Days Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-09 Online_Resource: http://glory.giss.nasa.gov/ Online_Resource: http://glory.gsfc.nasa.gov/ Sample_Image: http://glory.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/gloryinorbit-s.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2011-03-04 Launch_Site: VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, USA Design_Life: + 3 years; 5 year goal Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2025-01-17 HotSat-1 Date=2025-01-17 User Id=mmorahan Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=HotSat-1 [c5011ce7-f1a0-4a6c-924d-ca1c51d0c393,1966525] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,1956038] Date=2025-01-22 User Id=mmorahan Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: HotSat-1 language code: en Date=2025-01-22 User Id=mmorahan Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: 8b23a6ab-24bf-40af-a46b-1a77234af4c6 relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2025-01-17 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: HotSat-1, launched in June 2023, (and operational until December 2023) is a cutting-edge satellite developed by British company Satellite Vu (SatVu). The satellite is the first of its kind to offer commercially available high-resolution thermal infrared imaging of Earth. It is designed to track heat variations from industries, infrastructure and other assets, providing valuable insights into energy efficiency, environmental monitoring, and the impacts of climate change The satellite's primary mission is to collect the highest resolution thermal data from space for a safer and more sustainable Earth. The images captured by SatVu’s first satellite, HotSat-1, show heat variations across the surface of the earth at a resolution of up to 3.5 m, both during the day and at night. Thermal data at this unparalleled resolution has wide applications, from economic monitoring and national security to climate resilience including urban heat monitoring. HotSat-1 is the first in a planned constellation of nine satellites which SatVu has envisaged for consistent monitoring of thermal emissions on Earth. After suffering a technical anomaly in December 2023, the satellite ceased operating. However, the second and third satellites of the constellation are planned for launch in the upcoming year. Until ceasing operation, HotSat-1 was able to image the same location every 1-2 days while orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 500 km. The satellite communicated with a global network of ground stations to receive tasking requests and deliver data, with a downlink speed of 450 Mbps. Applicants will be given access to SatVu’s self-service platform which allows users to browse their existing data catalogue. The data can be downloaded on a scene-by-scene basis, with each scene covering an area of 16 km2 (3.5km x 4.5km). The files are delivered as cloud-optimised GeoTIFFs of, on average, 10 MB and are accompanied by metadata following the STAC specification. HotSat-1 Mission Parameters: Orbit Type: Sun synchronous Orbit Altitude: 500 km Ascending Node: 00:39 Spacecraft Weight: 130 kg Swath (Standard Scene Size): 4.5 km (across-track) x 3.5 km (along-track) Orbit Off-Nadir Angle (ONA): 0-45° Ground Sampling Distance (GSD): 3.5 m (nadir) to 6.8 m (45° ONA) Spectral Band: Night: 3.7-5 μm Day: 4.5-5 μm Revisit Frequency (40° latitude): 1 day (45° max. ONA) to 2 days (30° max ONA) Sensor Sensitivity: < 2 K Capacity: 200 scenes per day Dynamic Range: 16 bit Georeferencing Accuracy: 30 m CE90 without ground control Objectives: The primary objectives of HotSat-1 are to provide high-resolution thermal infrared imaging of the Earth. The satellite aims to monitor heat variations from industry and infrastructure to support activity monitoring, security intelligence, and climate impact analysis. The satellite's frequent revisits to the same location allowed for near daily data collection, aiding in applications such as industrial activity monitoring and energy management. The data is intended to help identify areas of energy loss, monitor industrial activity, and support various sectors in managing environmental and energy-related challenges. Instruments: HotSat-1 uses a MWIR (Mid Wave InfraRed) imaging sensor that captures heat emissions from the Earth's surface. The instrument was designed and supplied by the Italian company Leonardo and has an array of pixels on an 8 μm pitch – the smallest thermal MWIR pixels commercially available at the time of development. Each scene is captured with a ground sampling distance (GSD) of between 3.5 metres and 6.8 metres depending on the imaging angle. Specifically, the sensor measures the intensity of this radiation to determine temperature differences as small as 2°C or better. Two modes are possible which allow for both daytime and nighttime image capture. At night, the sensor is sensitive to radiation in the range 3.7-5 μm; during daylight hours, a filter is applied to reduce noise from reflected solar radiation, giving a range of 4.5-5 μm for daytime imaging. language code: en HotSat-1, launched in June 2023, (and operational until December 2023) is a cutting-edge satellite developed by British company Satellite Vu (SatVu).The satellite is the first of its kind to offer commercially available high-resolution thermal infrared imaging of Earth.

This will allow us todetect besides the spatial variations of both fields also their variabilitywith time. The CHAMP mission will open a new era in geopotential research andwill become a significant contributor to the Decade of Geopotentials. It willperform the following three tasks: 1) Mapping of the Earth's global long tomedium wavelength gravity field and temporal variations with applications inthe geophysics, geodesy and oceanography; 2) Mapping of the Earth's globalmagnetic field and temporal variations with applications in geophysics andsolar terrestrial physics; 3) Atmosphere/ionosphere sounding with applicationsin global climate studies, weather forecasting, disaster research andnavigation.CHAMP-derived data will serve as an ideal basis for a further refinement ofmodern satellite surveying methods and constructing digital terrain modelscovering large land and ice areas for remote sensing applications and forcartography. The evaluation of all three kinds of signals CHAMP will beobserving will allow a complete and integrated modeling of the structure anddynamics of the Earth core and mantle. Such an improvement will stronglyenhance studies concerning the structure and composition of the Earth'sinterior and will open new insights and application areas in geodesy, solidEarth physics and oceanography.Launch: Launched: July 15, 2000Launch Site: Plesetzk, RussiaOrbit: Altitude: 450 km and circularInclination: 87.27Period: 94 minutesNon-Sun-SynchronousVital Statistics: Weight: 500 kgPower: 167 wattsDesign Life: 5 yearsInstruments: LRR (Laser Retro Reflector)OVM (Overhauser Magnetometer) and the FGM (Fluxgate Magnetometer)DIDM (Digital Ion Drift Meter)ACC (Accelerometer)GPS (Global Positioning System) ReceiverCHAMP home Page: http://op.gfz-potsdam.de/champ/[Summary provided by NASA.]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: CHAMP Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: CHAMP Long_Name: Challenging Minisatellite Payload End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: CHAMP End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: CHAMP-BLACKJACK Short_Name: MAGNETOMETERS Short_Name: FLUXGATE MAGNETOMETERS Short_Name: DIDM Short_Name: ACCELEROMETERS Short_Name: GPS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 450 km Orbit_Inclination: 87.27 Period: 94 min Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Non-Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-09-24 Online_Resource: http://op.gfz-potsdam.de/champ/ Online_Resource: http://science.nasa.gov/missions/champ/ Online_Resource: http://eospso.gsfc.nasa.gov/eos_homepage/mission_profiles/show_mission.php?id=66 Sample_Image: http://www.gfz-potsdam.de/pb1/op/champ/media_CHAMP/champ_startconf.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2000-07-15 Launch_Site: Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia Primary_Sponsor: Germany/GFZ Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA End_GroupEnd_Group RAPIDEYE Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=RAPIDEYE [439293ac-ef6a-4f4c-a578-a57d504e783a,826191] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=RAPIDEYE [439293ac-ef6a-4f4c-a578-a57d504e783a,826191] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,826121] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=RAPIDEYE [439293ac-ef6a-4f4c-a578-a57d504e783a,826191] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=RAPIDEYE [439293ac-ef6a-4f4c-a578-a57d504e783a,826191] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,826121] RapidEye is a commercial multispectral remote sensing satellite mission being designed and implemented by MDA for RapidEye AG.

Other sensors measure pressure, depth, water temperature, oxygen concentration, and salinity.As a remotely operated vehicle, Hercules is controlled (remotely) by pilots located in a mission control room aboard E/V Nautilus, who use the vehicle’s six thrusters to 'fly' the ROV in any direction. 2022-02-22 14:03:23.0 Orbiting Carbon Observatory Date=2022-03-11 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Orbiting Carbon Observatory [e57b586f-09ba-45ad-868c-4c232d6034b4,826848] - OCO-2 [6d5f222a-7750-4fd3-aa14-3c0d0059bc85,826348] Date=2022-03-11 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add narrower relation New Value=Orbiting Carbon Observatory [e57b586f-09ba-45ad-868c-4c232d6034b4,826848] - OCO-3 [da687fb4-016d-4b4d-92c2-380640ca5640,826806] Date=2021-12-02 User Id=tstevens Entity=PrefLabel Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update PrefLabel Old Value=OGO (Orbiting Geophysical Observatory) New Value=Orbiting Carbon Observatory Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=OGO (Orbiting Geophysical Observatory) [e57b586f-09ba-45ad-868c-4c232d6034b4,826848] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2022-03-11 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=Orbiting Carbon Observatory [e57b586f-09ba-45ad-868c-4c232d6034b4,826848] - OGO-3 [52dcf6a3-8b08-40a4-acb0-3c1c2fdc55cc,826249] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=OGO (Orbiting Geophysical Observatory) [e57b586f-09ba-45ad-868c-4c232d6034b4,826848] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2022-03-11 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=Orbiting Carbon Observatory [e57b586f-09ba-45ad-868c-4c232d6034b4,826848] - OGO-6 [fa5f5aff-4c2f-4613-b082-28454520544e,826925] Date=2022-03-11 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=Orbiting Carbon Observatory [e57b586f-09ba-45ad-868c-4c232d6034b4,826848] - OGO-4 [ff60d0cf-4665-40b6-b375-dd59dba896f9,826946] Date=2022-03-11 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=Orbiting Carbon Observatory [e57b586f-09ba-45ad-868c-4c232d6034b4,826848] - OGO-1 [b81f052e-9e45-4097-8189-f4c2f0572dd4,826677] Date=2022-03-11 User Id=sritz Entity=NarrowerRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete narrower relation Old Value=Orbiting Carbon Observatory [e57b586f-09ba-45ad-868c-4c232d6034b4,826848] - OGO-5 [38eefa42-2943-43d6-9186-d797d089c9df,826135] Date=2022-03-04 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: OCO is a NASA sponsored minisatellite mission selected in July 2002 within the ESSP (Earth System Science Pathfinder) program.

Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,826121] The Solar Mesosphere Explorer (SME) mission objective was primarily toinvestigate the processes that create and destroy ozone in the Earth'smesosphere and upper stratosphere. Some specific goals were (1) todetermine the nature and magnitude of changes in mesospheric ozonedensities resulting from changes in the solar ultraviolet flux; (2) todetermine the interrelationship between solar flux, ozone, and thetemperature of the upper stratosphere and mesosphere; (3) to determinethe interrelationship between ozone and water vapor; and (4) todetermine the interrelationship between nitrogen dioxide andozone. The satellite experiment complement consisted of a solarultraviolet spectrometer, an ultraviolet ozone spectrometer, aninfrared radiometer, a 1.27-micrometer spectrometer, and a nitrogendioxide spectrometer. In addition, a solar proton alarm detector wascarried on board to measure the integrated solar flux in the range 30to 500 MeV. Spin stabilized at 5 rpm, the satellite moved in a 3a.m. to 3 p.m. sun-synchronous orbit. The spacecraft body was acylinder approximately 1.7 by 1.25 m and consisted of two majormodules: the observatory module that housed the scientificinstruments, and the spacecraft bus. The spin axis was oriented normalto the orbital plane. The command system was capable of executingcommands in real time or from stored program control. Power wassupplied by a solar cell array. The telemetry system was used eitherin a real-time or in a tape-recorder mode. Further details and somemeasurement results are written in C. A. Barth et al., 'Solarmesosphere explorer: scientific objectives and results,'Geophys. Res. Lett., v. 10, no. 4, p. 237, 1983.

UARS, the first satellite dedicated to studying stratospheric science, focuses on the processes that lead to ozone depletion, complementing and amplifying the measurements of total ozone made by the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) onboard NASA's Nimbus-7 and the Russian Meteor-3 satellites. UARS also measures winds and temperatures in the stratosphere as well as the energy input from the Sun. Ten UARS instruments have provided the most complete data on upper atmospheric energy inputs, winds, and chemical composition ever gathered. Together, these observations constitute a highly integrated investigation of the nature of the upper atmosphere, and help define the role of the upper atmosphere in climate and climate variability. In its first two weeks of operation, UARS data confirmed the polar ozone-depletion theories by providing three-dimensional maps of ozone and chlorine monoxide near the South Pole during development of the 1991 ozone hole. UARS, developed and managed by GSFC, in Greenbelt, Md., provides information that nations around the world can use to guide decisions on environmental policies, according to scientists. Moreover, UARS collected data on the chemistry, dynamics, and radiative inputs to the upper atmosphere far beyond its designed lifetime, obtaining over 13 years of observations for many atmospheric constituents, temperature, winds, and external forcings. UARS was decommissioned in 2005. The United Kingdom and Canada both provided instruments for this mission. UARS is the first spacecraft launched as part of NASA's systematic, comprehensive study of the Earth system.Instruments: ISAMS (Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder)MLS (Microwave Limb Sounder)HALOE (Halogen Occultation Experiment)HRDI (High Resolution Doppler Imager)WIND II (Wind Imaging Interferometer)SOLSTICE (Solar-stellar Irradiance Comparison Experiment)SUSIM (Solar Ultraviolet Spectral Irradiance Monitor)PEM (Particle Environment Monitor)ACRIM II (Active Cavity Radiometer Irradiance Monitor)CLAES (Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer)[Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: UARS Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: UARS Long_Name: Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: CLAES Short_Name: ISAMS Short_Name: MLS Short_Name: HALOE Short_Name: HRDI Short_Name: WINDII Short_Name: SOLSTICE Short_Name: SUSIM Short_Name: PEM Short_Name: ACRIM II End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 585 km circular Orbit_Inclination: 57 deg Period: 96.7 min Perigee: 574 km (356 mi) Apogee: 582 km (361 mi) Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Non-Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-05-09 Online_Resource: http://umpgal.gsfc.nasa.gov/ Online_Resource: http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/uars/index.html Sample_Image: http://umpgal.gsfc.nasa.gov/uars-science/images/uars.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1991-09-12 Launch_Site: Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, USA Design_Life: 3 years Primary_Sponsor: NASA - Goddard Space Flight Center End_GroupEnd_Group GFZ-1 GFZ-1 (GeoForschungsZentrum-1) is a geodetic satellite designed to improve thecurrent knowledge of the Earth's gravity field. The satellite, a passive systemwith no onboard sensors or electronics, is covered with retroreflectors thatreflect laser beams sent from ground stations. By measuring the round trip timeof the transmitted light, the distance between the satellite and the stationcan be determined with approximately 1 centimeter. These measurements are usedto determine variations in the rotational characteristics of the Earth and formeasurement of the Earth's gravitational field. As the vehicle's orbit decays,the satellite's orbital motion will also be used calculate to atmosphericdensities. Deployed from the Mir space station, GFZ-1 was the first non-Russiansatellite launched from MIR. GFZ-1 was developed in under 12 months and costapproximately &#36700,000 (including design, fabrication, test, and launch).Data collection, distribution and evaluation is coor dinated by the project'sscientists at the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam.Spacecraft The satellite consists of a spherical body made from brass with 60corner cube reflectors distributed regularly over the satellite's surface.These retroreflectors are quartz prisms placed in special holders that arerecessed in the satellite's body. External metallic surfaces are covered withwhite paint for thermal control purposes and to facilitate visual observationin space. The vehicle's size was limited by the maximum allowable dimensions ofthe Mir airlock (30 cm). The vehicle carries no electronics or sensors and isnot attitude controlled.[Source: NASA Mission and Spacecraft Library]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GFZ-1 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: GFZ-1 Long_Name: GeoForschungsZentrum-1 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: GFZ-1 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: SLR End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 400 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-19 Online_Resource: http://www.gfz-potsdam.de/pb1/op/gfz1/index_GFZ1.html Sample_Image: http://www.gfz-potsdam.de/pb1/op/gfz1/GFZ1_1.small.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1995-04-09 Launch_Site: 1999-06-23 Design_Life: 3.5-5 years Primary_Sponsor: GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam End_GroupEnd_Group EXOS-A - Spacecraft Brief Description -This satellite was a part of Japan's contribution to the InternationalMagnetospheric Study. The mission objectives were to observe the auroraborealis, study aurora-related phenomena, and study the ionosphere andmagnetosphere. The main body of the spacecraft was a cylinder 0.946 m indiameter with shallow truncated cones attached at both ends. Most of thesurface was covered with solar cells that produced 35 W. Two booms of roughly1.9 m each extended outward from the equator of the main body. At the tip ofeach boom was a permanent magnet to provide alignment of the spacecraft centeraxis along the local geomagnetic field line. Two sets of circularly polarizedquadrupole antennas, one for UHF (400 MHz) and another for VHF, extended fromopposite ends of the spacecraft. The VHF antenna was diplexed for telemetry(136 MHz) and command (148 MHz). Other attitude sensors included a vectormagnetometer and a solar sensor. The spacecraft contained a tape recorder tostore 160 min of data at 512 bps or 40 min at 2048 bps, with readout in 10 minat 8192 bps. Besides the solar cells, there was a nickel-cadmium battery fornighttime operation. - Auxiliary Information - Launch Date and Time : 1978-02-04 07:00:00 Epoch Date and Time : 1978-02-06 Apogee (km or AU): 3978.

The 7,885lbs SFU spacecraft was launched by Japan's National Space Development Agency (NASDA) from Tanegashima Space Center in Japan at 8:01 UT on March 18, 1995 aboard a Japanese H-II rocket (HII-3).The STS-72 mission will also deploy (for about 50 hours) and then retrieve the Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology Flyer (OAST-Flyer) spacecraft. OAST-Flyer is the seventh in a series of missions aboard reuseable free-flying Spartan carriers. It consists of four experiments: Return Flux Experiment (REFLEX), Global Positioning System Attitude Determination and Control Experiment (GADACS), Solar Exposure to Laser Ordnance Device (SELODE) and the University of Maryland Spartan Packet Radio Experiment (SPRE).Other experiments onboard STS-72 include the Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Experiment (SSBUV-8) (previously flown on STS-34, STS-41, STS-43, STS-45, STS-56, STS-62 and STS-66), EDFT-03, Shuttle Laser Altimeter Payload (SLA-01/GAS(5)), VDA-2, National Institutes of Health NIH-R3 Experiment, Space Tissue Loss Experiment (STL/NIH-C), Pool Boiling Experiment (PBE) (hardware previously flown on STS-47, STS-57 and STS-60) and the Thermal Energy Storage (TES-2) experiment (previously flown on STS-69).Get Away Special payloads include the United States Air Force Academy G-342 Flexible Beam Experiment (FLEXBEAM-2), Society of Japanese Aerospace Companies' G-459 - Protein Crystal Growth Experiment and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory GAS Ballast Can with Sample Return Experiment.Endeavour's 10th flight also includes two 6.5 hour spacewalks by three astronauts to test hardware and tools that will be used in the assembly of the International Space Station starting in late 1997. EVA-1 on flight day five consists of Crewmembers Leroy Chiao (EV1) and Dan Barry (EV2) while EVA-2 on Flight Day 7 consists of Leroy Chiao (EV1) and Winston Scott (EV2).[Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: STS-72 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: STS-72 Long_Name: Space Transport System STS-72 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Endeavour End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 250 nm (288 statute miles) Orbit_Inclination: 28.45 degrees End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-30 Online_Resource: http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/sts-72/mission-sts-72.html Sample_Image: http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/134518main_sts-72-crew-sm.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1996-01-11 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2019-05-02 NigeriaSat-X Date=2019-05-02 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: The Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) is an international programme initially proposed in 1996 and led by SSTL (Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd) from the United Kingdom, to construct a network of five affordable Low Earth Orbit (LEO) microsatellites.

AE-D was in most respects similarto AE-C. The AE-D was launched on 1975-10-6 and decayed 1976-03-12.The purpose of the AE-D mission was a direct continuation of the EA-Cmission: to investigate the chemical and physical processes in theuppermost layer of the earth's atmosphere, the thermosphere, withemphasis on energy transfer and other controlling processes.Photochemical processes related to the absorption of solar UVradiation were studied by making coordinated measurements of reactingconstituents and the solar input in the region of high absorption ofsolar energy.The payload included instrumentation to measure: Solar UV Fluxes, theComposition of Positive Ions and Neutral Particles, the Density andTemperature of neutral particles, positive ions and electrons,Atmospheric airglow emissions, Photoelectron Energy Spectra, andProton and Electron Fluxes with particle energy up to 25 keV.This mission was planned to sample the high latitude regions at thesame time that the AE-E mission was sampling the equatorial and lowlatitude regions. The same type of spacecraft as AE-C was used, andthe payload consisted of the same types of instruments except fordeletion of the extreme solar UV monitor and the Bennett ion massspectrometer both of which were part of the AE-E payload.AE-D was placed in a high inclination (polar) orbit. The polar orbitprovided sampling of all latitudes, the perigee moved through alllatitudes in 3 months, and all local times in 4 months.Unfortunately, a failure in the solar power panels resulted in thetermination of AE-D operations on January 29, 1976, after slightlyless than 4 months of useful spacecraft life. However, all theregions at the perigee altitudes were sampled during this time. TheAE-D spacecraft re-entered the earth's atmosphere about 1 month afterthe cessation of telemetry. To continue the correlated observationswith the AE-E mission, the earlier AE-C spacecraft was thenreactivated on February 28, 1976 as replacecment for AE-D.

The satellite, primarily devoted to Earth observation, was in a highlyelliptical initial orbit with a 272 km perigee and an 148,228 km apogee. Theorbital inclination was 31.1 degrees. The satellite took 3796 minutes tocomplete one orbit. Two experiments aboard OGO-5 produced cosmic high- energyresults, although their intended target was the Sun. The spacecraft attitudecontrol failed on 6 August 1971 and it was placed in a standby mode on 8October 1971. Three experiments (none of which were related to cosmichigh-energy detection) were reactivated from 1 June to 13 July 1972. Operationof OGO 5 terminated completely on 14 July 1972.The Anderson et al. (University of California, Berkeley) Energetic Radiationsfrom Solar Flares experiment was operational from March 1968 - June 1971.Primarily devoted to solar observations, it detected at least 11 cosmic X-raybursts in time coincidence with gamma-ray bursts seen by other instruments. Thedetector was a 0.5 cm thick NaI(Tl) crystal with a 9.5 sq-cm area. Data wereaccumulated into energy ranges of: 9.6-19.2, 19.2-32, 32-48, 48-64, 64-80,80-104, 104-128, and > 128 keV. The data were sampled for 1. 15 seconds onceevery 2.3 seconds.The gamma-ray instrument on-board, sensitive to energies from 25-100 MeV, was asix gap spark chamber with an effective area of ~ 100 sq-cm. It was called theEnergetic Photons in Primary Cosmic Rays experiment (Hutchinson et al.,Southampton University). It had an angular resolution of ~ 30 degrees (FWHM).The satellite was Earth-pointing and passed regularly through the radiationbelts, which led to severe restrictions on the sky regions which could beexamined by the gamma-ray instrument. Other problems, such as an efficiencyreduction in the anti-coincidence shield and data system difficulties, severelydegraded the scientific return from the experiment. Data collection ceasedaltogether after 5 months. Gamma-ray emission from the galactic plane wasmonitored. No point sources were detected.[Summary provided by NASA.]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: OGO-5 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: OGO (Orbiting Geophysical Observatory) Short_Name: OGO-5 Long_Name: Orbiting Geophysical Observatory-5 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: OGO-E Short_Name: 03138 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: MAGNETOMETERS Short_Name: SPECTROMETERS Short_Name: GAMMA RADIATION DETECTOR End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 31.1 degrees Repeat_Cycle: 3796 minutes Perigee: 272 km Apogee: 148,228 km Orbit_Type: HEO > Highly Elliptical Orbit End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-02-13 Online_Resource: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/missions/ogo.html Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftDisplay.do?id=1968-014A Sample_Image: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/Images/ogo/ogo.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1968-03-04 Launch_Site: Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2022-03-11 15:18:42.0 2020-06-25 GHGSat-C1 Date=2020-06-25 User Id=mmorahan Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: 28a3ae40-6383-47e3-a1b8-a9f6503c5fd5 relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2020-06-25 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=reference System Note=update Definition New Value=https://www.ghgsat.com/our-platforms/iris/ https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/g/ghgsat-c1-c2 Date=2020-06-25 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: In order to expand satellite system capacity after the successful launch of its demonstration satellite, GHGSat started the design of two (2) additional high-resolution satellites in January 2017, called GHGSat-C1 ("Iris") and GHGSat-C2 ("Hugo"), respectively.

These were the first andsecond prototypes for the GOES satellite series. At this altitude itcircled the axis of the Earth once in 24 hours, making its speedsynonymous with the Earth's rotation, so that the satellite remainedessentially stationary over a given geographical point. The two SMSsatellites were employed to provide overlapping coverage that centerson the U.S. and extends over the eastern Atlantic Ocean and thewestern Pacific Ocean. The scanning system consisted of a mirror thatis stepped mechanically to provide North to South viewing, while therotation of the satellite provided West to East scanning. The mirroris stepped following each West to East scan, with each step resultingin a change in scan angle of 192 microradians, or 7 km near nadir. Asequence of 1821 scans is performed to provide a 'full disk' view fromthe Northern to the Southern Earth horizon. At the rotation rate of100 rpm, 18.21 minutes are required to complete one full North toSouth view of the Earth. The VISSR field of view provides a groundresolution of 0.9km in the visible, and 3.0km in the infrared.Entry taken from:Cornillon, P., A Guide to Environmental Satellite Data, University of RhodeIsland Marine Technical Report 79, 1982.Data Catalog Series for Space Science and Applications Flight Missions,National Space Science Data Center/World Data Center A for Rockets andSatellites, Volume 2A, September 1982.Data Catalog Series for Space Science and Applications Flight Missions,National Space Science Data Center/World Data Center A for Rockets andSatellites, Volume 4A, July 1985.Rao, P.K., S.J.

Owned and operated by Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Clelia is a PC 1204 submersible built by Perry Oceanographics in 1976 and refitted in 1992 by Harbor Branch to address the needs of the shallow water scientific community. At 23 ft long, 8 ft 3 in wide and 9 ft 7 in high, the Clelia travels at a maximum speed of 3 knots and is classed and certified to a maximum operating depth of 1,000 feet by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS). The vehicle can accommodate two scientists/observers and a pilot allowing excellent visibility through the forward acrylic hemisphere. The proximity of the occupants to the bottom (approximately 18") allows tasks to be completed in areas of low visibility. Researchers are afforded an excellent view of the ocean environment through 10 view ports. A hemispheric, 3-ft-diameter window is located at the front end of the sub. Eight 8-in diameter ports are equally spaced around the conning tower of the sub, and one upward view port is in the center of the overhead hatch. Clelia is outfitted with active sonar, still and video cameras, as well as a seven-function hydraulic manipulator equipped with a suction sampler, clam bucket scoop and jaws capable of handling bottom cores and other sampling devices. The manipulator can lift up to 150 lbs. The various collections are placed in the rotating sampler that allows for both quantitative and qualitative sampling. The Clelia is equipped with still and video cameras. Two 500-watt metal halide lights, ideal for photography, can illuminate an area to near-daylight conditions. The highly maneuverable submersible is ideally suited for multiple short dives as well as longer duration, more complex dives. The Clelia can be balanced midwater to absolutely neutral buoyancy, providing an extremely stable platform from which to observe, collect samples and shoot photographs and video. Typical applications include benthic and/or mid-water observations, photo/video documentation and collection of organisms; dump site inspections and monitoring; punch and box coring; search and recovery; bottom surveys; photogrammetric surveys; archaeological site documentation and recovery; and environmental impact studies. Maintained and operated by experienced and expert pilots and crew, it is further supported by an in-house engineering staff. Working with the support staff, researchers also can add their own equipment, usually other cameras or sampling equipment, to the Clelia. The additional equipment, however, must be tested and certified that it can withstand deep-sea pressures. Harbor Branch also requires that researchers provide their equipment ahead of time to ensure that it can be interfaced properly with the Clelia’s existing equipment. language code: en Date=2022-02-22 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=reference System Note=update Definition Old Value=https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/technology/subs/clelia/clelia.html New Value=NOAA Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=Clelia [78c6cfd9-0df5-435e-9bb1-d14322db928f,826396] - HOV [63c8aa1d-6efc-4943-8891-3a1cd520dde0,826313] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=Clelia [78c6cfd9-0df5-435e-9bb1-d14322db928f,826396] - Subsurface [35f1c0af-8379-4812-a130-08d84514fc98,835899] Date=2020-01-21 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=Clelia [78c6cfd9-0df5-435e-9bb1-d14322db928f,559771] - HOV [63c8aa1d-6efc-4943-8891-3a1cd520dde0,559759] As of 2010, Clelia has been retired from active deployment and placed on display at the Georgia Aquarium as the centerpiece of their deep sea research methods exhibit.Owned and operated by Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institution, Clelia is a PC 1204 submersible built by Perry Oceanographics in 1976 and refitted in 1992 by Harbor Branch to address the needs of the shallow water scientific community.

NOAA-N will collect information about Earth's atmosphere and environment to improve weather prediction and climate research across the globe.NOAA-N is the 15th in a series of polar-orbiting satellites dating back to 1978. NOAA uses two satellites, a morning and afternoon satellite, to ensure every part of the Earth is observed at least twice every 12 hours.Severe weather is monitored and reported to the National Weather Service which broadcasts the findings to the global community. With the early warning, effects of catastrophic weather events can be minimized. NOAA-N also has instruments to support an international search-and-rescue program. The Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking System, called COPAS-SARSAT, transmits to ground stations the location of emergency beacons from ships, aircraft and people in distress around the world. The program, in place since 1982, has saved about 18,000 lives.NOAA-N is the first in a series of polar-orbiting satellites to be part of a joint cooperation project with the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMESTAT).

The front chamber, which contains the sub’s controls, is a 5-ft-diameter sphere made of five-in thick, clear acrylic. It provides a panoramic view for the pilot and one observer. Because acrylic is a good insulator and hampers conductivity of cold ocean temperatures, the front compartment actually requires air conditioning. The second chamber, the stern compartment, houses another crew member and a second observer. The occupants have access to two side view ports and a video monitor.

Download larger version (jpg, 476 KB). The human-occupied vehicle (HOV) Alvin enables direct data collection and observation by two scientists of the seafloor and water column to depths reaching 2.8 miles (4,500 meters) on dives lasting up to 10 hours with the support of an experienced, multi-talented support team. The Alvin Group and their equipment meet the highest safety and reliability standards as a result of decades of operational and engineering expertise. Continual innovation and the application of the latest technological advancements puts Alvin at the forefront of expeditionary research. Its seven reversible thrusters permit Alvin to hover in the water, maneuver over rugged topography, or rest on the seafloor. With an experienced pilot at the controls, it can collect data throughout the water column, produce a variety of maps, and perform photographic surveys. Alvin also has two robotic arms that can manipulate instruments and obtain samples ranging from hard-rock geology to delicate biology, and its sampling basket can be reconfigured daily based on the needs of each dive. Alvin is a proven and reliable platform capable of diving for up to 30 days in a row before requiring a scheduled maintenance day. Recent collaborations with autonomous vehicles such as Sentry have proven expansive, allowing research teams to visit promising sites to collect samples and data in-person within hours of being discovered, and University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS)-driven technological advances have improved the ability for scientific outreach and collaboration via telepresence. Currently rated to 4,500 meters, Alvin gives researchers in-person access to about two-thirds of the ocean floor. The sub’s most recent upgrade, completed in 2014, increased the depth rating of many of the vehicle’s systems, putting it just steps away from having a depth rating of 4.04 miles (6,500 meters) that would provide access to approximately 98 percent of the seafloor. language code: en Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=Alvin [57323291-3348-4292-812e-7436d6a0781a,826262] - Subsurface [35f1c0af-8379-4812-a130-08d84514fc98,835899] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=Alvin [57323291-3348-4292-812e-7436d6a0781a,826262] - HOV [63c8aa1d-6efc-4943-8891-3a1cd520dde0,826313] Date=2022-02-22 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=reference System Note=update Definition Old Value=https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/technology/subs/alvin/alvin.html New Value=NOAA Date=2020-01-21 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=Alvin [57323291-3348-4292-812e-7436d6a0781a,559767] - HOV [63c8aa1d-6efc-4943-8891-3a1cd520dde0,559759] Alvin, which is operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, has been in operation since 1964.

The Multi-SpectralScanner was powered down in 1995.[Summary provided by NASA.]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: LANDSAT-5 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: LANDSAT-5 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: MSS Short_Name: TM End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 705 km Orbit_Inclination: 98.2 degree Equator_Crossing: 9:45 AM (&#177; 15 min.) local time (descending node) Period: 99 minutes Repeat_Cycle: 16 days Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-02-01 Online_Resource: https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/landsat-5/ Online_Resource: https://www.usgs.gov/land-resources/nli/landsat/landsat-5 Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1984-03-01 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA Primary_Sponsor: USGS End_GroupEnd_Group 2021-07-23 16:59:49.0 R/V L'ASTRO Date=2022-02-23 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: A French icebreaker that is used to bring personnel and supplies to the Dumont d'Urville Station in Antarctica. language code: en Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=R/V L'ASTRO [40e85d85-0619-48ab-83ab-dc7371d1eeaf,826177] - Surface [59b97a6c-385e-40a2-8422-ecbdb6023c4c,835900] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=R/V L'ASTRO [40e85d85-0619-48ab-83ab-dc7371d1eeaf,826177] - SHIPS [82a67b12-e99d-4c90-8a6a-a6f79d4c3c7b,826443] A French icebreaker that is used to bring personnel and supplies to the Dumont d'Urville Station in Antarctica. 2022-02-23 13:31:43.0 GEMINI-12 Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=GEMINI-12 [3bd3a9c0-07cf-41eb-917d-d40162429a59,826147] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=GEMINI-12 [3bd3a9c0-07cf-41eb-917d-d40162429a59,826147] - GEMINI [443bd29e-d615-498d-8580-300249cb7695,826194] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=GEMINI-12 [3bd3a9c0-07cf-41eb-917d-d40162429a59,826147] - Solar/Space Observation Satellites [8e8b7689-0a8e-47a4-9c68-5f6a207104d5,826501] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=GEMINI-12 [3bd3a9c0-07cf-41eb-917d-d40162429a59,826147] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=GEMINI-12 [3bd3a9c0-07cf-41eb-917d-d40162429a59,826147] - Solar/Space Observation Satellites [8e8b7689-0a8e-47a4-9c68-5f6a207104d5,826501] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=GEMINI-12 [3bd3a9c0-07cf-41eb-917d-d40162429a59,826147] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=GEMINI-12 [3bd3a9c0-07cf-41eb-917d-d40162429a59,826147] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=GEMINI-12 [3bd3a9c0-07cf-41eb-917d-d40162429a59,826147] - GEMINI [443bd29e-d615-498d-8580-300249cb7695,826194] Gemini 12 was the tenth and final flight of the Gemini series, which bridged the Mercury and Apollo programs. This mission was scheduled to perform rendezvous and docking with the Agena target vehicle, to conduct three extravehicular activity (EVA) operations, and to conduct a tethered station keeping exercise. There were also 14 scientific, medical, and technological experiments on board. The successfully performed scientific experiments were (1) frog egg growth under zero-g, (2) synoptic terrain photography, (3) synoptic weather photography, (4) nuclear emulsions, (5) airglow horizon photography, (6) UV astronomical photography, and (7) dim sky photography. Two micrometeorite collection experiments, as well as three space phenomena photography experiments, were not fully completed. There were fuel cell and attitude control thruster problems during the mission, which was otherwise highly successful. Reentry was accomplished after 59 orbits, with the spacecraft under automatic control. It landed within 4.8 km of the intended impact point on november 15, 1966.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GEMINI-12 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: GEMINI Short_Name: GEMINI-12 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: gemini-12 End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 28.78 degrees Perigee: 243 km Apogee: 310 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-01-23 Online_Resource: http://www.astronautix.com/flights/gemini12.htm Sample_Image: http://www.astronautix.com/graphics/0/10074584.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1966-11-11 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group GOES-13 GOES-13 (GOES-N) lifted off aboard a Boeing Delta IV rocket from Space LaunchComplex 37 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida at 6:11 pm EDT on May25, 2006.GOES-13 (GOES-N) is the latest in a series of Earth monitoring satellites.Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) provide the kind ofcontinuous monitoring necessary for intensive data analysis.

The SRL payload, which first flew during STS-59 in April 1994, will again give scientists highly detailed information that will help them distinguish between human-induced environmental changes and other natural forms of change.SRL-2 will take radar images of the Earth's surface for Earth system sciences studies, including geology, geography, hydrology, oceanography, agronomy and botany.The SRL payload is comprised of the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR), and the Measurement of Air Pollution from Satellite (MAPS). The German Space Agency (DARA) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) are providing the X-SAR instrument.The imaging radar of the SIR-C/X-SAR instruments has the ability to make measurements over virtually any region at any time, regardless of weather or sunlight conditions. The radar waves can penetrate clouds, and under certain conditions, also can 'see' through vegetation, ice and extremely dry sand. In many cases, radar is the only way scientists can explore inaccessible regions of the Earth's surface.The SIR-C/X-SAR radar data provide information about how many of Earth's complex systems - those processes that control the movement of land, water, air and life - work together to make this a livable planet. The science team particularly wants to study the amount of vegetation coverage, the extent of snow packs, wetlands areas, geologic features such as rock types and their distribution, volcanic activity, ocean wave heights and wind speed. STS-68 will fly over the same sites that STS-59 observed so that scientists will be able to study seasonal changes that may have occurred in those areas between the missions.An international team of 49 science investigators and three associates will conduct the SIR-C/X-SAR experiments. Thirteen nations are represented: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the United States. The MAPS experiment will measure the global distribution of carbon monoxide in the troposphere, or lower atmosphere. Measurements of carbon monoxide, an important element in several chemical cycles, provide scientists with indications of how well the atmosphere can cleanse itself of 'greenhouse gases,' chemicals that can increase the atmosphere's temperature.STS-68 provided a continuation of NASA's Get Away Special (GAS) experiments program. The project gives a person or organization a chance to perform experiments in space on a Shuttle mission. Two universities, North Carolina A&T State University and University of Alabama in Huntsville, and the Swedish Space Corp., Soina, Sweden, will have small self-contained payloads flying during the STS-68 mission. Other GAS hardware in Endeavour's payload bay will carry 500,000 commemorative stamps for the U.S. Postal Service in recognition of the 25th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing.Other payloads aboard Endeavour include the Biological Research in Canister (BRIC) which will fly for the first time, and the Military Applications of Ship Tracks (MAST) which will be making its second flight. BRIC experiments, sponsored by NASA's Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences and Applications, are designed to examine the effects of microgravity on a wide range of physiological processes in higher order plants and arthropod animals (e.g., insects, spiders, centipedes, crustaceans). MAST is an experiment sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and is part of a five-year research program developed by ONR to examine the effects of ships on the marine environment.The Commercial Protein Crystal Growth (CPCG) experiment, the Chromosome and Plant Cell Division in Space Experiment (CHROMEX) and the Cosmic Radiation Effects and Activation Monitor (CREAM) experiment also will be carried aboard Endeavour.[Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: STS-68 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: STS-68 Long_Name: Space Transport System STS-68 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Endeavour End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 57 End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-30 Online_Resource: http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/sts-68/mission-sts-68.html Sample_Image: http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/134508main_sts-68-crew-sm.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1994-09-30 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group AC-680E Date=2020-12-28 User Id=sritz Entity=Resource Operation=DELETE System Note=delete Resource Old Value=id: 155271 type: IMAGE url: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/6/6f/AeroCommander680AtKCOS.JPG Date=2020-12-28 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=The Aero Commander 500 is the first in a series of light twin-engined aircraft originally built by the Aero Design and Engineering Company in the late 1940s.

Theprimary objective was to provide global daytime and nighttime directreadout real-time cloudcover data on a daily basis. Thesun-synchronous spacecraft was also capable of supplying globalatmospheric temperature soundings and very high resolution infraredcloudcover data for selected areas in either a direct readout or atape-recorder mode. A secondary objective was to obtain globalsolar-proton flux data on a real-time daily basis. The sensors weremounted on the satellite baseplate with their optical axes directedvertically earthward. The nearly cubical spacecraft measured 1 by 1 by1.2 m. The satellite was equipped with three curved solar panels thatwere folded during launch and deployed after orbit was achieved. Eachpanel measured over 4.2 m in length when unfolded and was covered withapproximately 3500 solar cells measuring 2 by 2 cm. The dynamics andattitude control system maintained desired spacecraft orientationthrough gyroscopic principles incorporated into the satellitedesign. Earth orientation of the satellite body was maintained bytaking advantage of the precession induced from a momentum flywheel sothat the satellite body precession rate of one revolution per orbitprovided the desired 'earth-looking' attitude. Minor adjustments inattitude and orientation were made by means of magnetic coils and byvarying the speed of the momentum flywheel.The primary sensors consisted of a Very High Resolution Radiometer(VHRR), Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR), and a ScanningRadiometer (SR).__________Taken from the NSSDC System for Information Retrieval and Storage (SIRS).

OGO 2 consisted of a main body, generally parallelepipedal in form, two rectangular solar panels, each with a solar-oriented experiment package (SOEP), and two orbital plane experiment packages (OPEP). It also included six experiment packages (EP-1,-2,-3,-4,-5, and -6) mounted on booms extending generally fore and aft of the spacecraft along the Y axis. Antenna and attitude control fixtures also extended from separate and/or EP booms. The main body was attitude-controlled by use of horizon scanners and gas jets and was designed to point toward the earth (Z axis). The axis connecting the two solar panels (X axis) was designed to oscillate in order to remain perpendicular to the earth-sun-spacecraft plane. The solar panels activated by sun sensors could rotate about this X axis in order to obtain maximum radiation for the solar cells and concurrently orient the SOEP properly. The OPEPs were reoriented on either end of an axis that was parallel to the Z axis and attached to the forward end of the main body. These OPEP sensors normally were maintained looking forward in the orbital plane of the satellite. To maintain this orientation, the OPEP axis could rotate over 90 deg. In addition, an angular difference of over 90 deg was possible between the orientation of the upper and lower OPEP packages. The SOEP contained four experiments, and the OPEP contained five experiments. Soon after achieving orbit, difficulties in maintaining earth lock with horizon scanners caused exhaustion of attitude control gas by October 23, 1965, 10 days after launch. At this time, the spacecraft entered a spin mode (about 0.11 rpm) with a large coning angle about the previously vertical axis. Five experiments became useless when the satellite went into this spin mode. Six additional experiments were degraded by this loss of attitude control. By April 1966, both batteries had failed, so subsequent observations were limited to sunlit portions of the orbit. By December 1966, only eight experiments were operational, five of which were not degraded by the spin mode operation. By April 1967, the tape recorders had malfunctioned and only one third of the recorded data could be processed. Spacecraft power and periods of operational scheduling conflicts created six large data gaps so that data were observed on a total of about 306 days of the 2-yr, 18-day total span of observed satellite data to November 1, 1967. The data gaps were (a) October 24, 1965, to November 5, 1965, (b) December 6, 1965, to January 7, 1966, (c) April 9, 1966, to June 21, 1966, (d) September 2, 1966, to November 18, 1966, (e) December 27, 1966, to April 11, 1967, and (f) May 9, 1967, to September 19, 1967. The spacecraft was shut down on November 1, 1967, with eight experiments still operational. It was reactivated for 2 weeks in February 1968 to operate experiment 65-081A-05.

The mainbody of the spacecraft was attitude controlled by means of horizon scanners andgas jets so that its orientation was maintained constant with respect to theearth and the sun. The solar panels rotated on a horizontal axis extendingtransversely through the main body of the spacecraft. The rotation of thepanels was activated by sun sensors so that the panels received maximumsunlight. Seven experiments were mounted on the solar panels (the SOEPpackage). An additional axis, oriented vertically across the front of the mainbody, carried seven experiments (the OPEP package). Nominally, these sensorsobserved in a forward direction in the orbital plane of the satellite. Thesensors could be rotated more than 90 deg relative to the nominal observingposition and more than 90 deg between the upper and lower OPEP groups mountedon either end of this axis. On June 22, 1969, the spacecraft potential droppedsignificantly during sunlight operation and remained so during subsequentsunlight operation. This unexplained shift affected seven experiments whichmade measurements dependent upon knowledge of the spacecraft plasma sheath.During October 1969, a string of solar cells failed, but the only effect of thedecreased power was to cause two experiments to change their mode of operation.Also during October 1969, a combination of manual and automatic attitudecontrol was initiated, which extended the control gas lifetime of the attitudecontrol system. In August 1970, tape recorder (TR) no. 1 operation degraded, soall recorded data were subsequently taken with TR no. 2. By September 1970,power and equipment degradation left 14 experiments operating normally, 3partially, and 9 off. From October 14, 1970, TR no. 2 was used only onWednesdays (world days) to conserve power and extend TR operation. In June1971, the number of 'on' experiments decreased from 13 to 7, and on June 28,1971, the spacecraft was placed in a spin-stabilized mode about the yaw (Z)axis and turned off due to difficulties with spacecraft power. OGO 6 was turnedon again from October 10, 1971, through March 1972, for operation of experiment25 by The Radio Research Laboratory, Japan.

The cylindrically shaped spacecraft measured 190.5 cm in diameter and 230 cm in length, exclusive of a magnetometer that extended an additional 83 cm beyond the cylinder shell. The primary structural members were a honeycombed equipment shelf and thrust tube. The VISSR telescope was mounted on the equipment shelf and viewed the Earth through a special aperture in the side of the spacecraft. A support structure extended radially from the thrust tube and was affixed to the solar panels, which formed the outer walls of the spacecraft and provided the primary source of electrical power. Located in the annulus-shaped space between the thrust tube and the solar panels were stationkeeping and dynamics control equipment, batteries, and most of the SEM equipment. Proper spacecraft attitude and spin rate (approximately 100 rpm) were maintained by two separate sets of jet thrusters mounted around the spacecraft equator and activated by ground command. The spacecraft used both UHF-band and S-band frequencies in its telemetry and command subsystem. A low-power VHF transponder provided telemetry and command during launch and then served as a backup for the primary subsystem once the spacecraft attained orbit. This spin-stabilized spacecraft carried a visible infrared spin-scan radiometer, meteorological data collection and relay system, space environment monitor, and a biaxial fluxgate magnetometer. Throughout its 7 year history, it operated at 45, 75 and 92 degrees West.__________Taken from the NSSDC System for Information Retrieval and Storage (SIRS).

To accomplish these objectives, the spacecraft was equipped with (1) a three-camera return beam vidicon (RBV) to obtain visible light and near infrared photographic images of Earth, (2) a four-channel multispectral scanner (MSS) to obtain radiometric images of Earth, and (3) a data collection system (DCS) to collect information from remote, individually equipped ground stations and to relay the data to central acquisition stations.

An advanced attitude control system consisting of horizon scanners, sun sensors, and a command antenna combined with a freon gas propulsion system permitted the spacecraft's orientation to be maintained within plus or minus 0.7 degrees in all three axes. Spacecraft communications included a command subsystem operating at 154.2 and 2106.4 MHz and a PCM narrow-band telemetry subsystem, operating at 2287.5 and 137.86 MHz, for spacecraft housekeeping, attitude, and sensor performance data. Video data from the three-camera RBV system was transmitted in both real-time and tape recorder modes at 2265.5 MHz, while information from the MSS was constrained to a 20 MHz rf bandwidth at 2229.5 MHz.

SPARTAN is a free-flying retrievable platform with two telescopes to study the solar wind, a continuous stream of electrons, heavy protons and heavy ions ejected from the sun and traveling through space at speeds of almost 1 million miles per hour. The solar wind frequently causes problems on Earth by disrupting navigation, communications and electrical power.The STS-64 mission will also carry the Shuttle Plume Impingement Flight Experiment (SPIFEX). This experiment is designed to directly measure RCS plume loads in the far-field regime under actual on-orbit conditions. Discovery's payload bay also contains a GAS bridge assembly with 12 GAS canisters (G-178, G-254, G-312, G-325, G-417, G-453, G-454, G-456, G-485, G-506 and G-562). One additional experiment in the payload bay is the Trajectory Control Sensor (TCS) package positioned on an Adaptive Payload Carrier. It will provide relative trajectory data on a target vehicle operating in close proximity (less than 5000ft) of the Orbiter. The TCS will provide range and range rate data for target vehicles having a reflective surface. Additionally, the TCS provides bearing, bearing rate, attitude, and attitude rates for target vehicles utilizing special retro-reflectors.In Discovery's middeck area, STS-64 will carry the Simplified Aid for EVA Rescue (SAFER) system, the Solid Surface Combustion Experiment (SSCE), the Biological Research in Canister III (BRIC-III) experiment, the Radiation Monitoring Equipment III (RME-III) experiment. Other experiments onboard STS-64 include Military Application of Ship Trails (MAST), Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment-II (SAREX-II) and Air Force Maui Optical Site Calibration Test (AMOS).[Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: STS-64 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: STS-64 Long_Name: Space Transport System STS-64 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Discovery End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 140 nm Orbit_Inclination: 57 degrees End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-30 Online_Resource: http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/sts-64/mission-sts-64.html Sample_Image: http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/134500main_sts-64-crew-sm.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1994-09-09 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group STS-99 Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=STS-99 [cc33ee94-f31e-4e4a-a659-f5c6fc244710,826750] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2018-09-18 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: 7b241f5e-a68a-491a-830b-22ecf48a57e3 relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=STS-99 [cc33ee94-f31e-4e4a-a659-f5c6fc244710,826750] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=STS-99 [cc33ee94-f31e-4e4a-a659-f5c6fc244710,826750] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2018-09-18 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=UPDATE Field=relationshipType System Note=update WeightedRelation Old Value=null New Value=Platform-Instrument Date=2018-09-18 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=UPDATE Field=relationshipValue System Note=update WeightedRelation Old Value=null New Value=1 Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=STS-99 [cc33ee94-f31e-4e4a-a659-f5c6fc244710,826750] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=STS-99 [cc33ee94-f31e-4e4a-a659-f5c6fc244710,826750] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=STS-99 [cc33ee94-f31e-4e4a-a659-f5c6fc244710,826750] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] The primary objective of the STS-99 mission was to complete high resolution mapping of large sections of the Earth's surface using the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM), a specially modified radar system. This radar system produced unrivaled 3-D images of the Earth's Surface. The mission was launched at 1231 on February 11, 2000 onboard the space shuttle Endeavour, and led by Commander Kevin Kregel. The crew was Pilot Dominic L. Pudwill Gorie and Mission Specialists Janet L. Kavandi, Janice E. Voss, Mamoru Mohri from the National Space Development Agency (Japanese Space Agency), and Gerhard P. J. Thiele from DARA (German Space Agency). This videotape shows a press briefing about a mechanical problem that the shuttle was having. There was discussion about possibly scrubbing the launch due to the problem with the Enhanced Master Events Controller. A problem with a fuel pump part had also become evident and there was discussion about the impact that this could have on the flight.

The constellationconsists of 24 operational satellites. The U.S. Air Force Space Command (AFSC)formally declared the GPS satellite constellation as having met the requirementfor Full Operational Capability (FOC) as of April 27, 1995. Requirementsinclude 24 operational satellites functioning in their assigned orbits andsuccessful testing completed for operational military functionality.GPS consists of three segments, the SPACE, CONTROL and USER Segment:1. The SPACE segment consists of 24 operational satellites in six orbitalplanes, (four satellites in each plane). The satellites operate in circular20,200 km orbits at an inclination angle of 55 degrees and with a 12-hourperiod. The position is therefore the same at the same sidereal time each day,i.e. the satellites appear four minutes earlier each day.2. The CONTROL segment consists of five Monitor Stations, three GroundAntennas, and a Master Control Station (MCS) located at Falcon AFB in Colorado.The monitor stations passively track all satellites in view, accumulatingranging data. This information is processed at the MCS to determine satelliteorbits and to update each satellite's navigation message. Updated informationis transmitted to each satellite via the Ground Antennas.3. The USER segment consists of antennas and receiver-processors thatprovide positioning, velocity and precise timing to the user.GPS provides two levels of service, Standard Positioning Service and thePrecise Positioning Service. The Standard Positioning Service (SPS) is apositioning and timing service which will be available to all GPS users on acontinuous, worldwide basis with no direct charge. The Precise PositioningService (PPS) is a highly accurate military positioning, velocity and timingservice which will be available on a continuous, worldwide basis to usersauthorized by the U.S. [Summary provided by NASA.]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GPS-36 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Navigation Platforms Platform_Series_or_Entity: GPS (Global Positioning System) Short_Name: GPS-36 Long_Name: Global Positioning System Satellites-36 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: GPS Short_Name: GPS RECEIVERS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 20,200 km Orbit_Inclination: 64.8 degrees Period: 718 minutes Perigee: 20,030 km Orbit_Type: MEO > Semi-Synchronous > Navigation End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-02-12 Online_Resource: http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/satellite_missions/select.cgi?order=by_name&sat_code=GP36&sat_name=GPS-36&sat_no=9401601&tab_id=general Sample_Image: http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/gps.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1994-04-10 Primary_Sponsor: U.S. Department of Defense End_GroupEnd_Group 2022-04-20 ATLAS-2 Date=2022-04-20 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science-2 language code: en Date=2022-04-20 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=ATLAS-2 [e4e2e121-378a-48f0-b160-0ebd48030b50,894384] - Space Shuttle [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,884518] Date=2022-04-21 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: The second flight in a series of Space Shuttle-Spacelab missions, designated the Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS), was part of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth.

During the 9-day mission, the Space Radar Laboratory (SRL) payload in Endeavour's cargo bay will give scientists highly detailed information that will help them distinguish human-induced environmental changes from other natural forms of change.The Space Radar Laboratory (SRL) payload is comprised of the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) and the Measurement of Air Pollution from Satellite (MAPS). The German Space Agency (DARA) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) are providing the X-SAR instrument. The imaging radar of the SIR-C/X-SAR instruments have the ability to make measurements over virtually any region at any time, regardless of weather or sunlight conditions. The radar waves can penetrate clouds, and under certain conditions, can also 'see' through vegetation, ice and extremely dry sand. In many cases, radar is the only way scientists can explore inaccessible regions of the Earth's surface.[Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: STS-59 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: STS-59 Long_Name: Space Transport System STS-59 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Endeavour End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 121nm Orbit_Inclination: 57 degrees End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-30 Online_Resource: http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/sts-59/mission-sts-59.html Sample_Image: http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/136249main_sts-59-crew-sm.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1994-04-09 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group SPAS-II Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SPAS-II [73fef640-5d7a-4798-93d3-a97b712287a2,826378] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=SPAS-II [73fef640-5d7a-4798-93d3-a97b712287a2,826378] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=SPAS-II [73fef640-5d7a-4798-93d3-a97b712287a2,826378] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SPAS-II [73fef640-5d7a-4798-93d3-a97b712287a2,826378] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=SPAS-II [73fef640-5d7a-4798-93d3-a97b712287a2,826378] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SPAS-II [73fef640-5d7a-4798-93d3-a97b712287a2,826378] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] The SPAS (Shuttle Pallet Satellite) satellite was a reusable free-flying vehicle built by Messerschmitt-Bolkow-Blohm.which could be deployed and then retrieved by the US Space Shuttle's Remote Manipulator System arm.

IRS-1B continues the series of Earth resources remote sensing satellites developed by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for land-based applications such as agriculture, forestry, geology, and hydrology. The spacecraft is a box-shaped 1.6 x 1.56 x 1.1 meter bus with two Sun-tracking solar arrays of 8.5 square meters each. Two nickel cadmium batteries provide power during eclipses. The three-axis stabilize sun-synchronous satellite had a 0.4 degree pitch/roll and 0.5 degree yaw pointing accuracy provided by a zero-momentum reaction wheel system utilizing Earth/Sun/star sensors and gyros. The satellite carried three Linear Imaging Self-Scanning (LISS) push-broom CCD sensors operating in four spectral bands compatible with Landsat Thematic Mapper and Spor HRV data. The bands were 0.45 - 0.52, 0.52 - 0.59, 0.62 - 0.68, and 0.77 - 0.86 microns. The LISS 1 sensor had four 2048-element CCD imagers with a focal length of 162.2 cm generating a resolution of 72.5 meters and a 148 km swath width. The LISS 2A/B sensors had eight 2048-element CCD imagers with a focal length of 324.4 mm generating a ground resolution of 36.25 meters and a 74 km swath width. The two LISS 2 imagers bracketed the LISS 1 imager providing a 3 km overlap. Data from the LISS 1 were downlinked on S-band at 5.2 Mbps and from the LISS 2 A/B at 10.4 Mbps to the ground station at Shandnager, India.

The spaceship Columbia has continued the pioneering legacy of its forebears, becoming the first Space Shuttle to fly into Earth orbit in 1981. Four sister ships joined the fleet over the next 10 years: Challenger, arriving in 1982 but destroyed four years later; Discovery, 1983; Atlantis, 1985; and Endeavour, built as a replacement for Challenger, 1991. A test vehicle, the Enterprise, was used for suborbital approach and landing tests and did not fly in space.Columbia was the first on-line orbiter to undergo the scheduled inspection and retrofit program. It was transported August 10, 1991, after its completion of mission STS-40, to prime Shuttle contractor Rockwell International's Palmdale, California assembly plant. The oldest orbiter in the fleet underwent approximately 50 modifications, including the addition of carbon brakes, drag chute, improved nose wheel steering, removal of development flight instrumentation and an enhancement of its thermal protection system. The orbiter returned to KSC February 9, 1992 to begin processing for mission STS-50 in June of that year.On October 8, 1994, Columbia was transported to Palmdale California for its first ODMP. Approximately 90 modifications and upgrades were made to Columbia during this 6 month period. Modifications included upgrades to the main landing gear thermal barrier, tire pressure monitoring system and radiator drive circuitry. (Reference KSC Press Release 113-94 and Shuttle Status Report 10/10/94)On September 24, 1999, Columbia was transported to Palmdale California for its second ODMP. While in California, workers will perform more than 100 modifications on the vehicle. Columbia will be the second orbiter outfitted with the multi-functional electronic display system (MEDS) or 'glass cockpit'. Last year, Shuttle Atlantis had the full-color, flat-panel displays installed on its flight deck during an OMDP. The new system improves crew interaction with the orbiter during flight and reduces the high cost of maintaining the outdated electromechanical cockpit displays currently onboard. (Reference KSC Press Release 74-99).On February 1, 2003, Columbia was lost during re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.

Another of his ships was the Endeavour, the namesake of NASA's newest orbiter.Discovery benefited from lessons learned in the construction and testing of Enterprise, Columbia and Challenger. At rollout, its weight was some 6,870 pounds less than Columbia. Two orbiters, Challenger and Discovery, were modified at KSC to enable them to carry the Centaur upper stage in the payload bay. These modifications included extra plumbing to load and vent Centaur's cryogenic (L02/LH2) propellants (other IUS/PAM upper stages use solid propellants), and controls on the aft flight deck for loading and monitoring the Centaur stage. No Centaur flight was ever flown and after the loss of Challenger it was decided that the risk was too great to launch a shuttle with a fueled Centaur upper stage in the payload bay.[Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: OV-103 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: OV-103 Long_Name: Discovery Space Shuttle End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Discovery End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-25 Online_Resource: http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/resources/orbiters/discovery.html Sample_Image: http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/resources/orbiters/discovery-logo.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1984-08-30 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2023-10-13 17:32:37.0 STS-66 Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=STS-66 [8b619f22-98ef-4a50-871d-04fc49ecdf03,826484] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=STS-66 [8b619f22-98ef-4a50-871d-04fc49ecdf03,826484] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=STS-66 [8b619f22-98ef-4a50-871d-04fc49ecdf03,826484] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=STS-66 [8b619f22-98ef-4a50-871d-04fc49ecdf03,826484] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=STS-66 [8b619f22-98ef-4a50-871d-04fc49ecdf03,826484] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=STS-66 [8b619f22-98ef-4a50-871d-04fc49ecdf03,826484] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] The Atmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Sciences - 3 (ATLAS-03) is the primary payload aboard STS-66. It will continue the series of Spacelab flights to study the energy of the sun and how it affects the Earth's climate and environment. The ATLAS 3 mission will make the first detailed measurements from the Shuttle of the Northern Hemisphere's middle atmosphere in late fall. The timing of the flight, when the Antarctic ozone hole is diminishing, allows scientists to study possible effects of the ozone hole on mid-latitudes, the way Antarctic air recovers, and how the northern atmosphere changes as the winter season approaches.In addition to the ATLAS-03 investigations, the mission will include deployment and retrieval of the Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometer Telescopefor Atmosphere, or CRISTA.

The experiments covered several disciplines. For the materials processing discipline, higher-quality crystals were grown by two methods; namely, seed crystal growth in a saturated solution and condensation from the vapor phase. The two fluid physics experiments studied the dynamic behavior of rotating and oscillating liquid drops, and the convection processes found in planetary atmospheres and in stellar interiors. The performance of equipment and facilities specially designed for investigations on the Spacelab Life Sciences mission series was evaluated. The investigations selected for the Spacelab 3 mission originated in the United States, France, and India, and represented a total of five different disciplines, including material science, life sciences, fluid mechanics, atmospheric science, and astronomy. Two of the investigations, one in material science and one in astronomy, had already flown aboard Spacelab 1. Many of the Spacelab 3 investigations were scheduled to be modified and reflown on later missions to further explore the discoveries of this mission. Some of the experiments were located in the module, some on the pallet in the payload bay, and one at middeck. Spacelab 3 consisted of a Spacelab long module and a pallet. The mission successfully demonstrated the capability of Spacelab for multidiscipline research in microgravity.[Summary provided by NASA.]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: STS-51B Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: STS-51B Long_Name: Space Transport System STS-51B End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Challenger End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 28.45 degrees Perigee: 370 km Apogee: 370 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-29 Online_Resource: http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/sts-51/mission-sts-51.html Sample_Image: http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/134455main_sts-51b-crew-sm.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1985-04-29 Launch_Site: Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2021-11-30 Photographs Date=2022-03-09 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: An image created by light falling on a photosensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic image sensor, such as a CCD or a CMOS chip.

After thespacecraft achieved orbit and the experiments were deployed into an operatingmode, an attitude control problem occurred. This condition was corrected byground control procedures until complete failure of the tape recording systemsin mid-January 1969. At that time, due to the difficulty of maintainingattitude control without the tape recorders, the attitude control system wascommanded off, and the spacecraft was placed into a spin-stabilized mode aboutthe axis which was previously maintained vertically. In this mode, seven ofthe remaining experiments were turned off since no meaningful data could beobserved by them. On October 23, 1969, the satellite was turned off. It wasreactivated again in January 1970 for 2 months to obtain VLF observations.

All 21experiments returned good data. At the time, this was the largest experimentalcomplement ever put into orbit. There were 4 cosmic ray instruments (1 of whichincluded a gamma-ray spectrometer), 4 plasma, 2 trapped radiation, 2 magneticfields, 5 ionosphere, 3 radio/optical, and 1 micrometeoroid detectors. Again,the GSFC positron search and gamma-ray spectrometer was included. Theexperiment was essentially identical to what was flown on OGO 1, with the PMTsbeing replaced by an improved variety. This time, the experiment was successfulin achieving all of its objectives. OGO 3 maintained 3-axis stabilization for46 days. At that point, an attitude controller failed and the spacecraft wasput into a spin on 23 July 1966. The spin period varied from 90-125 seconds. ByJune 1969, data acquisition was limited to 50% of the orbital path. Routineoperation was discontinued on 1 December 1969, and complete terminationoccurred on 29 February 1972.[Summary provided by NASA.]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: OGO-3 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: OGO (Orbiting Geophysical Observatory) Short_Name: OGO-3 Long_Name: Orbiting Geophysical Observatory-3 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: EOGO 3 Short_Name: OGO-B Short_Name: 02195 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: GAMMA RAY SPECTROMETERS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 31 degrees Period: 2913.0 minutes Perigee: 295.0 km Apogee: 122219.0 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-02-13 Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftDisplay.do?id=1966-049A Sample_Image: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/Images/ogo/ogo.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1966-06-07 Launch_Site: Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2022-03-11 15:18:34.0 2015-09-14 K1 Date=2015-09-14 User Id=mpmorahan Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=K1 [87daf1d5-4f7c-40e9-8d31-4c816c320029,158397] - IRS (Indian Remote Sensing Satellite) [3e8bc0c6-f599-4e23-9535-449af00edd61,143483] Date=2015-09-14 User Id=mpmorahan Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null text: Kalpana-1 language code: en Date=2024-11-19 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: METSAT (renamed as Kalpana – 1) is the first in the series of exclusive meteorological satellites built by ISRO.

Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Challenger, the second orbiter to become operational at Kennedy Space Center, was named after the British Naval research vessel HMS Challenger that sailed the Atlantic and Pacific oceans during the 1870's. The Apollo 17 lunar module also carried the name of Challenger. Like her historic predecessors, Space Shuttle Challenger and her crews made significant contributions to America's scientific growth.Challenger started out as a high-fidelity structural test article (STA-099). The airframe was completed by Rockwell and delivered to Lockheed Plant 42 for structural testing on 02/04/78. The orbiter structure had evolved under such weight-saving pressure that virtually all components of the air frame were required to handle significant structural stress. With such an optimized design, it was difficult to accurately predict mechanical and thermal loading with the computer software available at the time. The only safe approach was to submit the structural test article to intensive testing and analysis. STA-099 underwent 11 months of intensive vibration testing in a 43 ton steel rig built especially for the Space Shuttle Test Program. The rig consisted of 256 hydraulic jacks, distributed over 836 load application points. Under computer control, it was possible to simulate the expected stress levels of launch, ascent, on-orbit, reentry and landing. Three 1 million pound-force hyd raulic cylinders were used to simulate the thrust from the Space Shuttle Main Engines. Heating and thermal simulations were also done. On January 28, 1986, the Challenger and its seven-member crew were lost 73 seconds after launch when a booster failure resulted in the breakup of the vehicle.[Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: OV-099 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: OV-099 Long_Name: Challenger Space Shuttle End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: challenger End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-24 Online_Resource: http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/kscpao/shuttle/resources/orbiters/challenger.html Group: Platform_Logistics Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group STS-43 Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=STS-43 [e771da36-4162-407d-add9-46e6e0e80417,826855] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=STS-43 [e771da36-4162-407d-add9-46e6e0e80417,826855] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=STS-43 [e771da36-4162-407d-add9-46e6e0e80417,826855] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=STS-43 [e771da36-4162-407d-add9-46e6e0e80417,826855] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=STS-43 [e771da36-4162-407d-add9-46e6e0e80417,826855] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=STS-43 [e771da36-4162-407d-add9-46e6e0e80417,826855] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Atlantis will put NASA's fourth Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS-E) into orbit on Space Shuttle mission STS-43 to update the satellite tracking network, resulting in two operating satellites plus a complement of two spares in the space network.TDRS-E, to be deployed from Atlantis about 6 hours after launch, will be boosted to a geosynchronous orbit by an attached upper stage where TDRS-E will be positioned to remain stationary 22,400 miles above the Pacific Ocean southwest of Hawaii.The Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System, in operation since the eighth Space Shuttle flight, provides almost uninterrupted communications with Earth-orbiting shuttles and satellites and has replaced the intermittent coverage provided by globe-encircling ground tracking stations used during the early space program.

They circled the Earth every 103 minutes, completing 14 orbits per day and viewing the entire Earth every 18 days. The Landsat orbits are selected and trimmed so that each satellite ground trace repeats its Earth coverage at the same local time every day. Repetitive image centers are maintained to within 37 km (23 miles). The orbits of Landsat 4 and 5 are repetitive, circular, Sun-synchronous, and near-polar at a nominal altitude of 705 km (438 miles) at the Equator. The satellites cross the Equator from north-to-south on a descending orbital node at approximately 9:45 a.m. on each pass. Each orbit takes nearly 99 minutes, and the spacecrafts complete just over 14 orbits each per day, covering the entire Earth (poles excepted) every 16 days. During processing, data obtained is framed into individual scenes of the Earth's surface. The ground instantaneous field of view (IFOV) of the Landsat 1-3 MSS is 79m x 79m pixel (resolution elements); the Landsat 4 and 5 MSS IFOV is 82m x 82m pixel. MSS line scanning devices continually scan the Earth in a nominal 185 km swath perpendicular to the Landsat orbital track. The coverage patterns result in 14-percent image sidelap at the Equator for Landsat 1-3 data; Landsat 4 and 5 image side lap at the Equator is 7.3-percent. Image sidelap percentages increase proportionally as the latitude increases. __________ Taken from the NSSDC System for Information Retrieval and Storage (SIRS).

The SRL payload, which first flew during STS-59 in April 1994, will again give scientists highly detailed information that will help them distinguish between human-induced environmental changes and other natural forms of change.SRL-2 will take radar images of the Earth's surface for Earth system sciences studies, including geology, geography, hydrology, oceanography, agronomy and botany.The SRL payload is comprised of the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR), and the Measurement of Air Pollution from Satellite (MAPS). The German Space Agency (DARA) and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) are providing the X-SAR instrument.The imaging radar of the SIR-C/X-SAR instruments has the ability to make measurements over virtually any region at any time, regardless of weather or sunlight conditions. The radar waves can penetrate clouds, and under certain conditions, also can 'see' through vegetation, ice and extremely dry sand. In many cases, radar is the only way scientists can explore inaccessible regions of the Earth's surface. The SIR-C/X-SAR radar data provide information about how many of Earth's complex systems - those processes that control the movement of land, water, air and life - work together to make this a livable planet. The science team particularly wants to study the amount of vegetation coverage, the extent of snow packs, wetlands areas, geologic features such as rock types and their distribution, volcanic activity, ocean wave heights and wind speed. STS-68 will fly over the same sites that STS-59 observed so that scientists will be able to study seasonal changes that may have occurred in those areas between the missions.An international team of 49 science investigators and three associates will conduct the SIR-C/X-SAR experiments. Thirteen nations are represented: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the United States.The MAPS experiment will measure the global distribution of carbon monoxide in the troposphere, or lower atmosphere. Measurements of carbon monoxide, an important element in several chemical cycles, provide scientists with indications of how well the atmosphere can cleanse itself of 'greenhouse gases,' chemicals that can increase the atmosphere's temperature.STS-68 provided a continuation of NASA's Get Away Special (GAS) experiments program. The project gives a person or organization a chance to perform experiments in space on a Shuttle mission. Two universities, North Carolina A&T State University and University of Alabama in Huntsville, and the Swedish Space Corp., Soina, Sweden, will have small self-contained payloads flying during the STS-68 mission. Other GAS hardware in Endeavour's payload bay will carry 500,000 commemorative stamps for the U.S. Postal Service in recognition of the 25th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing.Other payloads aboard Endeavour include the Biological Research in Canister (BRIC) which will fly for the first time, and the Military Applications of Ship Tracks (MAST) which will be making its second flight. BRIC experiments, sponsored by NASA's Office of Life and Microgravity Sciences and Applications, are designed to examine the effects of microgravity on a wide range of physiological processes in higher order plants and arthropod animals (e.g., insects, spiders, centipedes, crustaceans). MAST is an experiment sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and is part of a five-year research program developed by ONR to examine the effects of ships on the marine environment.The Commercial Protein Crystal Growth (CPCG) experiment, the Chromosome and Plant Cell Division in Space Experiment (CHROMEX) and the Cosmic Radiation Effects and Activation Monitor (CREAM) experiment also will be carried aboard Endeavour.[Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: SRL-2 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: SRL-2 Long_Name: Space Radar Laboratory-2 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: SRL-2 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: X-SAR End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-28 Online_Resource: http://www-pao.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/missions/backup%2010-5/sts-68/ Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1994-09-30 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group OCO-2 Date=2018-04-24 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=UPDATE Field=relationshipValue System Note=update WeightedRelation Old Value=null New Value=1 Date=2018-04-24 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: da687fb4-016d-4b4d-92c2-380640ca5640 relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2018-04-24 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=UPDATE Field=relationshipType System Note=update WeightedRelation Old Value=null New Value=Similar Date=2018-03-14 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=OCO-2 is designed to provide space-based global measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) with the precision and resolution needed to identify and characterize the processes that regulate this important greenhouse gas.

IRS-P3 was put in a polar, sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 817km with equatorial crossing time of 10:30 A.M in the descending node.IRS - P3 has an X-ray astronomy and two remote sensing payloads, namely Wide Field Sensor (WiFS) and Modular Optoelectronics Scanner (MOS). The mission caters to oceanography applications.IRS - P3 WiFS is similar to IRS - 1C WiFS but for the inclusion of an additional band in the Middle Infra-red (MIR) region. This sensor is primarily meant for vegetation dynamic studies while MOS is meant for ocean related studies. MOS has helped the ocean application scientists in developing necessary algorithms for extracting ocean parameters such as phytoplankton, yellow substance and suspended sediments in ocean waters.

Two experiment booms failed to properlydeploy, with one of the booms obscuring a horizon scanner's view of earth. As aresult, the spacecraft attitude could not be earth oriented and OGO 1 remainedspin stabilized at 5 rpm. Nevertheless, data from all 20 experiments on boardwas received, although at a 'less than expected capacity' from some of them.During September 1964, acceptable data were received over 70% of the orbitalpath. Spacecraft operation was restricted to Spring and Fall due to powersupply limitations. There were 11 such 3-month periods prior to the spacecraftbeing put into stand-by mode on 25 November 1969. OGO 1 was completelyterminated on 1 November 1971.On board was the Positron Search and Gamma-Ray Spectrum experiment of Cline etal. It was designed to determine whether low-energy (0-3 MeV) positrons aretrapped temporarily or permanently in the Van Allen regions and whetherlow-energy solar and interplanetary positrons exist at the edge of the Earth'smagnetic field. A secondary objective was to detect gamma-ray bursts from theSun in the energy range 80 keV - 1 MeV. The experiment consisted of 3 CsIcrystals surrounded by a plastic anti-coincidence shield. The output of thewhole unit was monitored by 3 PMTs. Once every 18.5 seconds, integral intensitymeasurements were made in each of 16 energy channels which were equally spacedover the .08-1 MeV range.The experiment did not achieve its goals due to electrical interference andsecular degradation of the PMT responses. However, searching back through thedata after the discovery of cosmic gamma-ray bursts by the Vela satellitesrevealed the detection of one or more such events in the OGO 1 data.[Summary provided by NASA.]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: OGO-1 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: OGO (Orbiting Geophysical Observatory) Short_Name: OGO-1 Long_Name: Orbiting Geophysical Observatory-1 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: EOGO 1 Short_Name: OGO-A Short_Name: 00879 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: SPECTROMETERS Short_Name: MAGNETOMETERS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 31.2 degrees Period: 3839.0 minutes Perigee: 281.0 km Apogee: 149385.0 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-02-12 Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/database/MasterCatalog?sc=1964-054A Online_Resource: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/missions/ogo.html#ogo1 Sample_Image: http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/Images/ogo/ogo.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1964-09-05 Launch_Site: Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2022-03-11 15:18:25.0 OV-104 Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=OV-104 [595c5eb0-2a7d-452b-8a62-d492375b78fa,826268] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=OV-104 [595c5eb0-2a7d-452b-8a62-d492375b78fa,826268] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2023-10-13 User Id=sritz Entity=Resource Operation=DELETE System Note=delete Resource Old Value=id: 402246 type: IMAGE url: http://www.centralfloridavillaholiday.com/images/nasa_shuttle_launch.jpg Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=OV-104 [595c5eb0-2a7d-452b-8a62-d492375b78fa,826268] - SPACE SHUTTLE [3ef93fbf-1e19-42a9-a91f-502d125dbb7c,826168] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=OV-104 [595c5eb0-2a7d-452b-8a62-d492375b78fa,826268] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=OV-104 [595c5eb0-2a7d-452b-8a62-d492375b78fa,826268] - Space Stations/Crewed Spacecraft [388e72a1-b851-4b78-9e69-747e06ae215f,826132] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=OV-104 [595c5eb0-2a7d-452b-8a62-d492375b78fa,826268] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Atlantis, the fourth orbiter to become operational at Kennedy Space Center, was named after the primary research vessel for the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts from 1930 to 1966. The spaceship Atlantis has carried on the spirit of the sailing vessel with several important voyages of its own, including the Galileo planetary explorer mission in 1989 and the deployment of the Arthur Holley Compton Gamma Ray Observatory in 1991.Atlantis benefited from lessons learned in the construction and testing of Enterprise, Columbia and Challenger. At rollout, its weight was some 6,974 pounds less than Columbia. The Experience gained during the Orbiter assembly process also enabled Atlantis to be completed with a 49.5 percent reduction in man hours (compared to Columbia). Much of this decrease can be attributed to the greater use of thermal protection blankets on the upper orbiter body instead of tiles. During the construction of Discovery and Atlantis, NASA opted to have the various contractors manufacture a set of 'structural spares' to facilitate the repair of an Orbiter if one was damaged during an accident. This contract was valued at &#36389 million and consisted of a spare aft-fuselage, mid-fuselage, forward fuselage halves, vertical tail and rudder, wings, elevons and a body flap. These spares were later assembled into the orbiter Endeavour. Atlantis was shipped to California to undergo upgrades and modifications. These modifications include a drag chute, new plumbing lines that configure the orbiter for extended duration, more than 800 new heat protection tiles and blankets and new insulation for the main landing gear.[Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: OV-104 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPACE SHUTTLE Short_Name: OV-104 Long_Name: Atlantis Space Shuttle End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Atlantis End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-25 Online_Resource: http://science.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/resources/orbiters/atlantis.html Sample_Image: http://www.centralfloridavillaholiday.com/images/nasa_shuttle_launch.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1985-10-03 Launch_Site: Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2023-10-13 17:31:59.0 IRS-1A The Indian Remote Sensing Satellite-1A (IRS-1A) was launched on March 17, 1988. IRS-1A is the first of a series of semi-operational/ operational remote sensing satellites developed by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for land-based applications such as agriculture,forestry, geology, and hydrology. The three-axis-stabilized sun-synchronous satellite carries two linear imaging self-scanned sensors (LISS). LISS-1 and LISS-II perform 'pushbroom' scanning in visible and near IR bands to acquire images of the earth. Both push-broom scanning sensors operate in the four spectral bands: 0.45-0.52, 0.52-0.59, 0.62-0.68, and 0.77-0.86 micrometer. Local equatorial crossing time is fixed at around 10 a.m. The spacecraft platform, measuring 1.56 m x 1.66 m x 1.10 m, has the payload module attached on the top and a deployable solar array stowed on either side. Attitude control is provided by four momentum wheels, two magnetic torques, and a thruster system. Together these mechanisms provide an estimated accuracy of plus or minus 0.10 deg in all three axes.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: IRS-1A Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: IRS (Indian Remote Sensing Satellite) Short_Name: IRS-1A Long_Name: Indian Remote Sensing Satellite-1A End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: IRS-1A End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: LISS-II Short_Name: LISS-I End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 904 km Orbit_Inclination: 99.01 deg Period: 103.1minutes Repeat_Cycle: 22 days Perigee: 863 km Apogee: 917 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-10-05 Online_Resource: http://www.isro.gov.in/satellites/irs-1a.aspx Sample_Image: http://www.isro.gov.in/satellites/images/irs1a_img.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1988-03-17 Launch_Site: BAIKONUR COSMODROME, TYURATAM, RUSSIA Primary_Sponsor: India End_GroupEnd_Group 2018-10-30 ESSA-4 Date=2018-10-30 User Id=sritz Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=ESSA-4 [50992afe-f79e-47fc-a1a2-126dc2c42c9a,368199] - ESSA [65cb3e7c-d4d8-46df-a5fc-aec63e58e8df,345109] Date=2018-11-14 User Id=sritz Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Environmental Science Services Administration 4 language code: en Date=2018-11-14 User Id=sritz Entity=AltLabel Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update AltLabel Old Value=Environmental Science Services Administration 4 New Value=Environmental Science Services Administration Satellite 4 Date=2018-10-30 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: The ESSA-4 satellite replaced ESSA-2 and provided direct readout cloud-cover photography to ground stations worldwide using APT. The spacecraft was an 18-sided polygon, 42 inches in diameter, 22 inches high and weighed 290 pounds; it was made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel, then covered with 9100 solar cells. The solar cells served to charge the 63 nickel-cadmium batteries. The two cameras were mounted 180-degrees opposite each other along the side of the cylindrical craft. The "cartwheel" configuration of the TIROS-9 was selected as the orbital configuration of the ESSA satellites. Therefore, a camera could be pointed at some point on Earth every time the satellite rotated along its axis. The spacecraft operating system was the same as on the TIROS-9. The craft was placed in its planned Sun-synchronous 101-degree inclination retrograde orbit.

The spacecraft was an 18-sided polygon, 42 inches in diameter, 22 inches high and weighed 290 pounds; it was made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel, then covered with 9100 solar cells. The solar cells served to charge the 63 nickel-cadmium batteries.The two cameras were mounted 180-degrees opposite each other along the side of the cylindrical craft. The 'cartwheel' configuration of the TIROS-9 was selected as the orbital configuration of the ESSA satellites. Therefore, a camera could be pointed at some point on Earth every time the satellite rotated along its axis. The spacecraft operating system was the same as on the TIROS-9. The craft was placed in its planned Sun-synchronous 101-degree inclination retrograde orbit.

Radian: (915 MHz 5-beam Doppler profiling radar) collects Doppler spectra, calculates the spectrum moments, determines wind profiles at 1-60 min intervals, acquires, vertically-pointing data at 40-60 times resolution and 60, 105, or 210 m vertical resolution. 2. Radian: (2 kHz Doppler sodar) determines wind profiles w and backscatter power at 20 s time resolution and 25 m vertical resolution. 3. Radio Acoustic Sounding System (RASS): using the sodar as the acoustic source, the profile of T can be determined fro ~120 m to 0.5-1.5 km AGL, dependent on water vapor content, wind speed and turbulence. 4. Vailalla: (0.906 um lidar ceilometer) determines cloud base and provides a good estimate of the lidar backscatter (or extinction coefficient) from aerosols, clouds, and precipitation. 5. Radiometrics: (12 channel microwave radiometer) measures profiles of T, water vapor, cloud water, and column integrated values of water vapor and cloud water, at 10 min intervals up to 10 km, with highest vertical resolution oat low levels. This system also includes an infrared pyranometer, which measures cloud base temperature. 6. Zenith cloud imaging system: This will consist of an upward directed computer controlled, digital camera system that will provide visible images of the sky at user-selected levels. 7. Surface Instrumentation: T, relative humidity, wind, pressure, solar radiation, and rainfall rate, all at 1-s resolution, An improved aspiration system designed for rainy high wind conditions has been designed for accurate measurements of T and RH.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched. More than 10 satellites will be put into service within the next two years by Long-March launchers.

After about 500 days in orbit,the ALOUETTE-1 spin rate slowed more than had been expected, to about0.6 rpm when satellite spin-stabilization failed. It is now believedthat the satellite gradually progressed towards a gravity gradientstabilization with the longer antenna pointing earthward. Attitudeinformation was deduced from a single onboard magnetometer only, andaided by temperature measurements on the upper and lower heat shields.DATA ACQUISITION: Alouette-1 was an early space era satellite, andthere was no onboard tape recorder so data were available to theground stations only from the immediate vicinity of the telemetrystations.

To achieve this, Clusteris constituted of four identical spacecraft that will flight in a tetrahedralconfiguration. The separation distances between the spacecraft will be variedbetween 600 km and 20 000 km, according to the key scientific regions. The first Cluster mission was launched on 4 June 1996, but the launch vehicle exploded 37 seconds into the flight.Cluster II was launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan on 16 July 2000and 9 August 2000. The four satellites were put into orbit, in pairs, by twoSoyuz rockets provided by the Russian-French Starsem company. Starsem has fourshareholders - Aerospatiale, Arianespace, the Russian Space Agency and TsSKBSamara, the manufacturer of the Soyuz vehicle. Each of the four spacecraft carries an identical set of 11 instruments toinvestigate charged particles, electrical and magnetic fields.

The primary mission objectives were to perform rendezvous and four docking tests with the Agena target vehicle and to execute an extravehicular activity (EVA) experiment. Ten technological, medical, and scientific experiments were carried on board. Of the six scientific experiments only the Agena micrometeorite collection was successful. the others -- (1) zodiacal light photography, (2) frog egg growth, (3) synoptic terrain photography, (4) nuclear emulsions, and (5) spectrophotography of clouds -- were incomplete, owing to a large loss of fuel and early termination of the mission. The EVA docking and other maneuvers were canceled. The spacecraft reentered the earth's atmosphere after 6.5 orbits and landed in the pacific ocean on March 17, 1966.Auxiliary Information Launch Date and Time : 1966-03-16 16:48:00 Epoch Date and Time : 1966-03-17 Orbit Type : Geocentric Apogee(km) : 298.

With its engine at first augmented by a single-stage turbocharger, the ALTUS II reached an altitude of 37,000 ft during its first series of development flights at Dryden in August, 1996. In October of that year, the ALTUS II was flown in an Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM-UAV) study in Oklahoma conducted by Sandia National Laboratories for the Department of Energy (DOE). During the course of those flights, the ALTUS II set a single-flight endurance record for remotely operated aircraft of more than 26 hours. The ALTUS I, completed in 1997, flew a series of development flights at Dryden that summer. Those test flights saw the craft reach an altitude of 43,500 ft while carrying a simulated 300-lb payload, a record for a remotely operated aircraft powered by a piston engine augmented with a single-stage turbocharger. After major modifications and upgrades, including installation of a two-stage turbocharger in place of its original single-stage unit, a larger fuel tank and additional intercooling capacity, the ALTUS II returned to flight status in the summer of 1998. The goal of its development test flights was to reach one of the major Level 2 performance milestones within NASA's ERAST program: to fly a gasoline-fueled, piston-engine remotely piloted aircraft for several hours at an altitude at or near 60,000 feet. On March 5, 1999, The ALTUS II maintained flight at or above 55,000 feet for three hours, reaching a maximum density altitude of 57,300 feet during the mission. Later that spring, the ALTUS II flew another series of Atmospheric Radiation Measurement missions conducted by Sandia National Laboratories for the DOE. Hard-to-measure properties of high-level cirrus clouds that may affect global warming were recorded using specially designed instruments while the Altus flew at 50,000 feet altitude off the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i. Clouds both reflect incoming solar energy back to space, and absorb warm longwave radiation from the Earth's surface, keeping that heat in the atmosphere. Data from the study will help scientists better understand how these dual roles of clouds in reflecting and absorbing solar energy work, and build more accurate global climate models. In September, 2001, ALTUS II served as the UAV platform for a flight demonstration of remote sensoring and imaging capabilities that could detect hot spots in wildfires and relay that data in near- real time via the Internet to firefighting commanders below. The demonstration, led by NASA Ames Research Center, was flown over GA-ASI's El Mirage development facility in Southern California. In the summer of 2002, The Altus II served as the airborne platform for the Altus Cumulus Electrification Study (ACES), led by Dr. Richard Blakeslee of NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. The ACES experiment focused on the collection of electrical, magnetic and optical measurements of thunderstorms. Data collected will help scientists understand the development and life cycles of thunderstorms, which in turn may allow meteorologists to more accurately predict when destructive storms may hit.

In October of that year, the ALTUS II was flown in an Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM-UAV) study in Oklahoma conducted by Sandia National Laboratories for the Department of Energy (DOE). During the course of those flights, the ALTUS II set a single-flight endurance record for remotely operated aircraft of more than 26 hours. The ALTUS I, completed in 1997, flew a series of development flights at Dryden that summer. Those test flights saw the craft reach an altitude of 43,500 ft while carrying a simulated 300-lb payload, a record for a remotely operated aircraft powered by a piston engine augmented with a single-stage turbocharger. After major modifications and upgrades, including installation of a two-stage turbocharger in place of its original single-stage unit, a larger fuel tank and additional intercooling capacity, the ALTUS II returned to flight status in the summer of 1998. The goal of its development test flights was to reach one of the major Level 2 performance milestones within NASA's ERAST program: to fly a gasoline-fueled, piston-engine remotely piloted aircraft for several hours at an altitude at or near 60,000 feet. On March 5, 1999, The ALTUS II maintained flight at or above 55,000 feet for three hours, reaching a maximum density altitude of 57,300 feet during the mission. Later that spring, the ALTUS II flew another series of Atmospheric Radiation Measurement missions conducted by Sandia National Laboratories for the DOE. Hard-to-measure properties of high-level cirrus clouds that may affect global warming were recorded using specially designed instruments while the Altus flew at 50,000 feet altitude off the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i. Clouds both reflect incoming solar energy back to space, and absorb warm longwave radiation from the Earth's surface, keeping that heat in the atmosphere. Data from the study will help scientists better understand how these dual roles of clouds in reflecting and absorbing solar energy work, and build more accurate global climate models. In September, 2001, ALTUS II served as the UAV platform for a flight demonstration of remote sensoring and imaging capabilities that could detect hot spots in wildfires and relay that data in near- real time via the Internet to firefighting commanders below. The demonstration, led by NASA Ames Research Center, was flown over GA-ASI's El Mirage development facility in Southern California. In the summer of 2002, The Altus II served as the airborne platform for the Altus Cumulus Electrification Study (ACES), led by Dr. Richard Blakeslee of NASA Marshall Space Flight Center. The ACES experiment focused on the collection of electrical, magnetic and optical measurements of thunderstorms. Data collected will help scientists understand the development and life cycles of thunderstorms, which in turn may allow meteorologists to more accurately predict when destructive storms may hit.

This idea was born during the investigation of the possible application of radio-astronomy technologies for aeronavigation. Further investigations were conducted in a number of the Soviet institutions to increase the accuracy of navigation definitions, global support, daily application and independence from weather conditions. The research results were used in 1963 for R&D project on the first Soviet low-orbit “Cicada” system. In 1967 the first navigation Soviet satellite "Cosmos-192" was launched. The navigation satellite provided continuous radio navigation signal transmission on 150 and 400 MHz during its active lifetime. The “Cicada” system of four satellites was commissioned in 1979. The navigation satellites were placed into circular orbits 1,000 km high with an inclination of 83 ° and equal distribution of orbital planes to the equator. It allowed users to acquire one of the satellites every hour and a half or two and fix the position within 5-6 min of a navigation session. The navigation system “Cicada” used one-way user-to-satellite range measurements. Along with improvement of the satellite onboard systems and navigation equipment much attention was given to enhancing accuracy of determining and predicting parameters of the navigation satellite orbits. Later, receiving measuring equipment was disposed on the “Cicada” satellites to detect distress radiobeacons. The satellites received these signals and rebroadcast them to special ground stations where the computation of the exact coordinates of the emergency objects (ships, aircraft, etc.) was held. The “Cicada” satellites tracking distress radiobecons formed “Cospas” system that together with the US-French-Canadian "Sarsat" system built an integrated search and rescue service that saved several thousands of lives. The “Cicada” space navigation system (and its “Cicada-M” modernization) was designed for navigation support of military users and had been in use since 1976. In 2008 “Cicada” and “Cicada-M” users started to use GLONASS system and the operation of those systems was halted. It was impossible for the low-orbit systems to meet requirements of a great number of users. Successful operation of the low-orbit satellite navigation systems by the marine users attracted widespread attention to satellite navigation. A general-purpose navigation system was needed to meet the requirements of the great majority of prospective users. Based on the all-round research it was decided to choose the orbital constellation consisting of 24 satellites equally distributed in three orbital planes inclined at 64.8° to the equator. The GLONASS satellites are placed in roughly circular orbits with the nominal orbit altitude 19,100 km and an orbital period of 11 hours, 15 minutes, 44 seconds. Due to the period value it became possible to create a sustainable orbital system that unlike GPS does not require supporting correcting pulses during its active lifetime. The nominal inclination ensures global availability on the territory of the Russian Federation even when several SVs are not operational. Two challenges have been faced for designing a high-orbit navigation system. The first one dealt with mutual synchronized satellite timescales with the accuracy of billionths of a second (nanoseconds). It became possible because of high-orbit onboard caesium frequency standards with nominal stability at 10-13 and ground hydrogen frequency standard with nominal stability at 10-14 and also because of ground facilities of time scale comparison with error of 3-5 ns. The second challenge addressed high-precision determination and prediction of navigation satellite orbit parameters. This issue was solved with scientific research on second order factors of infinitesimals, such as light pressure, irregularities of the Earth rotation and polar motions and etc. Flight tests of the Russian high orbit satellite navigation system, called GLONASS, were started in October, 1982 with the launch of “Kosmos-1413” satellite. The GLONASS system was formally declared operational in 1993. In 1995 it was brought to a fully operational constellation (24 GLONASS satellites of the first generation). A great drawback that should have been focused on consisted in the lack of civil navigation equipment and civil users. Reduction in funding for space industry in 1990 led to degradation of the GLONASS constellation. In 2002 the GLONASS constellation consisted of 7 satellites that was insufficient for navigation support of the Russian territory even with limited availability. GLONASS was behind GPS in accuracy characteristics, SVs active lifetime comprised 3-4 years. language code: en Date=2024-05-01 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=GLONASS K2 [4f361c95-bfae-4dc6-a911-8a414c2d85b3,1663607] - GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS) [960f8eb8-6ca9-47d3-ae4a-7e21ebfad4c0,1653654] Date=2024-05-01 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Global Navigation Satellite System-K2 language code: en The first proposal to use satellites for navigation was made by V.S.Shebashevich in 1957.

The research results were used in 1963 for R&D project on the first Soviet low-orbit “Cicada” system. In 1967 the first navigation Soviet satellite 'Cosmos-192' was launched. The navigation satellite provided continuous radio navigation signal transmission on 150 and 400 MHz during its active lifetime.The “Cicada” system of four satellites was commissioned in 1979. The navigation satellites were placed into circular orbits 1,000 km high with an inclination of 83 ° and equal distribution of orbital planes to the equator. It allowed users to acquire one of the satellites every hour and a half or two and fix the position within 5-6 min of a navigation session. The navigation system “Cicada” used one-way user-to-satellite range measurements. Along with improvement of the satellite onboard systems and navigation equipment much attention was given to enhancing accuracy of determining and predicting parameters of the navigation satellite orbits.Later, receiving measuring equipment was disposed on the “Cicada” satellites to detect distress radiobeacons. The satellites received these signals and rebroadcast them to special ground stations where the computation of the exact coordinates of the emergency objects (ships, aircraft, etc.) was held. The “Cicada” satellites tracking distress radiobecons formed “Cospas” system that together with the US-French-Canadian 'Sarsat' system built an integrated search and rescue service that saved several thousands of lives. The “Cicada” space navigation system (and its “Cicada-M” modernization) was designed for navigation support of military users and had been in use since 1976. In 2008 “Cicada” and “Cicada-M” users started to use GLONASS system and the operation of those systems was halted. It was impossible for the low-orbit systems to meet requirements of a great number of users.Successful operation of the low-orbit satellite navigation systems by the marine users attracted widespread attention to satellite navigation. A general-purpose navigation system was needed to meet the requirements of the great majority of prospective users.Based on the all-round research it was decided to choose the orbital constellation consisting of 24 satellites equally distributed in three orbital planes inclined at 64.8° to the equator. The GLONASS satellites are placed in roughly circular orbits with the nominal orbit altitude 19,100 km and an orbital period of 11 hours, 15 minutes, 44 seconds. Due to the period value it became possible to create a sustainable orbital system that unlike GPS does not require supporting correcting pulses during its active lifetime. The nominal inclination ensures global availability on the territory of the Russian Federation even when several SVs are not operational.Two challenges have been faced for designing a high-orbit navigation system. The first one dealt with mutual synchronized satellite timescales with the accuracy of billionths of a second (nanoseconds). It became possible because of high-orbit onboard caesium frequency standards with nominal stability at 10-13 and ground hydrogen frequency standard with nominal stability at 10-14 and also because of ground facilities of time scale comparison with error of 3-5 ns. The second challenge addressed high-precision determination and prediction of navigation satellite orbit parameters. This issue was solved with scientific research on second order factors of infinitesimals, such as light pressure, irregularities of the Earth rotation and polar motions and etc.Flight tests of the Russian high orbit satellite navigation system, called GLONASS, were started in October, 1982 with the launch of “Kosmos-1413” satellite. The GLONASS system was formally declared operational in 1993. In 1995 it was brought to a fully operational constellation (24 GLONASS satellites of the first generation). A great drawback that should have been focused on consisted in the lack of civil navigation equipment and civil users.Reduction in funding for space industry in 1990 led to degradation of the GLONASS constellation. In 2002 the GLONASS constellation consisted of 7 satellites that was insufficient for navigation support of the Russian territory even with limited availability. GLONASS was behind GPS in accuracy characteristics, SVs active lifetime comprised 3-4 years. 2024-05-01 09:06:30.0 2017-09-01 GOES-10 Date=2017-09-01 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: [Source: NASA NSSDC, https://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftDisplay.do?id=1997-019A ] The Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite GOES 10 is the third satellite in a series of next generation geosynchronous spacecraft, referred to as GOES-NEXT and represented by the GOES I through GOES M spacecraft.

By measuring the time between transmission ofthe beam and reception of the reflected signal from thesatellite, stations can precisely measure the distance betweenthemselves and the satellite. These distances can be used tocalculate station positions to within 1-3 cm. Long term datasets can be used to monitor the motion of the Earth's tectonicplates, measure the Earth's gravitational field, measure the'wobble' in the Earth's axis of rotation, and better determinethe length of an Earth day.LAGEOS 2 was a joint program between NASA and the Italian spaceagency (ASI), which built the satellite using LAGEOS 1 drawingsand specifications, handling fixtures, and other materialsprovided by NASA.LAGEOS 2's orbit was selected to provide more coverage of seismically active areas, such as the Mediterranean Basin and California, and may help scientists understand irregularities noted in the motion of LAGEOS 1. Ground tracking stations are located in many countries (including the US, Mexico, France, Germany, Poland, Australia, Egypt, China, Peru, Italy, and Japan) and data from these stations is available world-wide to investigators studying crustal dynamics. LAGEOS 1 also contains a message plaque addressed to human and other beings of the far distant future with maps of the Earth from 3 different eras - 268 million years in the past, present day, and 8 million years in the future (the satellite's estimated decay date). Spacecraft: Both satellites are spherical bodies with an aluminum shell wrapped around a brass core. The design was a compromise between numerous factors including the need to be as heavy as possible to minimise the effects of non-gravitational forces vs. being light enough to be placed in a high orbit and the need to accommodate as many retroreflectors as possible vs. the need to minimise surface area to minimise the effects of solar pressure. The materials were chosen to reduce the effects of the Earth's magnetic field on the satellite's orbit.426 cube-corner retroreflectors are imbedded in the satellites' surface.422 of these are made of fused silica glass while the other 4 are made of germanium. The vehicles have no onboard sensors or electronics, and are not attitude controlled. Payload: Science is performed by reflecting laser light from the vehicle's 426 retroreflectors.

A. Mcdivitt and E. H. White on a 4-day, 62-orbit, 98-hr flight from June 3 to June 7, 1965. The spacecraft was conical and had a diameter of 3.05 m at the large end, which was the rear of the spacecraft and which was covered by a fiberglass heat shield to protect the craft during reentry. The objective of the mission was to test the performance of the astronauts and capsule for an extended length of time in space. The spacecraft was transported to space with a titan rocket. White performed a 23-min eva (walk) in space attached to the spacecraft by an 8-m tether. Medical and engineering experiments were performed. The scientific experiments performed were visual and photographic. The experiments performed were electrostatic charge (msc-1), proton-electron spectrometer (msc-2), triaxial magnetometer (msc-3), two-color earth limb photos (msc-10), inflight exerciser (m-3), inflight phonocardiogram (m-4), bone demineralization (m-6), synoptic terrain photos (s-5), synoptic weather photos (s-6), dim and twilight phenomena (s-28), radiation (d-8), and simple navigation (d-9).

In conjunction with appropriate laser-tracking systems, LAGEOS permitted extreme precision-ranging measurements for both geometric mode (multilateration) and orbital dynamic mode determinations of positions of points on the earth. It was the first spacecraft dedicated exclusively to high-precision laser ranging and provided the first opportunity to acquire laser-ranging data that were not degraded by errors originating in the target satellite. The high-accuracy range measurements from this permanent-orbiting reference point were used to accomplish many extreme precision earth-dynamics measurements required by the earthquake hazard assessment and alleviation objectives of the Earth and Ocean Physics Applications Program (EOPAP). The performance in orbit of LAGEOS was limited only by degradation of the retroreflectors, so many decades of useful life can be expected. The high mass-to-area ratio and the precise, stable (attitude-independent) geometry of the spacecraft, together with the orbit, made this satellite the most precise position reference available. Because it is visible in all parts of the world and has an extended operation life in orbit, LAGEOS can serve as a fundamental standard for decades.Auxiliary Information Launch Date and Time : 1976-05-04 08:00:00 Epoch Date and Time : 1976-05-05 Orbit Type : Geocentric Apogee(km) : 5946.

The solar paddlesand the control system housing were connected to the sensory ring by a trussstructure, giving the satellite the appearance of an ocean buoy. Nimbus-2 wasnearly 3.7 m tall, 1.5 m in diameter at the base, and about 3 m across withsolar paddles extended. The sensory ring, which formed the satellite base,housed the electronics equipment and battery modules. The lower surface of thetorus-shaped sensory ring provided mounting space for sensors and telemetryantennas. An H-frame structure mounted within the center of the torus providedsupport for the larger experiments and tape recorders. Mounted on the controlsystem housing, which was located on top of the spacecraft, were sun sensors,horizon scanners, gas nozzles for attitude control, and a command antenna. Useof a stabilization and control system permitted the spacecraft's orientation tobe controlled to within plus or minus 1 degree for all three axes (pitch, roll,and yaw).The spacecraft carried an advanced vidicon camera system for recording andstoring remote cloudcover pictures, an automatic picture transmission camerafor providing real-time cloudcover pictures, and both high- andmedium-resolution infrared radiometers (HRIR and MRIR) for measuring theintensity and distribution of electromagnetic radiation emitted by andreflected from the earth and its atmosphere. The spacecraft and experimentsperformed normally after launch until July 26, 1966, when the spacecraft taperecorder failed. Its function was taken over by the HRIR tape recorder untilNovember 15, 1966, when it also failed. Some real-time data were collecteduntil January 17, 1969, when the spacecraft mission was terminated owing todeterioration of the horizon scanner used for earth reference.__________Taken from the NSSDC System for Information Retrieval and Storage (SIRS).

(Longmont, CO, USA) is called WorldView-1, a successor of QuickBird-2 (launch Oct. 18, 2001 - and fully operational as of 2007). In Oct. 2003, DigitalGlobe was awarded a sizeable contract by NGA (National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency) of Washington DC, formerly NIMA (National Imaging and Mapping Agency), to provide high-resolution imagery from the next-generation commercial imaging satellites.The NGA requirements call for imagery with a spatial resolution of 0.5 m panchromatic and 2 m MS (Multispectral) data. The contract award was made within NGA's NextView program, designed to give the US commercial imaging satellite operators the financing to build their satellites for high-resolution imaging. The WorldView mission is intended to provide imaging services to NGA as well as to the commercial customer base of DigitalGlobe.Spacecraft:BATC (Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corporation) of Boulder, CO, is the prime contractor and integrator of the spacecraft, providing the S/C bus (Ball Commercial Platform BCP-5000) and a WorldView-60 camera. A new feature of the WorldView spacecraft are CMG (Control Moment Gyroscopes) actuators for precise and highly responsive pointing control. The BCP-5000 bus provides increased power, stability, agility, data storage and transmission (over the BCP-2000 bus) as the demand for Earth remote-sensing information becomes more comprehensive. The S/C is 3-axis stabilized. The ADCS (Attitude Determination and Control Subsystem) employs star trackers, IRU (Inertial Reference Unit) and GPS for attitude sensing, and CMGs as actuators. A S/C body-pointing range of ±40º about nadir is provided corresponding to a FOR (Field of Regard) of 775 km in cross-track. An instantaneous pointing accuracy of ≤ 500 m is provided at any start and stop of an imaging sequence. On the ground, the geolocation accuracy of the imagery is 5.8 to 7.6 m without GPCs (Ground Control Points) and 2 m with GPCs (3σ). The agile S/C provides retargeting at a rate of 4.5º/s with an acceleration of 2.5º/s2; it takes 9 s to slew the S/C over a ground distance of 300 km.S/C power of 3.2 kW (EOL) is provided by the solar panels; the battery capacity is 100 Ah. The solar arrays are being articulated into the sun (normal pointing into the sun). The rotational drive assemblies and drive control electronics, referred to as QuAD (Quiet Array Drive), are being provided by Starsys, a subsidiary of SpaceDev, Poway, CA. Unlike traditional stepper motor solar array drives, the QuAD technology provides low disturbance actuation, allowing spacecraft images to be captured at the same time that the solar arrays are being pointed.The S/C bus has dimensions of 3.6 m (high) and 2.5 m in diameter, the span of the deployed panels measures 7.1 m. WorldView-1 has a launch mass of 2500 kg. The mission design life is 7.25 years. Launch: A launch of the WorldView-1 spacecraft took place on Sept. 18, 2007 on a Delta-2920 vehicle from VAFB, CA.Orbit: Sun-synchronous circular orbit, altitude = 496 km (nominal), inclination = 97.2º. The equator crossing time is at 10:30 hours on a descending node. The period is 94.6 minutes. Note: While the low-altitude orbit selection offers better spatial resolutions than a higher one, it requires also more frequent reboosts to maintain the low orbit due to atmospheric drag influences.RF communications: The command data are in S-band at 2 or 64 kbit/s. The housekeeping telemetry and tracking is in X-band at 4, 16, or 32 kbit/s of real-time data, or 524 kbit/s of stored data. The imagery is downlinked in X-band at 800 Mbit/s. The S/C provides a data storage capacity of 2.2 Tbit in solid state memory with EDAC (Error Detection and Correction). A total of 331 Gbit of imagery per orbit may be collected. In addition, direct (real-time) downlinks to customer sites are available using the same high-speed 800 Mbit/s X-band link. Mission status: In early January 2008, DigitalGlobe announced the general availability of WorldView-1 imagery to its customers after all check-out aspects of the spacecraft and its payload had been completed. 6)• DigitalGlobe delivered its first sample set of high-resolution images on Oct. 15, 2007 and began supplying imagery to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) on Nov. 26, 2007 (the S/C reached already full operating capacity on Nov. 17. 2007).

It isbased on a simple spacecraft design and carries a science payload consisting ofadvanced instruments that were developed for other IASTP missions. Uniquefeatures of EQUATOR-S are its nearly equatorial orbit and its high spin rate.It was launched as an auxiliary payload on an Ariane-4 on December 2nd, 1997.The mission is intended for a two-year lifetime.The idea of an equatorial satellite dates back to NASA's GGS (Global GeospaceScience) program originally conceived in 1980. When the equatorial element ofthe program was abandoned in 1986 and several subsequent attempts to rescue themission had failed, the Max-Planck-Institut f?r extraterrestrische Physik (MPE)decided in 1991 to fill this gap in the GGS (and in the international IASTP)program because of its interest in the global magnetospheric science, andbecause it provided an opportunity for a test of an advanced instrument, EDI,to measure electric fields with dual electron beams. The realization ofEQUATOR-S was possible through a grant from the German Space Agency DARA(meanwhile part of DLR), that was approved in late 1994, but also throughMPE-internal funds and personnel.

The blunt, cone-shaped spacecraft was 3.048 cm in diameter at the rear of the craft. Primary mission objectives were to demonstrate (1) three rendezvous techniques, (2) an extravehicular activity (EVA) to test the astronaut maneuvering unit (AMU), and (3) precision landing capability. scientific objectives included obtaining zodiacal light and airglow horizon photographs. Two micrometeorite studies were to be carried out, and there were also one medical and two technological experiments. the agena target vehicle failed to achieve orbit, and the agena micrometeorite experiment hardware was lost. Other experiments functioned normally. The three rendezvous techniques were demonstrated, although docking could not be achieved due to a failure of the augmented target-docking shroud to jettison. The EVA was curtailed due to fogging of the visor and energy expended by the astronaut. Reentry was routinely accomplished after 47 orbits on june 6, 1966, within 3.2 km of the target point.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GEMINI-9 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Space Stations/Manned Spacecraft Platform_Series_or_Entity: GEMINI Short_Name: GEMINI-9 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: TITAN II (9) End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 28.86 degrees Perigee: 270 km Apogee: 272 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-01-24 Online_Resource: http://www.astronautix.com/flights/gemini9.htm Sample_Image: http://www.astronautix.com/graphics/0/10074373.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1966-06-03 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2017-03-02 WORLDVIEW-3 Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=WORLDVIEW-3 [dfb49f10-0755-464f-96b1-fc037802c86d,826827] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,826121] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=WORLDVIEW-3 [dfb49f10-0755-464f-96b1-fc037802c86d,826827] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=WORLDVIEW-3 [dfb49f10-0755-464f-96b1-fc037802c86d,826827] - WORLDVIEW [45694b28-c8a0-4a89-affc-082282ae9db0,835905] Date=2020-10-07 User Id=mmorahan Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: DigitalGlobe WORLDVIEW-3 language code: en Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=WORLDVIEW-3 [dfb49f10-0755-464f-96b1-fc037802c86d,826827] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,826121] Date=2017-03-02 User Id=aaleman Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=WORLDVIEW-3 [dfb49f10-0755-464f-96b1-fc037802c86d,278669] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,256549] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=WORLDVIEW-3 [dfb49f10-0755-464f-96b1-fc037802c86d,826827] - Space-based Platforms [b39a69b4-c3b9-4a94-b296-bbbbe5e4c847,835875] Date=2024-11-19 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: WorldView-3 is an imaging and environment-monitoring satellite from Maxar of the United States which launched on 13 August 2014 and remains operational.

NOAA-2 was not equipped with conventional TV cameras. It was the first operational weather satellite to rely solely upon radiometric imaging to obtain cloudcover data. The primary objective was to provide global daytime and nighttime direct readout real-time cloudcover data on a daily basis. The sun-synchronous spacecraft was also capable of supplying global atmospheric temperature soundings and very high resolution infrared cloudcover data for selected areas in either a direct readout or a tape-recorder mode. A secondary objective was to obtain global solar-proton flux data on a real-time daily basis. The sensors were mounted on the satellite baseplate with their optical axes directed vertically earthward. The nearly cubical spacecraft measured 1 by 1 by 1.2 m. The satellite was equipped with three curved solar panels that were folded during launch and deployed after orbit was achieved. Each panel measured over 4.2 m in length when unfolded and was covered with approximately 3500 solar cells measuring 2 by 2 cm. The dynamics and attitude control system maintained desired spacecraft orientation through gyroscopic principles incorporated into the satellite design. Earth orientation of the satellite body was maintained by taking advantage of the precession induced from a momentum flywheel so that the satellite body precession rate of one revolution per orbit provided the desired 'earth-looking' attitude. Minor adjustments in attitude and orientation were made by means of magnetic coils and by varying the speed of the momentum flywheel. The primary sensors consisted of a Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR), Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR), and a Scanning Radiometer (SR). The spacecraft operated satisfactorily until March 18, 1974, when the VTPR failed. NOAA-2 was then placed in a marginal standby mode from March 19 to July 1, 1974. It was then used as the operational NOAA satellite until October 16, 1974, when it was again placed in a marginal standby mode.

NOAA-2 was not equipped with conventional TV cameras. It was the first operational weather satellite to rely solely upon radiometric imaging to obtain cloudcover data. The primary objective was to provide global daytime and nighttime direct readout real-time cloudcover data on a daily basis. The sun-synchronous spacecraft was also capable of supplying global atmospheric temperature soundings and very high resolution infrared cloudcover data for selected areas in either a direct readout or a tape-recorder mode. A secondary objective was to obtain global solar-proton flux data on a real-time daily basis. The sensors were mounted on the satellite baseplate with their optical axes directed vertically earthward. The nearly cubical spacecraft measured 1 by 1 by 1.2 m. The satellite was equipped with three curved solar panels that were folded during launch and deployed after orbit was achieved. Each panel measured over 4.2 m in length when unfolded and was covered with approximately 3500 solar cells measuring 2 by 2 cm. The dynamics and attitude control system maintained desired spacecraft orientation through gyroscopic principles incorporated into the satellite design. Earth orientation of the satellite body was maintained by taking advantage of the precession induced from a momentum flywheel so that the satellite body precession rate of one revolution per orbit provided the desired 'earth-looking' attitude. Minor adjustments in attitude and orientation were made by means of magnetic coils and by varying the speed of the momentum flywheel. The primary sensors consisted of a Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR), Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR), and a Scanning Radiometer (SR). The spacecraft operated satisfactorily until March 18, 1974, when the VTPR failed. NOAA-2 was then placed in a marginal standby mode from March 19 to July 1, 1974. It was then used as the operational NOAA satellite until October 16, 1974, when it was again placed in a marginal standby mode. The spacecraft was deactivated on January 30, 1975.

The cylindrically shaped spacecraft measured 190.5 cm in diameter and 230 cm in length, exclusive of a magnetometer that extended an additional 83 cm beyond the cylinder shell. The primary structural members were a honeycombed equipment shelf and thrust tube. The VISSR telescope was mounted on the equipment shelf and viewed the Earth through a special aperture in the side of the spacecraft. A support structure extended radially out from the thrust tube and was affixed to the solar panels, which formed the outer walls of the spacecraft and provided the primary source of electrical power. Located in the annulus-shaped space between the thrust tube and the solar panels were stationkeeping and dynamics control equipment, batteries, and most of the SEM equipment. Proper spacecraft attitude and spin rate (approximately 100 rpm) were maintained by two separate sets of jet thrusters mounted around the spacecraft equator and activated by ground command. The spacecraft used both UHF-band and S-band frequencies in its telemetry and command subsystem. A low-power VHF transponder provided telemetry and command during launch and then served as a backup for the primary subsystem once the spacecraft attained orbit. The spin-stabilized spacecraft carried a visible infrared spin-scan radiometer, meteorological data collection and transmission system, space environment monitor, and a biaxial fluxgate magnetometer. It operated at 135 degrees West as GOES-WEST.For more information on GOES satellites:http://www.oso.noaa.gov/goes/Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GOES-3 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) Short_Name: GOES-3 Long_Name: Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 3 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: GOES C Short_Name: 10953 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: SXM Short_Name: VISSR Short_Name: SEM Short_Name: MAGNETOMETERS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Type: GEO > Geosynchronous > Geostationary End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-10-04 Online_Resource: http://www.oso.noaa.gov/goes/ Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftDisplay.do?id=1978-062A Sample_Image: http://library01.gsfc.nasa.gov/gdprojs/images/goes.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1978-06-16 Launch_Site: CAPE CANAVERAL/KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, USA Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA Primary_Sponsor: USA/NOAA End_GroupEnd_Group Meteor-3M Date=2019-05-31 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=INSERT System Note=insert WeightedRelation New Value=id: null related concept uuid: 1c0794e7-622d-47bf-9ca1-1da7232193df relationship type: null relationship value: null generated by: null Date=2019-05-31 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=UPDATE Field=relationshipType System Note=update WeightedRelation Old Value=null New Value=Instrument-Sensor Date=2019-05-31 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=UPDATE Field=relationshipValue System Note=update WeightedRelation Old Value=null New Value=1 Date=2015-05-08 User Id=saritz Entity=PrefLabel Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update PrefLabel Old Value=METEOR-3M New Value=Meteor-3M Date=2019-05-31 User Id=sritz Entity=WeightedRelation Operation=UPDATE Field=relationshipType System Note=update WeightedRelation Old Value=null New Value=Similar Date=2019-05-31 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=METEOR-3M Mission: The Meteor-3M satellite mission is a joint partnership between NASA and the Russian Aviation and Space Agency (RASA).

NigeriaSat-1 is the first step in FMSTs plan to develop Nigerias national space infrastructure. The NigeriaSat-1 programme included the satellite, a mission control station in Abuja, Nigeria and hands-on training at Surrey for a team of Nigerian engineers. During the project, Nigeria formed a National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA), which now manages the NigeriaSat-1 program. NigeriaSat-1 is a satellite of the standard Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC) design. It carries an optical imaging payload developed by SSTL to provide 32-m ground resolution with an exceptionally wide swath width of over 640 km. The payload uses green, red and near infrared bands equivalent to Landsat TM+ bands 2, 3 and 4.

The spin-stabilized spacecraft carried (1) a visible infrared spin-scan radiometer (VISSR) to provide high-quality day/night cloudcover data and to take radiance-derived temperatures of the earth/atmosphere system, (2) a meteorological data collection and transmission system to relay processed data from central weather facilities to APT-equipped regional stations and to collect and retransmit data from remotely located earth-based platforms, and (3) a space environment monitor (SEM) system to measure proton, electron, and solar X-ray fluxes and magnetic fields. The cylindrically shaped spacecraft measured 190.5 cm in diameter and 230 cm in length, exclusive of a magnetometer that extended an additional 83 cm beyond the cylinder shell. The primary structural members were a honeycombed equipment shelf and thrust tube. The VISSR telescope was mounted on the equipment shelf and viewed the earth through a special aperture in the side of the spacecraft. A support structure extended radially out from the thrust tube and was affixed to the solar panels, which formed the outer walls of the spacecraft and provided the primary source of electrical power. Located in the annulus-shaped space between the thrust tube and the solar panels were stationkeeping and dynamics control equipment, batteries, and most of the SEM equipment. Proper spacecraft attitude and spin rate (approximately 100 rpm) were maintained by two separate sets of jet thrusters mounted around the spacecraft equator and activated by ground command. The spacecraft used both UHF-band and S-band frequencies in its telemetry and command subsystem. A low-power VHF transponder provided telemetry and command during launch and then served as a backup for the primary subsystem once the spacecraft attained synchronous orbit.

When there are no disasters, AlSAT-1 will be used for Algerian purposes such as monitoring desertification, industrial and marine pollution, agricultural monitoring, geophysics mapping and fire detection. The nature of the mission is that the 6 micro-satellites, when coordinated together, can produce a daily revisit with a 32 m resolution multi-spectral imaging and 600 km ground track. AlSAT-1 uses the flight proven modular SSTL bus from previous missions but will carry a push broom imager for the first time on SSTL micro-satellites. As a part of the constellation and to maintain a daily coverage, AlSAT-1 is equipped with a propulsion system for orbit corrections.AlSAT-1's main payload a multi-spectral earth observation imager. Digital store and forward communications can be experienced between two points and autonomous GPS positioning techniques also accomplished.The Algerian satellite is one of SSTL’s new generation microsatellites in a sense that it carries a new type of push broom sensors. These types of sensors can previously only be found in larger commercial satellites. Because of the advance in electronics and semiconductor integration on a single chip, nowadays these sensors are being implemented by SSTL on microsatellites.AlSAT-1 is designed to view the earth surface with a 32 m resolution in three spectral bands (R, G, NIR) and a ground track of 600 km. The spectral bands were chosen to correspond to those used by commercial satellites in the following wavelengths (in micrometer) 0.5-0.6 micrometer, 0.6-0.7 , 0.7-0.8 ). The imaging system comprises two cameras for each spectral band and two sensors with 10 000 pixels each. This represents a huge quantity of data for the electronics on board (processors, SSDR, fast clocks) to deal with.The cameras provide 32 m ground resolution in 3 spectral bands capable of giving detailed information on earth resources, land use and effects of pollution and natural disasters using 2x10 000 pixels linear array detectors digitized to 8 bits radiometric resolution (256 levels). The image swath width is 600 km and the imager can collect images continuously along the flight track. The images are stored on board the microsatellite via the On Board Computer (OBC) and Controller Area Network (CAN) in the 2x512 Mbytes Solid State Data Recorder (SSDR) for later transmission to ground via digital packet error controlled links at 8 Mbit/s in S-band.However, on the satellite there will be an option to do “windowing”. By using this technique, we can take images of 100x100 km and thus extend the track range.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: ALSAT-1 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: ALSAT-1 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: SLIM-6 End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 700 Orbit_Inclination: 98 Period: 98.4 Perigee: 676 Apogee: 691 Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-06-02 Online_Resource: https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eoportal/satellite-missions/a/alsat-2 Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2002-11-28 Launch_Site: Plesetsk Cosmodrome, Russia Primary_Sponsor: Algeria End_GroupEnd_Group R/V DOLPHIN Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=R/V DOLPHIN [eba994bb-dd12-4941-ad6b-89d073e992f9,826875] - SHIPS [82a67b12-e99d-4c90-8a6a-a6f79d4c3c7b,826443] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=R/V DOLPHIN [eba994bb-dd12-4941-ad6b-89d073e992f9,826875] - Surface [59b97a6c-385e-40a2-8422-ecbdb6023c4c,835900] Date=2022-02-23 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: A 15 m multipurpose vessel has been specially configured to support marine geophysical survey.

Theprimary objective was to provide global daytime and nighttime directreadout real-time cloudcover data on a daily basis. Thesun-synchronous spacecraft was also capable of supplying globalatmospheric temperature soundings and very high resolution infraredcloudcover data for selected areas in either a direct readout or atape-recorder mode. A secondary objective was to obtain globalsolar-proton flux data on a real-time daily basis. The sensors weremounted on the satellite baseplate with their optical axes directedvertically earthward. The nearly cubical spacecraft measured 1 by 1 by1.2 m. The satellite was equipped with three curved solar panels thatwere folded during launch and deployed after orbit was achieved. Eachpanel measured over 4.2 m in length when unfolded and was covered withapproximately 3500 solar cells measuring 2 by 2 cm. The dynamics andattitude control system maintained desired spacecraft orientationthrough gyroscopic principles incorporated into the satellitedesign. Earth orientation of the satellite body was maintained bytaking advantage of the precession induced from a momentum flywheel sothat the satellite body precession rate of one revolution per orbitprovided the desired 'earth-looking' attitude. Minor adjustments inattitude and orientation were made by means of magnetic coils and byvarying the speed of the momentum flywheel.The primary sensors consisted of a Very High Resolution Radiometer(VHRR), Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR), and a ScanningRadiometer (SR). The spacecraft was placed in a sun-synchronous orbitwith equatorial crossing of the ascending node near 8:30 a.m. localtime.__________Taken from the NSSDC System for Information Retrieval and Storage (SIRS).

The overall objective is to provide high-resolution imagery to the customer base.Spacecraft:The EROS-B series S/C structure is identical to that of EROS-A, based on the Ofeq platform of Israel's Defense Ministry, and designed and built by Israel Aircraft Industries Ltd. (IAI/MBT). The deployed S/C structure is 2.3 m high and 4.0 m wide. The S/C is is 3-axis stabilized and the light/rigid design of the EROS satellite family allows for a great degree of platform agility. The spacecraft is very agile, a body-pointing capability of ±45º from nadir is provided in all directions, supporting the daily data acquisition plan. The S/C attitude is sensed and controlled as done with EROS-A. In addition, there is a star sensor for the B satellite series. The nominal S/C design life is six years.The nominal S/C launch mass is ~290 kg; however, additional onboard fuel (up to 60 kg) is sufficient for S/C operations of up to 10 years. This increased the spacecraft launch mass to about 350 kg. Orbit: Sun-synchronous circular orbit, mean altitude = 500 km, inclination = 97.4º, local time of descending node (LTDN) at 14:00 hours. - Note: The orbits of EROS-A and EROS-B are phased in the same orbital plane thereby increasing the revisit time of the constellation.Launch: A launch of EROS-B took place on April 25, 2006 on a Start-1 launch vehicle from the Svobodny Cosmodrome in eastern Siberia (location at: 51.4º N, 128.3º E). 3)RF communications: Imagery is transmitted in X-band at a rate of 280 Mbit/s (downlink) to the ground receiving stations, using a 1.5 W transmitter and one of the two existing two-axis gimbaled directional antennas. The EROS satellites are monitored/operated in S-Band (TT&C) via a single ground control station (GCS), located at IAI/MBT in Israel (3 to 4 passes per day and per satellite are in station visibility). The S-band data rate is either 2.5 or 15 kbit/s selectable by the GCS.ImageSat has a global network of ground segment infrastructure, for real-time image data acquisition. This network is comprised of the ImageSat Central Ground Control Station, a network of EROS-compatible Ground Receiving Stations on 5 continents and EROS-compatible Ground Control Stations based at exclusive customers' premises. Sensor complement: (PIC-2)PIC-2 (Panchromatic Imaging Camera-2), designed and developed by ElOp (Electro Optical Industries) of Rehovot, Israel, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems Ltd. The EROS-B series imager instrument features CCD pushbroom technology in combination with a TDI (Time Delay Integration) scheme in its focal plane, a cumulative expose concept of each ground image line by a CCD detector array, to improve the SNR value (an important issue for high-resolution imaging). The instrument uses also a Cassegrain telescope with an aperture of 50 cm in diameter and a focal length of 5 m (folded optics). FOV = 1.5º. The PIC-2 instrument is rigidly mounted to the S/C structure looking into the nadir direction, thus permitting a body-pointing observation scheme. he CCD pushbroom detector array provides 10,000 pixels per line and a total of 96 lines for selectable TDI observation support. Pushbroom scanning is provided for panchromatic imagery only in the spectral range of 0.5 - 0.9 μm. The ground sampling distance (GSD) is 0.70 m, the swath width is 7 km at nadir. The data is quantized at 10 bit/sample.The imager instrument of EROS-B spacecraft can be operated in either asynchronous or in synchronous imaging mode. In synchronous mode, the S/C platform keeps a constant pointing angle toward the Earth's surface. In asynchronous mode, imaging by the detector array is performed in a 'step-and-stare' fashion, i.e., by slewing the S/C platform in the along-track direction (this permits in particular the generation of mosaics as well as the support of stereo imaging of targets of interest).Information obtained from http://www.eoportal.org/Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: EROS-B1 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: EROS-B1 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: CAMERAS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 500 Orbit_Inclination: 97.4 Period: 94.7 Perigee: 503.5 Apogee: 514.7 Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-07-09 Online_Resource: http://directory.eoportal.org/get_announce.php?an_id=12460 Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2006-04-25 Launch_Site: Svobodny Cosmodrome, Russia Design_Life: 10 years Primary_Sponsor: ImageSat International, Israel End_GroupEnd_Group 2018-02-20 SPOT-7 Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SPOT-7 [5993e605-b045-43fb-bd9b-928892b7386d,826270] - SPOT [5615d18d-4217-42a0-a53d-77298834fc2e,826260] Date=2018-02-20 User Id=mmorahan Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=SPOT-7 [5993e605-b045-43fb-bd9b-928892b7386d,310583] - SPOT [5615d18d-4217-42a0-a53d-77298834fc2e,287827] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=SPOT-7 [5993e605-b045-43fb-bd9b-928892b7386d,826270] - Earth Observation Satellites [3466eed1-2fbb-49bf-ab0b-dc08731d502b,826121] Date=2021-11-30 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=SPOT-7 [5993e605-b045-43fb-bd9b-928892b7386d,826270] - SPOT [5615d18d-4217-42a0-a53d-77298834fc2e,826260] Date=2018-02-20 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: TECHNICAL FEATURES With SPOT 6 and SPOT 7, Astrium not only secures mission continuity of the SPOT series, which has been collecting an archive of more than 30 million of scenes since 1986: this new generation of optical satellites also features technological improvements and advanced system performance that increase reactivity and acquisition capacity as well as simplifying data access.

Two satellites, DE 1 and DE 2, were launched together and were placed in polar coplanar orbits, permitting simultaneous measurements at high and low altitudes in the same field-line region. The DE 1 spacecraft (high-altitude mission) uses an elliptical orbit selected to allow (1) measurements extending from the hot magnetospheric plasma through the plasmasphere to the cool ionosphere; (2) global auroral imaging, wave measurements in the heart of the magnetosphere, and crossing of auroral field lines at several earth radii; and (3) measurements for significant periods along a magnetic field flux tube. The spacecraft approximated a short polygon 137 cm in diameter and 115 cm high. The antennas in the X-Y plane measured 200-m tip-to-tip, and on the Z-axis are 9 meters tip-to-tip. Two six-meter booms are provided for remote measurements. Power is supplied by a solar cell array, mounted on the side and end panels. The spacecraft is spin stabilized, with the spin axis normal to the orbital plane, and the spin rate at ten plus or minus 0.1 rpm. A pulse code modulation (PCM) telemetry data system is used that operates in real time or in a tape-recorder mode. Data have been acquired on a science-problem-oriented basis, with closely coordinated operations of the various instruments, both satellites, and supportive experiments. Data acquired from the instruments are temporarily stored on tape recorders before transmission at an 8:1 playback-to-record ratio. Additional operational flexibility allows a playback-to-record ratio of 4:1. The primary data rate is 16,384 bits per second. Since commands are stored in a command memory unit, spacecraft operations are not real time, except for the transmission of the wideband analog data from the Plasma Wave Instrument (81-070A-02). On October 22, 1990 science operations were terminated. On February 28, 1991 Dynamics Explorer 1 operations were offically terminated.

(IAI). The overall objective is to launch and operate a constellation of high-resolution commercial satellites, primarily for intelligence and national security applications and to serve a global customer base. The spaceborne remote sensing technology for the EROS family was approved by the government of Israel in Oct. 1996. The EROS program offers a combination of services and products tailored to meet specific customer requirements and budgets: • The option to acquire exclusive imaging rights over a defined footprint or the ability to acquire imagery on an exclusive basis.• Rapid delivery of imagery to the customer, either through direct downlink, electronic transfer or courier.• Provision of low-cost imagery products to support applications in many fields.Spacecraft:The EROS-A satellite structure consists of low-mass composite material with passive thermal control, it is three-axis stabilized. Attitude control and navigation is performed using horizon sensors, sun sensors, gyros and magnetometer, four reaction wheels and thrusters. The pointing accuracy is <0.1º in all three axes, attitude stabilization is < 40 µrad/s, the jitter is < 0.2 µrad. S/C mass = 260 kg (178 kg S/C bus, 42 kg of instrument mass and 30 kg of hydrazine), solar panel power (silicon array, fixed panels) = 450 W (EOL), plus 14 Ah NiCd batteries for eclipse operation, the bus power consumption at imaging session is 300 W. S/C design life = 4 years, however the estimated operational life of the satellite is ten years. RF communications: Imagery is transmitted in X-band at a rate of 70 Mbit/s (RF downlink) to the ground receiving stations, using a 1.5 W transmitter and one of the two existing two-axis gimbaled directional antennas. The EROS satellites are monitored/operated in S-Band (TT&C) via a single ground control station (GCS), located at IAI/MBT in Israel (3 to 4 passes per day and per satellite are in station visibility). The S-band data rate is either 2.5 or 15 kbit/s selectable by the GCS.ImageSat has a global network of ground segment infrastructure, for real-time image data acquisition. This network is comprised of the ImageSat Central Ground Control Station, a network of EROS-compatible Ground Receiving Stations on 5 continents and EROS-compatible Ground Control Stations based at exclusive customers' premises (see SOP Program).The EROS A satellite has limited availability of onboard source data storage, as the satellite was designed to cater to customers acquiring real-time, exclusive imaging and download rights over a defined geographic footprint, in view of their own EROS-compatible GRS (Ground Receiving Stations).Operational capabilities/services primarily include:• Satellite Operating Partner (SOP) Program. This service provides a dedicated regional satellite with local customer tasking. SOP receiving ground stations are able to plan, to generate and to transmit imaging commands to the satellite and to download imagery in real-time.• PAS (Priority Acquisition Service) Program. The service provides highest priority tasking of the EROS satellite, in areas not previously acquired by SOP Customers.• Non-exclusive acquisitions. ImageSat sells EROS imagery on a non-exclusive basis to customers for civilian applications, such as mapping, disaster planning and monitoring, environmental management, homeland security and border control, and a range of development-related projects. aunch: EROS-A was launched on a Russian Start-1 launcher on Dec. 5, 2000 from the Svobodny Cosmodrome in eastern Siberia.Orbit for EROS-A: Circular sun-synchronous orbit, altitude 480 km, inclination = 97.3º, period = 94.7 minutes, local time of descending node at 10:00 hours. The revisit capability at at latitude of 10º within a 15º cone is within 10.5 days. A revisit period/satellite at latitude of 10º is 4.5 days within a 30º cone, and only 2.5 days within a 45º cone.Operational status of mission: The EROS-A spacecraft and all subsystems are operating nominally as of 2008. Operations are expected to last until 2010. Background on EROS program:EROS is a program of ImageSat International, N.V., formerly WIS (West Indian Space) Ltd., Cayman Islands. The name change took place in June 2000. ImageSat was re-incorporated in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles. ImageSat's ownership includes: Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) of Tel-Aviv (owned by the Israeli government), Elbit Systems Ltd. of Haifa, and private investors from Europe and the United States.• EROS-B was launched on April 25, 2006 on a Start-1 launch vehicle from the Svobodny Cosmodrome in eastern Siberia• A third satellite, EROS C, will offer comparable panchromatic resolution to EROS B, as well as multispectral resolution of 2.8 m GSD; it is planned for launch in 2009.

SPOT-3 is a earth observationsatellite with a ground resolution better than that of the Landsatseries satellites. The main applications for the images returned bythe third SPOT mission are land-use studies, agriculture and forestryresources, mineral and oil resources, and cartography. The three-axisstabilized satellite operates in a circular sun-synchronous near-polarorbit for a design lifetime of 2 years.Orbital Characteristics- Orbital Period: 101.20 m Inclination: 98.60 degrees Periapsis: 819.00 km Apoapsis: 846.00 kmThe spacecraft dimensions are 2 x 2 x 3.5 m and 15.60 m for theoverall length of the deployed solar panel. SPOT-3 consists of twoparts: (1) the bus, a standard multipurpose platform, and (2) thepayload. The bus provides housekeeping information and an onboardcomputer. The payload is mounted on one of the side panels of thebus. It consists of two identical high-resolution visible (HRV)imaging instruments and a package comprising two magnetic-tape datarecorders and a telemetry transmitter. The HRV imaging instrumentobserves in three spectral bands (in the visible and near infraredregions) with a ground resolution of 20 m, and/or in a broaderspectral band (panchromatic black and white) with a ground resolutionof 10 m. The pattern of successive ground tracks is repeated exactlyat 26-day intervals. The SPOT-3 instrument package has the provisionfor off-nadir viewing which should be particularly useful formonitoring localized phenomena evolving on a relatively shorttimescale. Also, the satellite provides the capability for recordingstereoscopic pairs of images of a given area during successivesatellite passes.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: SPOT-3 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPOT Short_Name: SPOT-3 Long_Name: Systeme Probatoire Pour l'Observation de la Terre-3 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: SPOT-3 Short_Name: 22823 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: DORIS Short_Name: POAM II Short_Name: HRV End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 98.6° Period: 101.20 minutes Perigee: 819.0 km Apogee: 846.0 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-13 Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftDisplay.do?id=1993-061A Online_Resource: http://www.cnes.fr/web/1417-spot-1-to-5.php Online_Resource: http://www.spot.com/ Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1993-09-26 Launch_Site: Kourou, French Guiana Design_Life: 2 YEARS Primary_Sponsor: France/CNES End_GroupEnd_Group R/V NBP Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=R/V NBP [a9c4dcab-bbd0-4f67-b2c0-bbbe71b8245e,826611] - Surface [59b97a6c-385e-40a2-8422-ecbdb6023c4c,835900] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=R/V NBP [a9c4dcab-bbd0-4f67-b2c0-bbbe71b8245e,826611] - SHIPS [82a67b12-e99d-4c90-8a6a-a6f79d4c3c7b,826443] [from NSF web page on R/V Nathaniel B.

Principal investigations were (1) imaging of solar flare X rays in the range 10 to 40 keV by means of rotating modulation collimators and (2) spectroscopy of X-ray emission lines from highly ionized iron in solar flares in the range 1.7 to 2.0 A by means of a Bragg spectrometer. Wavelength scanning was achieved by the spacecraft revolution, with an offset pointing of the spin axis with respect to the sun. Investigations (1) and (2) each had a time resolution of 6 s. In addition, the following investigations were included: three solar flare X-ray monitors that recorded the time profile and spectrum of the X-ray flares in the range 2 to 20 keV, a solar flare gamma-ray detector for the range 0.2 to 9.0 MeV, a particle detector that monitored electron flux above 100 keV, and plasma probes for the measurement of electron density and temperature.

SPOT-1 is an earth observation satellitewith a greater ground resolution than that of the Landsat series satellites.The main applications for the images returned by the first SPOT mission areland-use studies, agriculture and forestry resources, mineral and oilresources, and cartography. The three-axis stabilized satellite operates ina circular sun-synchronous near-polar orbit for a design lifetime of 2 years.Orbital Characteristics- Orbital Period: 101.40 m Inclination: 98.70 degrees Eccentricity: 0.00101 Periapsis: 815.00 km Apoapsis: 829.60 kmThe spacecraft dimensions are 2 x 2 x 3.5 m and 15.60 m for the overalllength of the deployed solar panel. SPOT-1 consists of two parts:(1) the bus, a standard multipurpose platform, and (2) the payload. Thebus provides housekeeping information and an onboard computer. The payloadis mounted on one of the side panels of the bus.SPOT-1 consists of two identical high-resolution visible (HRV)imaging instruments and a package comprising two magnetic-tape data recordersand a telemetry transmitter. The HRV imaging instrument observes in threespectral bands (in the visible and near infrared regions) with a groundresolution of 20 m, and/or in a broader spectral band (panchromatic black andwhite) with a ground resolution of 10 m. The pattern of successive groundtracks is repeated exactly at 26-day intervals. The SPOT-1 instrument packagehas the provision for off-nadir viewing which should be particularly useful formonitoring localized phenomena evolving on a relatively short timescale.SPOT-1, also, provides the capability for recording stereoscopic pairs ofimages of a given area during successive satellite passes.*NOTE-SPOT1 is used for technological experiments such as : refocusing,batteries, etc,...*NOTE-SPOT1 is no more used for commercial image acquisition.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: SPOT-1 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPOT Short_Name: SPOT-1 Long_Name: Systeme Probatoire Pour l'Observation de la Terre-1 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: SPOT-1 Short_Name: SPOT-A Short_Name: 16613 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: HRV End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 98.7° Period: 101.4 minutes Perigee: 815.0 km Apogee: 829.6 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-13 Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftOrbit.do?id=1986-019A Online_Resource: http://www.cnes.fr/web/1417-spot-1-to-5.php Online_Resource: http://www.spot.com/ Sample_Image: http://msl.jpl.nasa.gov/QuickLooks/pictures/spot1.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1986-02-22 Launch_Site: Kourou, French Guiana Primary_Sponsor: France/CNES End_GroupEnd_Group 2020-07-07 Oregon II Date=2020-07-07 User Id=sritz Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=Oregon II [b789b66d-e120-438b-96c1-2849c971040d,560520] - SHIPS [82a67b12-e99d-4c90-8a6a-a6f79d4c3c7b,542079] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=Oregon II [b789b66d-e120-438b-96c1-2849c971040d,826674] - SHIPS [82a67b12-e99d-4c90-8a6a-a6f79d4c3c7b,826443] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=Oregon II [b789b66d-e120-438b-96c1-2849c971040d,826674] - Surface [59b97a6c-385e-40a2-8422-ecbdb6023c4c,835900] Date=2020-07-07 User Id=sritz Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: NOAA Ship Oregon II language code: en Date=2020-07-07 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: Homeported in Pascagoula, Mississippi, NOAA Ship Oregon II conducts a variety of fisheries, plankton and marine mammal surveys in the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea.

The main applications for the images returned by the second SPOT mission are land-use studies, agriculture and forestry resources, mineral and oil resources, and cartography. The three-axis stabilized satellite operates in a circular sun-synchronous near-polar orbit for a design lifetime of 2 years. The spacecraft dimensions are 2 x 2 x 3.5 m and 15.60 m for the overall length of the deployed solar panel. SPOT-B consists of two parts: (1) the bus, a standard multipurpose platform, and (2) the payload. The bus provides housekeeping information and an onboard computer. The payload is mounted on one of the side panels of the bus. It consists of two identical high-resolution visible (HRV) imaging instruments and a package comprising two magnetic-tape data recorders and a telemetry transmitter. The HRV imaging instrument observes in three spectral bands (in the visible and near infrared regions) with a ground resolution of 20 m, and/or in a broader spectral band (panchromatic black and white) with a ground resolution of 10 m. The pattern of successive ground tracks is repeated exactly at 26-day intervals. The SPOT-B instrument package has the provision for off-nadir viewing which should be particularly useful for monitoring localized phenomena evolving on a relatively short timescale. It also provides the capability for recording stereoscopic pairs of images of a given area during successive satellite passes.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: SPOT-2 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: SPOT Short_Name: SPOT-2 Long_Name: Systeme Probatoire Pour l'Observation de la Terre-2 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: SPOT-2 Short_Name: SPOT-B Short_Name: 20436 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: DORIS Short_Name: HRV End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 98.7° Period: 100.9 minutes Perigee: 802 km Apogee: 831 km Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-13 Online_Resource: http://www.spotimage.fr/web/en/224-technical-information.php Online_Resource: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/spacecraftOrbit.do?id=1990-005A Online_Resource: http://www.spot.com/ Sample_Image: http://www.space-risks.com/SpaceData/ImaSat/spot2.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1990-01-22 Launch_Site: Kourou, French Guiana Primary_Sponsor: CNES End_GroupEnd_Group 2018-06-14 Pleiades-1A Date=2018-06-14 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: Pléiades 1A and Pléiades 1B operate as a constellation in the same orbit, phased 180° apart.

It's rugged, fast and powerful, but its fighting days are numbered. Though the United States Navy is slowly decommissioning the fleet, one S-3B is still flying in hostile conditions. Its next mission? Venture into hazardous weather to study a phenomenon that has caused more than 100 commercial aircraft engines to fail, stall or temporarily lose power. Engineers from NASA's Glenn Research Center, Boeing and the Navy have combined forces to transform the S-3B into a state-of-the-art NASA research aircraft. Last month, NASA Glenn unveiled the modified plane in Cleveland. "We were able to capitalize on the decommissioning by acquiring the aircraft directly from the Navy," explained Dr. Rickey Shyne, director of Glenn's Facilities and Test Directorate. "This saved taxpayers millions of dollars compared to the cost of a new aircraft." Workers at the Navy's Fleet Readiness Center - Southeast and a Boeing facility in Fla. enhanced the plane by adding commercial satellite communications, global positioning navigation and weather radar systems. They installed research equipment racks in what was once the plane's bomb bay. And they gave it a shiny blue-and-white NASA paint job. With these new features, NASA's S-3B Viking is equipped to conduct science and aeronautics missions, such as environmental monitoring, satellite communications testing and aviation safety research. It can fly up to 40,000 feet high and reach speeds faster than 500 miles per hour, which makes it perfect for studying commercial airline safety issues.

"This saved taxpayers millions of dollars compared to the cost of a new aircraft." Workers at the Navy's Fleet Readiness Center - Southeast and a Boeing facility in Fla. enhanced the plane by adding commercial satellite communications, global positioning navigation and weather radar systems. They installed research equipment racks in what was once the plane's bomb bay. And they gave it a shiny blue-and-white NASA paint job. With these new features, NASA's S-3B Viking is equipped to conduct science and aeronautics missions, such as environmental monitoring, satellite communications testing and aviation safety research. It can fly up to 40,000 feet high and reach speeds faster than 500 miles per hour, which makes it perfect for studying commercial airline safety issues. The S-3B Viking was built to take off and land on carrier ships, fly into enemy territory and take out threatening submarines. It's rugged, fast and powerful, but its fighting days are numbered.Though the United States Navy is slowly decommissioning the fleet, one S-3B is still flying in hostile conditions. Its next mission? Venture into hazardous weather to study a phenomenon that has caused more than 100 commercial aircraft engines to fail, stall or temporarily lose power.Engineers from NASA's Glenn Research Center, Boeing and the Navy have combined forces to transform the S-3B into a state-of-the-art NASA research aircraft.

On Tuesday April 1,2003 GOES-12 (Formerly Referred to as GOES-M) replaced GOES-8 as theoperational GOES East Satellite. NOAA deactivated the satellite on May5, 2004 and will boost it into an orbit 350 kilometers above itsoriginal geostationary position, where it will be disposed safely inthree controlled burns.GOES I-M represented the next generation of meteorological satellitesand introduces two new features. The first feature, flexible scan,offers small-scale area imaging that lets meteorologists take picturesof local weather trouble spots. This allows them to improve short-termforecasts over local areas. The second feature, simultaneous andindependent imaging and sounding, is designed to allow weatherforecasters to use multiple measurements of weather phenomena toincrease the accuracy of their forecasts.Each satellite in the series carries two major instruments: an Imagerand a Sounder. These instruments acquire high resolution visible andinfrared data, as well as temperature and moisture profiles of theatmosphere. They continuously transmit these data to ground terminalswhere the data are processed for rebroadcast to primary weatherservices both in the United States and around the world, including theglobal research community.The GOES I-M mission ran from the mid-1990s into thefirst decade of the 21st century. Each element of the mission hasbeen designed to meet all in-orbit performance requirements for atleast five years.The GOES I-M system performed the following basic functions:+ Acquisition, processing, and dissemination of imaging andsounding data.+ Acquisition and dissemination of Space Environment Monitor(SEM) data.+ Reception and relay of data from ground-based Data CollectionPlatforms (DCPs) that are situated in carefully selected urban andremote areas to the NOAA Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) station.+ Continuous relay of Weather Facsimile (WEFAX) and other data tousers, independent of all other functions.+ Relay of distress signals from people, aircraft, or marine vesselsto the search and rescue ground stations of the Search and RescueSatellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) system.GOES provides the instantaneous relay functions for the SARSAT system.A dedicated search and rescue transponder on board GOES is designed todetect emergency distress signals originating from Earth-basedsources. These unique identification signals are normally combinedwith signals received by a low-Earth orbiting satellite system andrelayed to a search and rescue ground terminal. The combined data areused to perform effective search and rescue operations.The GOES I-M system serves a region covering the central and easternPacific Ocean; North, Central, and South America; and the central andwestern Atlantic Ocean. Pacific coverage includes Hawaii and the Gulfof Alaska. This is accomplished by two satellites, GOES West locatedat 135 west longitude and GOES East at 75 west longitude. A commonground station, the CDA station located at Wallops, Virginia,supports the interface to both satellites. The NOAA SatelliteOperations Control Center (SOCC), in Suitland, Maryland, providesspacecraft scheduling, health and safety monitoring, and engineeringanalyses.Delivery of products involves ground processing of the raw instrumentdata for radiometric calibration and Earth location information, andretransmission to the satellite for relay to the data user community.The processed data are received at the control center and disseminatedto the National Weather Service's (NWS) National MeteorologicalCenter, Camp Springs, Maryland, and NWS forecast offices, includingthe National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida, and the National SevereStorms Forecast Center, Kansas City, Missouri. Processed data are alsoreceived by Department of Defense installations, universities, andnumerous private commercial users.MAIN SPACECRAFT DESIGN ELEMENTSMission life 5 years, minimumDimensions Main body 2 meter (7 foot) cube Deployed length 27 meters (88 feet)Weight 2100 kg (4600 lb)Orbit Geosynchronous Altitude 36,000 km (22,000 mi) Longitude 75W and 135W Latitude equatorial, within 0.5 degreePower 1050 watts @ 42 volts, solar array; batterybackupLaunch vehicle Atlas-I/Centaur (GOES-I/K), Atlas-II/Centaur(GOES-L/M)Communications Imager and Sounder in GVAR format at 2.1Mbits/secGOES-I/M IMAGERThe GOES Imager is a multi-channel instrument designed to senseradiant and solar-reflected energy from sampled areas of theEarth.

History: NOAA and its predecessor agencies, the Environmental Science Services Administration and the Weather Bureau, have had the Federal civilian responsibilities for monitoring and documenting the climate of the United States, including solar radiation and many other weather elements required by the solar energy technology user. The solar radiation monitoring network has existed for about 75 years with varying numbers of stations. In the 1960's about 60 NOAA stations and 30 cooperative stations were reporting solar radiation data to the National Climatic Center (NCC) in Asheville, N.C. In addition, State, local, and private organizations were making measurements with varying degrees of regularity and quality. These non-NOAA networks continue and, if anything, have increased in number, and with DOE help some of their data will be archived and published by the NCC. Network Centers: The current network consists of 39 stations of which 35 are in the contiguous U.S. The remaining are in Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam. All stations are equipped to operate both a pyranometer and pyrheliometer.

The aircraft is capable of operating from rough, dirt strips and is the prime transport for paradropping troops and equipment into hostile areas. Basic and specialized versions perform a diversity of roles, including airlift support, DEW Line and Arctic ice resupply, aeromedical missions, aerial spray missions, fire-fighting duties for the US Forest Service, and natural disaster relief missions. In recent years, they have been used to bring humanitarian relief to many countries, including Haiti, Bosnia, Somalia, and Rwanda.Four decades have elapsed since the Air Force issued its original design specification, yet the remarkable C-130 remains in production. The turbo-prop, high-wing, versatile 'Herc' has accumulated over 20 million flight hours. It is the preferred transport aircraft for many US Government services and over 60 foreign countries. The basic airframe has been modified to hundreds of different configurations to meet an ever-changing environment and mission requirement. The C-130 Hercules has unsurpassed versatility, performance, and mission effectiveness. Early C-130A, B, and D versions are now retired.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched. More than 10 satellites will be put into service within the next two years by Long-March launchers.

A magnetic tape recorderfor each camera was supplied for storing photographs while thesatellite was out of range of the ground station network.The antennas consisted of four rods from the base plate to serveas transmitters and one vertical rod from the center of the topplate to serve as a receiver.The craft was spin-stabilized and space-oriented (notEarth-oriented). Therefore, the cameras were only operated whilethey were pointing at the Earth when that portion of the Earthwas in sunlight.The video systems relayed thousands of pictures containingcloud-cover views of the Earth. Early photographs providedinformation concerning the structure of large-scale cloudregimes.For more information, link to'http://www.earth.nasa.gov/history/tiros/tiros1.html'[Summary provided by NASA]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: TIROS Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: TIROS Short_Name: TIROS Long_Name: Television Infrared Observation Satellite End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: TIROS-1 End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-14 Online_Resource: http://www.earth.nasa.gov/history/tiros/tiros1.html Sample_Image: http://www.nasm.si.edu/exhibitions/lae/images/LE410L8.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1960-04-01 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group AE-B Date=2019-09-17 User Id=sritz Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: null text: Atmosphere Explorer-B language code: en Date=2019-09-17 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=Explorer 32 was an aeronomy satellite which was designed to directly measure temperatures, composition, densities, and pressures in the upper atmosphere on a global basis.

Development started in 1952 and prototypes were ordered the next year. The first prototypes flew in 1955 and construction and testing continued until 1958 when an order for 100 was placed. This was reversed soon after due to a crash of the third prototype. Two additional prototypes were finished, the last in 1960, but the project was ended at this point.The basic structure of this aircraft was seen by Bill Lear and his team as a good starting point to the development of a business jet, which was originally intended to be called the SAAC-23. The wing with its distinctive tip fuel tanks and landing gear of the first Learjets were little changed from those used by the fighter prototypes. The tooling for building the aircraft was purchased and moved to Wichita, Kansas in 1962. On February 7, assembly of the first Learjet began. The next year, the company was renamed the Lear Jet Corporation.[Text provided by: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learjet ][Photo provided by: http://www.aerospace-technology.com ]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: LEARJET Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Aircraft Short_Name: LEARJET End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-07-14 Online_Resource: http://www.learjet.com/ Online_Resource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learjet Sample_Image: http://www.aerospace-technology.com/projects/learjet/images/Learjet45_2.jpgEnd_Group 2022-04-15 12:11:48.0 2013-07-02 UWKA Date=2013-07-02 User Id=saritz Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT User Note=Added definition.

The family was originally developed from the popular retractable-gear Cessna 210.The line's combination of a powerful engine, rugged construction and a large cabin has made these aircraft popular bush planes. Cessna describes the 206 as 'the sport-utility vehicle of the air.' These airplanes are also used for aerial photography, skydiving and other utility purposes. They can also be equipped with floats, amphibious floats and skis. Alternatively, they can be fitted with luxury appointments for use as a personal air transport.Between the start of production in 1962 and 2006 the total Cessna 205, 206 and 207 production has been 8509 aircraft so far.[Text and Photo provided by: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_206 ]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: CESSNA 206 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Aircraft Short_Name: CESSNA 206 End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-07-14 Online_Resource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_206 Online_Resource: http://www.cessna.com/ Sample_Image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Cessna.206h.stationair2.arp.jpg/800px-Cessna.206h.stationair2.arp.jpgEnd_Group Saildrone Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=Saildrone [6077a16e-dc27-47ba-b2b8-6ae731615925,826300] - Surface [e634b062-56ba-41a9-9c95-0cff642b5974,835902] Date=2019-01-18 User Id=sritz Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=Saildrone [6077a16e-dc27-47ba-b2b8-6ae731615925,368435] - USV [bf17bbac-0fc9-48b3-9b03-bd780ffe1eb0,368431] Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=DELETE User Note=Move Concepts System Note=delete broader relation Old Value=Saildrone [6077a16e-dc27-47ba-b2b8-6ae731615925,826300] - USV [bf17bbac-0fc9-48b3-9b03-bd780ffe1eb0,826698] Date=2019-01-18 User Id=sritz Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: Saildrone (https://www.saildrone.com) is a state-of-the-art, wind and solar powered unmanned surface vehicle (USV) capable of long distance deployments lasting up to 12 months.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched.

Today it remains popular with freight operators. The Lockheed L-188 Electra was developed to meet a 1954 American Airlines requirement for a domestic short to medium range 75 to 100 seat airliner. In June 1955 American awarded Lockheed an order for 35 such aircraft. Lockheed's design, the L-188, was a low wing, four turboprop powered aircraft. Many other airlines shared American's interest in the L-188, and by the time the first prototype flew on December 6 1957, the order book stood at 144. Service entry was with Eastern Airlines (due to a pilot's strike at American) on January 12 1959. However, any optimism Lockheed felt about a strong sales future would have been short lived, as a number of crashes in 1959 and 1960 (two of which where the aircraft broke up in flight) contributed to a number of order cancellations. As an interim measure following the crashes, speed restrictions were imposed on Electras. Investigations uncovered a design defect with the engine mountings where the wing would shake and eventually break up. Lockheed undertook a significant modification program where the nacelles, nacelle mountings and wing structure were strengthened, and the speed restrictions were eventually lifted in 1961. After that the Electra proved reliable and popular in service, but the damage had been done and production wound up in 1961 after 170 had been built. Lockheed built two basic versions of the Electra. The L-188A was the basic production aircraft, and accounted for most Electra sales. The L-188C entered service with KLM in 1959 and had greater fuel capacity and higher weights, and thus improved payload range performance. The Electra also forms the basis for the hugely successful P-3 Orion long range maritime surveillance aircraft of which more than 600 have been built. Most Electras currently in service are configured as freighters. From 1967 Lockheed converted 41 Electras to freighters or convertible freighter/passenger aircraft, fitting a strengthened floor and a large cargo door forward of the wing on the left side. Other companies have also converted Electras to freighters. However, a small number remain in passenger service.

The primary objective was to provide global daytime and nighttime direct readout real-time cloudcover data on a daily basis. The sun-synchronous spacecraft was also capable of supplying global atmospheric temperature soundings and very high resolution infrared cloudcover data for selected areas in either a direct readout or a tape-recorder mode. A secondary objective was to obtain global solar-proton flux data on a real-time daily basis. The sensors were mounted on the satellite baseplate with their optical axes directed vertically earthward. The nearly cubical spacecraft measured 1 by 1 by 1.2 m. The satellite was equipped with three curved solar panels that were folded during launch and deployed after orbit was achieved. Each panel measured over 4.2 m in length when unfolded and was covered with approximately 3500 solar cells measuring 2 by 2 cm. The dynamics and attitude control system maintained desired spacecraft orientation through gyroscopic principles incorporated into the satellite design. Earth orientation of the satellite body was maintained by taking advantage of the precession induced from a momentum flywheel so that the satellite body precession rate of one revolution per orbit provided the desired 'earth-looking' attitude. Minor adjustments in attitude and orientation were made by means of magnetic coils and by varying the speed of the momentum flywheel. The primary sensors consisted of a Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR), Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR), and a Scanning Radiometer (SR).

Each panel measured over 4.2 m in length when unfolded and was covered with approximately 3500 solar cells measuring 2 by 2 cm. The dynamics and attitude control system maintained desired spacecraft orientation through gyroscopic principles incorporated into the satellite design. Earth orientation of the satellite body was maintained by taking advantage of the precession induced from a momentum flywheel so that the satellite body precession rate of one revolution per orbit provided the desired 'earth-looking' attitude. Minor adjustments in attitude and orientation were made by means of magnetic coils and by varying the speed of the momentum flywheel. The primary sensors consisted of a Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR), Vertical Temperature Profile Radiometer (VTPR), and a Scanning Radiometer (SR). The spacecraft became the operational ITOS spacecraft on March 19, 1974. Operations terminated in August 1976.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS.

The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015.

The THEMIS probes will line up over North America once every four days. Over the mission’s two-year lifetime, the probes should be able to observe some 30 substorms.THEMIS is the fifth medium-class mission under NASA's Explorer Program, which was conceived to provide frequent flight opportunities for world-class scientific investigations from space within the Heliophysics and Astrophysics science areas. The Explorers Program Office at Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., manages this NASA-funded mission.

This handy twin-jet utility plane has been used for many purposes: a four-passenger executive transport, light priority cargo and for radar and navigational training. The T-39 Sabreliner is a low wing, twin jet aircraft. The cockpit and cabin compartments are pressurized and soundproofed for high altitude flight. Power is supplied by two Pratt and Whitney, J60 gas turbine engines located on each side of the aft fuselage. The rated sea level static thrust of each engine is 3,000 pounds at military power. The T-39 was developed by North American Aviation Inc. as a private venture to meet a USAF requirement for a twin jet utility trainer. The prototype T-39 made its first flight on September 16, 1958. In January 1959, the USAF placed a production order and on June 30, 1960, the first production T-39A made its initial flight. In all, 143 T-39As and 6 T-39Bs were built for the USAF. Another 62 T-39 variants were produced for the Navy. In July 1961, the Navy ordered ten of North American’s Model NA-277 to train radar operators. In that order the aircraft was designated T3J-1, but by the time the first one was delivered in 1962, the designation had been changed to T-39D. A total of 52 additional aircraft were accepted. After the bulk of military contracts had been met, the Sabreliner entered the commercial market where it became a highly successful executive jet transport.

The modern rakish lines of the new twin were backed up by innovative features such as engine exhaust thrust augmentor tubes and the storage of all fuel in tip tanks. Deliveries commenced in late 1954.The first significant upgrade to the 310 line came with the 310C of 1959, which introduced more powerful 195kW (260hp) IO-470-D engines. The 310D of 1960 featured swept back vertical tail surfaces. An extra cabin window was added with the 310F. A development of the 310F was the turbocharged 320 Skyknight, with TSIO-470-B engines and a fourth cabin side-window. The Skyknight was in production between 1961 and 1969 (the 320D, E and F were named Executive Skyknight), when it was replaced by the similar Turbo 310.The 310G introduced the 'stabila-tip' tip tanks, while the 310K replaced the rear two windows on each side with a single unit. Subsequent significant developments include the 310Q and turbocharged T310Q with redesigned rear cabin with a skylight window, and the final 310R and T310R, identifiable for their lengthened noses. Production ended in 1980.USAF military versions were the L-27A (310A) and L-27B (310M) Blue Canoe, later redesignated U-3A and U-3B.

They surveyed pilots and operators of other brands of agricultural aircraft to see what features and capabilities these operators were looking for. The resulting aircraft was a conventional single-seat, piston-powered, strut-braced low-winged agricultural airplane.The 188 is the only single-engined Cessna design that does not have a high-wing.The Cessna 188 borrowed heavily from the Cessna 180, the initial version using the same tail cone and fin structure as well as the same Continental O-470-R 230hp (170kW) powerplant. The 188’s airframe is predominantly built from 2024-T3 aluminum, with the chemical hopper constructed from fibreglass. The fuselage is of semi-monocoque construction and is pressurized on later models (using the dynamic pressure resulting from the aircraft's forward speed) to reduce induction of chemicals into the airframe.The Cessna 188 was first flown on 19 February 1965. The aircraft was certified and entered production in February 1966, with 241 aircraft delivered the first year.The initial design of the Cessna 188 was so successful that over its 17-year production run the basic airframe remained unchanged. Only the engines and the agricultural products dispensing systems were upgraded, other than some minor changes to the ventilation systems.A total of 3967 Cessna 188s of all four variants were built during its production run.[Text and Photo provided by: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_188 ]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: CESSNA 188 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Aircraft Short_Name: CESSNA 188 End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-07-14 Online_Resource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_188 Online_Resource: http://www.cessna.com/ Sample_Image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4e/CessnaA188BAGtruckC-GSWZ.jpgEnd_Group CESSNA 172 SKYHAWK Date=2022-02-20 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=The Cessna 172 Skyhawk is a four-seat, single-engine, high-wing airplane. More Cessna 172s have been built than any other aircraft. It is probably the most popular flight training aircraft in the world. Measured by its longevity and popularity, the Cessna 172 is the most successful mass produced light aircraft in history. The first production models were delivered in 1956 and they are still in production as of 2008; more than 43,000 have been built.[1] The Skyhawk's main competitors have been the Beechcraft Musketeer and Grumman AA-5 series (neither in production), the Piper Cherokee and, more recently, the Diamond DA40. The Cessna 172 started life as a tricycle landing gear upgrade from the taildragger Cessna 170, with a basic level of standard equipment. The first flight of the prototype was in November 1955. The 172 became an overnight sales success and over 1400 were built in 1956, its first full year of production. Early 172s were similar in appearance to the 170, with the same straight aft fuselage and tall gear legs, although the 172 had a straight vertical tail while the 170 had a rounded fin and rudder. Later 172 versions incorporated revised landing gear and the sweptback tail which is still in use today.The final aesthetic development in the mid-1960s, was a lowered rear deck that allowed an aft window. Cessna advertised this added rear visibility as "Omni-Vision" . This airframe configuration has remained almost unchanged since then, except for updates in avionics and engines, including the Garmin G1000 glass cockpit in 2005. Production had been halted in the mid-1980s, but was resumed in 1996 with the 160 hp (120 kW) Cessna 172R Skyhawk and was supplemented in 1998 by the 180 hp (135 kW) Cessna 172S Skyhawk SP.

The geodetic instrumentation systems included (1) four optical beacons, (2) two C-band radar transponders, (3) a passive radar reflector, (4) a sequential collation of range radio range transponder, (5) a Goddard range and range rate transponder, (6) laser reflectors, and (7) Doppler beacons. Non-geodetic systems included a laser detector and a Minitrack interferometer beacon. The objectives of the spacecraft were to optimize optical station visibility periods and to provide complementary data for inclination-dependent terms established by the Explorer 29 (GEOS 1) gravimetric studies. The spacecraft was placed into a retrograde orbit to accomplish these objectives. Operational problems occurred in the main power system, optical beacon flash system, and the spacecraft clock, and adjustments in scheduling resulted in nominal operations.Auxiliary Information Launch Date and Time : 1968-01-11 16:19:00 Epoch Date and Time : 1977-02-28 Orbit Type : Geocentric Apogee(km) : 1570.

It was the first successful active spacecraft of the National Geodetic Satellite Program. Instrumentation included (1) four optical beacons, (2) laser reflectors, (3) a radio range transponder, (4) Doppler beacons, and (5) a range and range rate transponder. These were designed to operate simultaneously to fulfill the objectives of locating observation points (geodetic control stations) in a three dimensional earth center-of-mass coordinate system within 10 m of accuracy, of defining the structure of the earth's irregular gravitational field and refining the locations and magnitudes of the large gravity anomalies, and of comparing results of the various systems onboard the spacecraft to determine the most accurate and reliable system. Acquisition and recording of data were the responsibility of the GSFC Space Tracking and Data Acquisitions Network (STADAN). Ten major observing networks were used.Auxiliary Information Launch Date and Time : 1965-11-06 18:43:00 Epoch Date and Time : 1978-12-30 Orbit Type : Geocentric Apogee(km) : 2275. Perigee(km) : 1113.

This idea was born during the investigation of the possible application of radio-astronomy technologies for aeronavigation. Further investigations were conducted in a number of the Soviet institutions to increase the accuracy of navigation definitions, global support, daily application and independence from weather conditions. The research results were used in 1963 for R&D project on the first Soviet low-orbit “Cicada” system. In 1967 the first navigation Soviet satellite "Cosmos-192" was launched. The navigation satellite provided continuous radio navigation signal transmission on 150 and 400 MHz during its active lifetime. The “Cicada” system of four satellites was commissioned in 1979. The navigation satellites were placed into circular orbits 1,000 km high with an inclination of 83 ° and equal distribution of orbital planes to the equator. It allowed users to acquire one of the satellites every hour and a half or two and fix the position within 5-6 min of a navigation session. The navigation system “Cicada” used one-way user-to-satellite range measurements. Along with improvement of the satellite onboard systems and navigation equipment much attention was given to enhancing accuracy of determining and predicting parameters of the navigation satellite orbits. Later, receiving measuring equipment was disposed on the “Cicada” satellites to detect distress radiobeacons. The satellites received these signals and rebroadcast them to special ground stations where the computation of the exact coordinates of the emergency objects (ships, aircraft, etc.) was held. The “Cicada” satellites tracking distress radiobecons formed “Cospas” system that together with the US-French-Canadian "Sarsat" system built an integrated search and rescue service that saved several thousands of lives. The “Cicada” space navigation system (and its “Cicada-M” modernization) was designed for navigation support of military users and had been in use since 1976. In 2008 “Cicada” and “Cicada-M” users started to use GLONASS system and the operation of those systems was halted. It was impossible for the low-orbit systems to meet requirements of a great number of users. Successful operation of the low-orbit satellite navigation systems by the marine users attracted widespread attention to satellite navigation. A general-purpose navigation system was needed to meet the requirements of the great majority of prospective users. Based on the all-round research it was decided to choose the orbital constellation consisting of 24 satellites equally distributed in three orbital planes inclined at 64.8° to the equator. The GLONASS satellites are placed in roughly circular orbits with the nominal orbit altitude 19,100 km and an orbital period of 11 hours, 15 minutes, 44 seconds. Due to the period value it became possible to create a sustainable orbital system that unlike GPS does not require supporting correcting pulses during its active lifetime. The nominal inclination ensures global availability on the territory of the Russian Federation even when several SVs are not operational. Two challenges have been faced for designing a high-orbit navigation system. The first one dealt with mutual synchronized satellite timescales with the accuracy of billionths of a second (nanoseconds). It became possible because of high-orbit onboard caesium frequency standards with nominal stability at 10-13 and ground hydrogen frequency standard with nominal stability at 10-14 and also because of ground facilities of time scale comparison with error of 3-5 ns. The second challenge addressed high-precision determination and prediction of navigation satellite orbit parameters. This issue was solved with scientific research on second order factors of infinitesimals, such as light pressure, irregularities of the Earth rotation and polar motions and etc. Flight tests of the Russian high orbit satellite navigation system, called GLONASS, were started in October, 1982 with the launch of “Kosmos-1413” satellite. The GLONASS system was formally declared operational in 1993. In 1995 it was brought to a fully operational constellation (24 GLONASS satellites of the first generation). A great drawback that should have been focused on consisted in the lack of civil navigation equipment and civil users. Reduction in funding for space industry in 1990 led to degradation of the GLONASS constellation. In 2002 the GLONASS constellation consisted of 7 satellites that was insufficient for navigation support of the Russian territory even with limited availability. GLONASS was behind GPS in accuracy characteristics, SVs active lifetime comprised 3-4 years. language code: en Date=2024-05-01 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Global Navigation Satellite System-K language code: en Date=2024-05-01 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=GLONASS K [71e4da18-db10-4218-b255-14433a253e45,1663606] - GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS) [960f8eb8-6ca9-47d3-ae4a-7e21ebfad4c0,1653654] The first proposal to use satellites for navigation was made by V.S.Shebashevich in 1957.

The GOES-NEXT series is a joint effort on the part of NASA and NOAA to provide continued operational monitoring of weather systems primarily over the United States, distribute meteorological data to regional and national weather offices within the USA, contribute to the development of an environmental data collection network, contribute to the search and rescue program, improve the capability for forcasting and provide real-time warnings of solar distrubances, and to extend knowledge and understanding of atmospheric processes to improve short and long-term weather forecasts.The GOES-NEXT series extends the capabilities of the previous GOES 1-7 spacecraft. The GOES I-M spacecraft will be placed over the equator at 135 deg West or 75 deg West. The design allows unobstructed views of the Earth for operational coverage by the spacecraft sensors. The spacecraft configuration is a compact box-shaped main body that carries the Earth-observing instruments, a continuous-drive solar array attached to the south panel through a yoke assembly, and a solar pointing instrument gimbal mounted on the solar panel yoke. The main body accomodates the sensors, electronics, and support subsystems. The communication antennas, except the Tracking, Telemetry, and Command (TT&C) antenna, are hard-mounted to the Earth-facing panel. The Propulsion Module consists of the fuel and oxidizer tanks for the bipropellant propulsion subsystem mounted on the central cylinder. The Attitude and Orbit Control Substem (AOCS) provides attitude control of the spacecraft. The AOCS consists of the sensors, electronics, and the actuators. The GOES power is generated from the solar array and two 12 A-hr batteries. Power is automatically regulated during solar eclipses. A conical shaped solar sail at the end of a 58-foot boom balances torque caused by solar radiation. The main body of the spacecraft is a 2-meter cube. In its deployed orbit configuration, the overall length is about 27 meters. Initial mass was about 4640 pounds, including fuel. Design lifetime is about five years.The Image Navigation/Registration (INR) system provides Imager and Sounder data products in real-time to users. The Communications, Command, and Data Handling subsystem is comprised of antennas, receivers, transponders, transmitters, data encoders and encryptors and multiplexers. The Tracking Telemetry and Command (TT&C) subsystem provides the necessary monitor and command link between the spacecraft and the ground stations.The GOES-NEXT instruments consist of the following: (1) Earth Imaging System, a 5-channel visible and infrared radiometer which provides Earth imagery 24 hours a day; (2) Sounding System, a 19-channel discrete-filter radiometer for obtaining atmospheric temperature and moisture soundings; (3) a Space Environment Monitor (SEM), which consists of a magnetic field sensor, a solar X-ray sensor, an energetic particle sensor (EPS), and a High Energy Proton and Alpha Detector (HEPAD); (4) a Search and Rescue subsystem (SARSAT), which receives signals from 406 MHz distress beacons and relays them to the ground; (5) a Data Collection System (DCS) for collecting and relaying real-time information from Data Collection Platforms (DCPs) such as buoys, balloons, remote weather stations, ships, and aircraft; and (6) a Weather Facsimile (WEFAX) system which relays processed weather imagary from the Wallops Island station to the user community.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006.

They circle the Earth in a geosynchronousorbit, which means they orbit the equatorial plane of the Earth at aspeed matching the Earth's rotation. This allows them to hovercontinuously over one position on the surface. The geosynchronousplane is about 35,800 km (22,300 miles) above the Earth, high enoughto allow the satellites a full-disc view of the Earth. Because theystay above a fixed spot on the surface, they provide a constant vigilfor the atmospheric 'triggers' for severe weather conditions such astornadoes, flash floods, hail storms, and hurricanes. When theseconditions develop the GOES satellites are able to monitor stormdevelopment and track their movements.GOES satellite imagery is also used to estimate rainfall during thethunderstorms and hurricanes for flash flood warnings, as well asestimates snowfall accumulations and overall extent of snowcover. Such data help meteorologists issue winter storm warnings andspring snow melt advisories. Satellite sensors also detect ice fieldsand map the movements of sea and lake ice.NASA launched the first GOES for NOAA in 1975 and followed it withanother in 1977. Currently, the United States is operating GOES-10 andGOES-12. (GOES-9, which is partially operational, is being provided tothe Japanese Meteorological Agency to replace their failinggeostationary satellite.) GOES-11 is being stored in orbit as areplacement for GOES-12 or GOES-10 in the event of failure.Additional Information on GOES Satellites:'http://www.oso.noaa.gov/goes/'To view a 3D orbit of GOES satellites, observe the J Tracksatellite tracking web page at:'http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/realtime/jtrack/'[Summary Extracted from the NOAA Office of Satellite Operations Home Page]Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GOES Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) Short_Name: GOES Long_Name: NOAA Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: GOES-1 Short_Name: GOES-2 Short_Name: GOES-3 Short_Name: GOES-4 Short_Name: GOES-5 Short_Name: GOES-6 Short_Name: GOES-7 Short_Name: GOES-8 Short_Name: GOES-9 Short_Name: GOES-10 Short_Name: GOES-11 Short_Name: GOES-12 Short_Name: GOES-13 Short_Name: GOES-N End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: SEM Short_Name: SAR Short_Name: HEPAD Short_Name: MAGNETOMETERS Short_Name: VAS Short_Name: VISSR Short_Name: GOES I-M SOUNDER Short_Name: GOES I-M IMAGER Short_Name: SXI End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 35,800 km (22,300 miles) Orbit_Inclination: 0.41 degrees Period: 1,436 minutes Repeat_Cycle: GOES flies in an orbit above the equator at the same rate as the equator turns -- one cycle per day.

The solar paddles and the control system were connected to the sensormount by a truss structure, giving the satellite the appearance of an oceanbuoy. Nimbus-4 was nearly 3.7 m tall, 1.45 m in diameter at the base, and about3 m across with solar paddles extended. The torus-shaped sensor mount, whichformed the satellite base, housed the electronics equipment and batterymodules. The lower surface of the torus ring provided mounting space forsensors and telemetry antennas. An H-frame structure mounted within the centerof the torus provided support for the larger experiments and tape recorders.Mounted on the control system housing, which was on top of the spacecraft, weresun sensors, horizon scanners, gas nozzles for attitude control, and a commandantenna. Use of an advanced attitude-control subsystem permitted thespacecraft's orientation to be controlled to within plus or minus 1 degree forall three axes (pitch, roll, and yaw).Primary experiments consisted of an image dissector camera system for providingdaytime cloudcover pictures both in real-time and recorded modes,temperature-humidity infrared radiometer (THIR) for measuring daytime andnighttime surface and cloudtop temperatures as well as the water vapor contentof the upper atmosphere, infrared interferometer spectrometer (IRIS) formeasuring the emission spectra of the earth/atmosphere system, satelliteinfrared spectrometer (SIRS) for determining the vertical profiles oftemperature and water vapor in the atmosphere, a monitor of ultraviolet solarenergy (MUSE) for detecting solar UV radiation, a backscatter ultraviolet (BUV)detector for monitoring the vertical distribution and total amount ofatmospheric ozone on a global scale, a filter wedge spectrometer (FWS) foraccurate measurement of IR radiance as a function of wavelength from theearth/atmosphere system, a selective chopper radiometer (SCR) for determiningthe temperatures of six successive 10-km layers in the atmosphere fromabsorption measurements in the 15-micrometer CO2 band, and an interrogation,recording, and location system (IRLS) for locating, interrogating, recording,and retransmitting meteorological and geophysical data from remote collectionstations. The spacecraft performed well until April 14, 1971, when attitudeproblems started. The experiments then operated on a limited time basis untilSeptember 30, 1980.__________Taken from the NSSDC System for Information Retrieval and Storage (SIRS).

The 55 kg payload includes two magnetometers, two solar wind plasma instruments, a unified radio/plasma wave instrument, three energetic charged particle instruments, an interstellar neutral gas sensor, a solar X-ray/cosmic gamma-ray burst detector, and a cosmic dust sensor. The communications systems is also used to study the solar corona and to search for gravitational waves. Secondary objectives included interplanetary and planetary physics investigations during the initial Earth-Jupiter phase and investigations in the Jovian magnetosphere. The spacecraft used a Jupiter swingby in Feb. 1992 to transfer to a heliospheric orbit with high heliocentric inclination, and will pass over the rotational south pole of the sun in mid-1994 at 2 AU, and over the north pole in mid-1995. A second solar orbit will take Ulysses again over the south and north poles in years 2000 and 2001, respectively. The spacecraft is powered by a single radio-isotope generator. It is spin stabilized at a rate of 5 rpm and its high-gain antenna points continuously to the earth.

The spin-stabilized spacecraft carried (1) a visible infrared spin-scan radiometer (VISSR) to provide high-quality day/night cloudcover data and to take radiance-derived temperatures of the earth/atmosphere system, (2) a meteorological data collection and transmission system to relay processed data from central weather facilities to APT-equipped regional stations and to collect and retransmit data from remotely located earth-based platforms, and (3) a space environment monitor (SEM) system to measure proton, electron, and solar X-ray fluxes and magnetic fields. The cylindrically shaped spacecraft measured 190.5 cm in diameter and 230 cm in length, exclusive of a magnetometer that extended an additional 83 cm beyond the cylinder shell. The primary structural members were a honeycombed equipment shelf and thrust tube. The VISSR telescope was mounted on the equipment shelf and viewed the earth through a special aperture in the side of the spacecraft. A support structure extended radially out from the thrust tube and was affixed to the solar panels, which formed the outer walls of the spacecraft and provided the primary source of electrical power. Located in the annulus-shaped space between the thrust tube and the solar panels were stationkeeping and dynamics control equipment, batteries, and most of the SEM equipment. Proper spacecraft attitude and spin rate (approximately 100 rpm) were maintained by two separate sets of jet thrusters mounted around the spacecraft equator and activated by ground command. The spacecraft used both UHF-band and S-band frequencies in its telemetry and command subsystem.

The primary structural members were a honeycombed equipment shelf and thrust tube. The VISSR telescope was mounted on the equipment shelf and viewed the Earth through a special aperture in the side of the spacecraft. A support structure extended radially out from the thrust tube and was affixed to the solar panels, which formed the outer walls of the spacecraft and provided the primary source of electrical power. Located in the annulus-shaped space between the thrust tube and the solar panels were stationkeeping and dynamics control equipment, batteries, and most of the SEM equipment. Proper spacecraft attitude and spin rate (approximately 100 rpm) were maintained by two separate sets of jet thrusters mounted around the spacecraft equator and activated by ground command. The spacecraft used both UHF-band and S-band frequencies in its telemetry and command subsystem. A low-power VHF transponder provided telemetry and command during launch and then served as a backup for the primary subsystem once the spacecraft attained orbit. The spin-stabilized spacecraft carried a visible infrared spin-scan radiometer atmospheric sounder, meteorological data collection and transmission system, space environment monitor, energetic particle monitor, and a magnetic field monitor.

A support structure extended radially out from the thrust tube and was affixed to the solar panels, which formed the outer walls of the spacecraft and provided the primary source of electrical power. Located in the annulus-shaped space between the thrust tube and the solar panels were stationkeeping and dynamics control equipment, batteries, and most of the SEM equipment. Proper spacecraft attitude and spin rate (approximately 100 rpm) were maintained by two separate sets of jet thrusters mounted around the spacecraft equator and activated by ground command. The spacecraft used both UHF-band and S-band frequencies in its telemetry and command subsystem. A low-power VHF transponder provided telemetry and command during launch and then served as a backup for the primary subsystem once the spacecraft attained orbit. The spin-stabilized spacecraft carried a visible infrared spin-scan radiometer atmospheric sounder, meteorological data collection and transmission system, space environment monitor, and a biaxial fluxgate magnetometer. It operated at 100 degrees West initially, but replaced GOES 3 at 135 degrees West in March 1981. When GOES 5 VAS experienced a failure on July 30, 1984, GOES 4 was reactivated by NOAA to provide GOES 1 VISSR data relay services to western users.

GOES-9, which is currently partially operational, is being provided to the Japanese Meteorological Agency to replace their failing geostationary satellite. GOES I-M represents the next generation of meteorological satellites and introduces two new features. The first feature, flexible scan, offers small-scale area imaging that lets meteorologists take pictures of local weather trouble spots. This allows them to improve short-term forecasts over local areas. The second feature, simultaneous and independent imaging and sounding, is designed to allow weather forecasters to use multiple measurements of weather phenomena to increase the accuracy of their forecasts. Each satellite in the series carries two major instruments: an Imager and a Sounder. These instruments acquire high resolution visible and infrared data, as well as temperature and moisture profiles of the atmosphere. They continuously transmit these data to ground terminals where the data are processed for rebroadcast to primary weather services both in the United States and around the world, including the global research community. The GOES I-M mission is scheduled to run from the mid-1990s into the first decade of the 21st century. Each element of the mission has been designed to meet all in-orbit performance requirements for at least five years. The GOES I-M system performs the following basic functions: + Acquisition, processing, and dissemination of imaging and sounding data. + Acquisition and dissemination of Space Environment Monitor (SEM) data. + Reception and relay of data from ground-based Data Collection Platforms (DCPs) that are situated in carefully selected urban and remote areas to the NOAA Command and Data Acquisition (CDA) station. + Continuous relay of Weather Facsimile (WEFAX) and other data to users, independent of all other functions. + Relay of distress signals from people, aircraft, or marine vessels to the search and rescue ground stations of the Search and Rescue Satellite Aided Tracking (SARSAT) system. GOES provides the instantaneous relay functions for the SARSAT system. A dedicated search and rescue transponder on board GOES is designed to detect emergency distress signals originating from Earth-based sources. These unique identification signals are normally combined with signals received by a low-Earth orbiting satellite system and relayed to a search and rescue ground terminal. The combined data are used to perform effective search and rescue operations. The GOES I-M system serves a region covering the central and eastern Pacific Ocean; North, Central, and South America; and the central and western Atlantic Ocean. Pacific coverage includes Hawaii and the Gulf of Alaska. This is accomplished by two satellites, GOES West located at 135 west longitude and GOES East at 75 west longitude. A common ground station, the CDA station located at Wallops, Virginia, supports the interface to both satellites. The NOAA Satellite Operations Control Center (SOCC), in Suitland, Maryland, provides spacecraft scheduling, health and safety monitoring, and engineering analyses. Delivery of products involves ground processing of the raw instrument data for radiometric calibration and Earth location information, and retransmission to the satellite for relay to the data user community. The processed data are received at the control center and disseminated to the National Weather Service's (NWS) National Meteorological Center, Camp Springs, Maryland, and NWS forecast offices, including the National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida, and the National Severe Storms Forecast Center, Kansas City, Missouri. Processed data are also received by Department of Defense installations, universities, and numerous private commercial users. *The GOES-9 satellite was replaced by GOES-10 in July 1998* MAIN SPACECRAFT DESIGN ELEMENTS Mission life 5 years, minimum Dimensions Main body 2 meter (7 foot) cube Deployed length 27 meters (88 feet) Weight 2100 kg (4600 lb) Orbit Geosynchronous Altitude 36,000 km (22,000 mi) Longitude 75W and 135W Latitude equatorial, within 0.5 degree Power 1050 watts @ 42 volts, solar array; battery backup Launch vehicle Atlas-I/Centaur (GOES-I/K), Atlas-II/Centaur (GOES-L/M) Communications Imager and Sounder in GVAR format at 2.1 Mbits/sec GOES-I/M IMAGER The GOES Imager is a multi-channel instrument designed to sense radiant and solar-reflected energy from sampled areas of the Earth. The multi-element spectral channels simultaneously sweep east-west and west-east along a north-to-south path by means of a two-axis mirror scan system. The instrument can produce full-Earth disc images, sector images that contain the edges of the Earth, and various sizes of area scans completely enclosed within the Earth scene using a new flexible scan system. Scan selection permits rapid continuous viewing of local areas for monitoring of mesoscale (regional) phenomena and accurate wind determination.

It is designed to provide data from which atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles, surface and cloud-top temperatures, and ozone distribution can be deduced by mathematical analysis. It operates independently of and simultaneously with the Imager, using a similarly flexible scan system. The Sounder's multi-element detector array assemblies simultaneously sample four separate fields or atmospheric columns. A rotating filter wheel, which brings spectral filters into the optical path of the detector array, provides the infrared channel definition.

A common ground station, the CDA station located at Wallops, Virginia, supports the interface to both satellites. The NOAA Satellite Operations Control Center (SOCC), in Suitland, Maryland, provides spacecraft scheduling, health and safety monitoring, and engineering analyses. Delivery of products involves ground processing of the raw instrument data for radiometric calibration and Earth location information, and retransmission to the satellite for relay to the data user community. The processed data are received at the control center and disseminated to the National Weather Service's (NWS) National Meteorological Center, Camp Springs, Maryland, and NWS forecast offices, including the National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida, and the National Severe Storms Forecast Center, Kansas City, Missouri. Processed data are also received by Department of Defense installations, universities, and numerous private commercial users. *The GOES-9 satellite was replaced by GOES-10 in July 1998* MAIN SPACECRAFT DESIGN ELEMENTS Mission life 5 years, minimum Dimensions Main body 2 meter (7 foot) cube Deployed length 27 meters (88 feet) Weight 2100 kg (4600 lb) Orbit Geosynchronous Altitude 36,000 km (22,000 mi) Longitude 75W and 135W Latitude equatorial, within 0.5 degree Power 1050 watts @ 42 volts, solar array; battery backup Launch vehicle Atlas-I/Centaur (GOES-I/K), Atlas-II/Centaur (GOES-L/M) Communications Imager and Sounder in GVAR format at 2.1 Mbits/sec GOES-I/M IMAGER The GOES Imager is a multi-channel instrument designed to sense radiant and solar-reflected energy from sampled areas of the Earth. The multi-element spectral channels simultaneously sweep east-west and west-east along a north-to-south path by means of a two-axis mirror scan system. The instrument can produce full-Earth disc images, sector images that contain the edges of the Earth, and various sizes of area scans completely enclosed within the Earth scene using a new flexible scan system. Scan selection permits rapid continuous viewing of local areas for monitoring of mesoscale (regional) phenomena and accurate wind determination.

It is designed to provide data from which atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles, surface and cloud-top temperatures, and ozone distribution can be deduced by mathematical analysis. It operates independently of and simultaneously with the Imager, using a similarly flexible scan system. The Sounder's multi-element detector array assemblies simultaneously sample four separate fields or atmospheric columns. A rotating filter wheel, which brings spectral filters into the optical path of the detector array, provides the infrared channel definition.

The spacecraft spin axis was perpendicular to theecliptic plane with a spin rate of 5 rpm, giving it a spin period of12 seconds. IMP-6 continued the study, begun by earlier IMPs, of theinterplanetary and outer magnetospheric regions by measuring energeticparticles, plasma, and electric and magnetic fields. A radio astronomyexperiment was also included in the spacecraft payload. The initialapogee point was near the earth-sun line. The solar-cell and chemical-battery powered spacecraft carried two transmitters. One continuouslytransmitted PCM encoder data at a 1600-bps information bit rate. Thesecond transmitter was used for transmission of VLF data and for ranginginformation. Three orthogonal pairs of dipole antennas were used forthe electric fields experiments, and one of these pairs was also usedfor the radio astronomy experiment. The members of the antenna pairalong the spacecraft spin axis extended 2.9 meter, the members of theantennal pair used in both the electric field and radio astronomyexperiments extended 45.5 meter, and the members of the third pair wereslightly unbalanced, extending 24.4 meter and 27.6 meter, respectively.All four elements perpendicular to the spin axis were to have extended45.5 meter. The spacecraft reentered the earth's atmosphere on October 2,1974, after a highly successful mission. The IMP (InterplanetaryMonitoring Platform) spacecraft exploration program was carried out bythe United States._____________________________________________________________Entry taken from: Hills, H.

BeiDou is the Chinese name of the Big Dipper constellation. The BeiDou-2 system will be based on its current regional Compass Satellite Navigation Experimental System (BeiDou-1). Although the program was initiated by China's military forces, China established an agency, namely CSNPC (China Satellite Navigation Project Center) in the timeframe 2006/7, to take charge of the research, building, and management of CNSS. The BeiDou-2 program was officially started in 2005 and announced by China in October 2006. China gave also to a proper name to the rest of the world of its BeiDou-2 system, namely CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System) - BeiDou literally means "Compass". The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015. China plans call also for a long-term and sustained navigation service and system performance for the global user community once the system is in full operation. 4) 5) In 2009, three BeiDou-2 spacecraft are planned to be launched. More than 10 satellites will be put into service within the next two years by Long-March launchers. Around 2011, the system will be capable to offer services on a regional scale. language code: en Date=2024-04-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: BeiDou Satellite 1d language code: en Date=2024-04-11 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=BeiDou-1D [7f789d0e-f5a1-4130-8d13-5391fc707577,1648457] - Beidou (China's Satellite Navigation System) [ef679d6a-a05b-4976-a236-ce2158b758ea,1638950] In the first decade of the 21st century, China is in the process of developing its own navigation satellite constellation known as CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System), or BeiDou-2 in its Chinese name.

OrbView-1's payload consists of two sensors: -an Optical Transient Detector (OTD) provided by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, and -an atmospheric monitoring instrument (GPS/MET) sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the University Consortium for Atmospheric Research. The OTD sensor maps atmospheric lighting strikes and has provided NASA with information important to the understanding of severe weather patterns. The GPS/MET sensor has proven that the signals from the GPS satellite constellation used for precision navigation can also be used to provide important atmospheric data. The success of the GPS/MET sensor has further validated the concept of using space-based sensors to improve worldwide weather prediction. The OrbView-1 program is the result of a unique government-industry partnership between ORBIMAGE and NASA.

Its primary objective is to study the dynamics of theEarth's magnetotail over a wide range of distance, extending from thenear-Earth region (8 Earth radii (Re) from the Earth) to the distant tail(about 200 Re). The GEOTAIL spacecraft was designed and built by ISAS and waslaunched on July 24, 1992.The Geotail mission measures global energy flow and transformation in themagnetotail to increase understanding of fundamental magnetospheric processes.This will include the physics of the magnetopause, the plasma sheet, andreconnection and neutral line formation (i.e., the mechanisms of input,transport, storage, release and conversion of energy in the magnetotail).Geotail, together with Wind, Polar, SOHO, and Cluster projects, constitute acooperative scientific satellite project designated the InternationalSolar-Terrestrial Physics (ISTP) program which aims at gaining improvedunderstanding of the physics of solar terrestrial relations.Geotail is a spin-stabilized spacecraft utilizing mechanically despun antennaswith a design lifetime of about four years. The nominal spin rate of thespacecraft is about 20 rpm around a spin axis maintained between 85 and 89 degto the ecliptic plane. Geotail is cylindrical, approximately 2.2 m in diameterand 1.6 m high with body-mounted solar cells. Geotail also has a two-hourback-up battery subsystem which operates when the spacecraft is in the Earth'sshadow.Real-time telemetry data transmitted in the X-band are received at the UsudaDeep Space Center (UDSC) in Japan. There are two tape recorders on board, eachwith a capacity of 450 Mbit which allow daily 24-hour data coverage. The dataare collected in playback mode by the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN).The Geotail mission is divided into two phases. During the two-year initialphase, the orbit apogee was kept on the nightside of the Earth by using theMoon's gravity in a series of double-lunar swing-by maneuvers that result inthe spacecraft spending most of its time in the distant magnetotail (maximumapogee about 200 Earth radii) with a period varying from one to four months.Then, starting in November 1994, there were a series of maneuvers to bring thespacecraft into its near-Earth orbit. This transition orbit lasted about threemonths with the apogee varying from 50 RE to 30 RE. The second phase isdedicated to the study of near-Earth magnetospheric processes, includingneutral line formation.The GEOTAIL mission consists of the following experiments:- Comprehensive Plasma Investigation (CPI)- Electric Fields Detector (EFD)- Energetic Particle and Ion Composition (EPIC)- High-Energy Particles (HEP)- Low-Energy Particles (LEP)- Magnetic Field Experiment- Plasma Waves Investigation (PWI)For more information, see:http://pwg.gsfc.nasa.gov/geotail.shtmlGroup: Platform_Details Entry_ID: GEOTAIL Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Solar/Space Observation Satellites Short_Name: GEOTAIL End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: GGS/Geotail Short_Name: GTL Short_Name: Geomagnetic Tail Lab Short_Name: ISTP/Geotail Short_Name: 22049 Short_Name: 1992-044A End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: MFE Short_Name: PWI Short_Name: LEP Short_Name: HEP Short_Name: EPIC Short_Name: EFD Short_Name: CPI-G End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 5.15 degrees - 7.45 degrees Period: 43 days - 49 days Perigee: 47,835 km - 51,024 km Apogee: 869,421 km - 191,340 km Orbit_Type: HEO > Highly Elliptical Orbit End_Group Online_Resource: http://pwg.gsfc.nasa.gov/geotail.shtml Online_Resource: http://www.stp.isas.ac.jp/geotail/ Sample_Image: http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/image/spacecraft/geotail.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1992-07-24 Launch_Site: Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center, USA Primary_Sponsor: ISAS, Japan Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group C-MAN Date=2021-11-18 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=C-MAN [7fdf83a9-e0b3-4bb2-a6f4-801078f62cc9,826427] - Surface [d93ffd52-5072-4736-b16a-cc4e5113e8b2,835898] Date=2022-02-20 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=The Coastal-Marine Automated Network (C-MAN) was established by NDBC for the NWS in the early 1980's.

It was the latest in the AdvancedTIROS-N (ATN) series and the design was based on the DefenseMeteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). Launched by the Titan II rocketfrom Vandenberg AFB, NOAA-K replaced the decommissioned NOAA 12in an afternoon equator-crossing orbit. It provided support to environmentalmonitoring by complementing the NOAA/NESS geostationarymeteorological satellite program (GOES). Instruments were flown forimaging and measurement of the Earth's atmosphere, its surface, and cloudcover, including Earth radiation, atmospheric ozone, aerosol distribution, seasurface temperature, vertical temperature and water profiles in thetroposphere and stratosphere; measurement of proton and electron flux atorbit altitude, and remote platform data collection, and for SARSAT. Theyincluded (1) an improved six-channel Advanced Very High ResolutionRadiometer/3 (AVHRR/3); (2) an improved High Resolution InfraredRadiation Sounder (HIRS/3); (3) the Search and Rescue Satellite AidedTracking System (S&R), which consists of the Search and RescureRepeater (SARR) and the Search and Rescue Processor (SARP-2); (4) theFrench/CNES-provided improved ARGOS Data Collection System (DCS-2);and (5) the Advanced Microwave Sounding Units (AMSUs), which replacedthe previous MSU and SSU instruments to become the first in the NOAAseries to support dedicated microwave measurements of temperature,moisture, surface and hydrological studies in cloudy regions where visibleand infrared instruments have decreased capability.Additional Information:http://www2.ncdc.noaa.gov/docs/intro.htmTo view a 3D orbit, observe the J track satellite tracking web page:http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/RealTime/JTrack/NOAA-K CHARACTERISTICSMain Body: 4.2m long, 1.88m diameterSolar Array: 2.73 by 6.14 mWeight: At liftoff 2231.7 kg (includes 756.7 kg of expendable fuel)Lifetime: Greater than 2 yearsLoad Power Requirements: 833 Watts for 0 degree sun angle 750 Watts for 80 degree sun angleOrbital Characteristics- Orbital Period: 101.20 m Inclination: 98.70 degrees Periapsis: 808.00 km Apoapsis: 824.00 kmInformation was adopted from NSSDC Master Catalog and the J TrackLiftoff web pages.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: NOAA-15 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: NOAA POES (Polar Orbiting Environmental Satellites) Short_Name: NOAA-15 Long_Name: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration-15 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: AMSU-B Short_Name: AMSU-A End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 807 km Orbit_Inclination: 98.5 deg Period: 101.1 End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-11-07 Online_Resource: http://www.oso.noaa.gov/poesstatus/spacecraftStatusSummary.asp?spacecraft=15 Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1998-05-13 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group AEM-3 AEM-3 (Applications Explorer Mission-3)Designation: 11604 / 79094ALaunch date: 30 Oct 1979Country of origin: United StatesMission Scientific: Earth magnetic field studyPerigee/Apogee: 352/561 kmInclination: 96.8ýPeriod: 93.7 minLaunch vehicle: Scout #101Decay: 11 Jun 1980Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: AEM-3 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: AEM (Applications Explorer Mission) Short_Name: AEM-3 Long_Name: Applications Explorer Mission-3 End_Group Group: Synonymous_Platform_Names Short_Name: Magsat End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: MAGNETOMETERS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 96.8 degrees Period: 93.7 min Perigee: 352 km Apogee: 561 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-08-22 Sample_Image: http://space.skyrocket.de/img_sat/magsat__2.jpg Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1979-10-30 Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2024-04-22 Compass-G2 Date=2024-04-22 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: In the first decade of the 21st century, China is in the process of developing its own navigation satellite constellation known as CNSS (Compass Navigation Satellite System), or BeiDou-2 in its Chinese name.

The new system will be a constellation of 35 satellites, which include 5 geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites and 30 medium Earth orbit (MEO) satellites, that will offer complete coverage of the globe. China has joined the UN-supported ICG (International Committee on GNSS) and has taken part in the ICG's Providers Forum (founded in Sept. 2007, Bangalore, India). The members of the Forum and their current and future systems include: China (CNSS), EU (Galileo, EGNOS), India (IRNSS, GAGAN), Japan (QZSS, MSAS), Russia (GLONASS), and USA (GPS, WAAS). The goal of the Providers Forum is to foster compatibility of the services/signals and interoperability among the various navigation systems for a better service to the user community. The Chinese plans call for a deployment of the full constellation by 2012. A more realistic timeframe for global service provision is probably 2015.

This idea was born during the investigation of the possible application of radio-astronomy technologies for aeronavigation. Further investigations were conducted in a number of the Soviet institutions to increase the accuracy of navigation definitions, global support, daily application and independence from weather conditions. The research results were used in 1963 for R&D project on the first Soviet low-orbit “Cicada” system. In 1967 the first navigation Soviet satellite "Cosmos-192" was launched. The navigation satellite provided continuous radio navigation signal transmission on 150 and 400 MHz during its active lifetime. The “Cicada” system of four satellites was commissioned in 1979. The navigation satellites were placed into circular orbits 1,000 km high with an inclination of 83 ° and equal distribution of orbital planes to the equator. It allowed users to acquire one of the satellites every hour and a half or two and fix the position within 5-6 min of a navigation session. The navigation system “Cicada” used one-way user-to-satellite range measurements. Along with improvement of the satellite onboard systems and navigation equipment much attention was given to enhancing accuracy of determining and predicting parameters of the navigation satellite orbits. Later, receiving measuring equipment was disposed on the “Cicada” satellites to detect distress radiobeacons. The satellites received these signals and rebroadcast them to special ground stations where the computation of the exact coordinates of the emergency objects (ships, aircraft, etc.) was held. The “Cicada” satellites tracking distress radiobecons formed “Cospas” system that together with the US-French-Canadian "Sarsat" system built an integrated search and rescue service that saved several thousands of lives. The “Cicada” space navigation system (and its “Cicada-M” modernization) was designed for navigation support of military users and had been in use since 1976. In 2008 “Cicada” and “Cicada-M” users started to use GLONASS system and the operation of those systems was halted. It was impossible for the low-orbit systems to meet requirements of a great number of users. Successful operation of the low-orbit satellite navigation systems by the marine users attracted widespread attention to satellite navigation. A general-purpose navigation system was needed to meet the requirements of the great majority of prospective users. Based on the all-round research it was decided to choose the orbital constellation consisting of 24 satellites equally distributed in three orbital planes inclined at 64.8° to the equator. The GLONASS satellites are placed in roughly circular orbits with the nominal orbit altitude 19,100 km and an orbital period of 11 hours, 15 minutes, 44 seconds. Due to the period value it became possible to create a sustainable orbital system that unlike GPS does not require supporting correcting pulses during its active lifetime. The nominal inclination ensures global availability on the territory of the Russian Federation even when several SVs are not operational. Two challenges have been faced for designing a high-orbit navigation system. The first one dealt with mutual synchronized satellite timescales with the accuracy of billionths of a second (nanoseconds). It became possible because of high-orbit onboard caesium frequency standards with nominal stability at 10-13 and ground hydrogen frequency standard with nominal stability at 10-14 and also because of ground facilities of time scale comparison with error of 3-5 ns. The second challenge addressed high-precision determination and prediction of navigation satellite orbit parameters. This issue was solved with scientific research on second order factors of infinitesimals, such as light pressure, irregularities of the Earth rotation and polar motions and etc. Flight tests of the Russian high orbit satellite navigation system, called GLONASS, were started in October, 1982 with the launch of “Kosmos-1413” satellite. The GLONASS system was formally declared operational in 1993. In 1995 it was brought to a fully operational constellation (24 GLONASS satellites of the first generation). A great drawback that should have been focused on consisted in the lack of civil navigation equipment and civil users. Reduction in funding for space industry in 1990 led to degradation of the GLONASS constellation. In 2002 the GLONASS constellation consisted of 7 satellites that was insufficient for navigation support of the Russian territory even with limited availability. GLONASS was behind GPS in accuracy characteristics, SVs active lifetime comprised 3-4 years. language code: en Date=2024-05-01 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Insert Concept System Note=add broader relation New Value=GLONASS M [8044b32a-757d-4cbe-bec0-d51b14155e01,1663605] - GLObal NAvigation Satellite System (GLONASS) [960f8eb8-6ca9-47d3-ae4a-7e21ebfad4c0,1653654] Date=2024-05-01 User Id=tstevens Entity=AltLabel Operation=INSERT System Note=insert AltLabel New Value=id: null category: primary text: Global Navigation Satellite System-M language code: en The first proposal to use satellites for navigation was made by V.S.Shebashevich in 1957.

Description: The spacecraft was 42 inches in diameter, 19 inches high and weighed 270 pounds. The craft was made of aluminum alloy and stainless steel then covered by 9200 solar cells. The solar cells served to charge the nickel-cadmium (nicad) batteries. Three pairs of solid-propellant spin rockets were mounted on the base plate. TIROS-7 was also designed to make infrared measurements of reflected solar and terrestrial radiation over selected spectrum ranges and gather data on electron density and temperature in space. To accomplish this new expanded mission, TIROS-7 carried two wide-angle camera systems, a magnetic tape recorder, and infrared experimentation equipment.

Its primary objective was to obtain worldwide observations of total electron content between the spacecraft and the earth. The satellite was initially spin stabilized, but it was despun after solar paddle erection. Subsequent stabilization oriented the satellite axis of symmetry with the local magnetic field by means of a strong bar magnet and damping rods. A three-axis magnetometer and sun sensors provided information on the satellite attitude and spin rate. There was no tape recorder aboard so that satellite performance data and electrostatic probe data were observed only when the satellite was within range of a ground telemetry station. Continuous transmitters operated at 162 and 324 MHz to permit precise tracking by 'Transit' tracking stations for navigation and geodetic studies. The satellite was turned off on July 20, 1973, due to frequency interference with higher priority spacecraft.Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: BE-C Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Platform_Series_or_Entity: BE (Beacon Explorer) Short_Name: BE-C Long_Name: Beacon Explorer-C End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: DOPPLER BEACONS Short_Name: LASER TRACKING REFLECTOR Short_Name: RADIO TRANSPONDERS Short_Name: PROBES End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Inclination: 41.1 degrees Perigee: 1320 km Apogee: 940 km End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-08-29 Online_Resource: http://cddis.nasa.gov/926/egm96/bec.html Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1965-04-29 Launch_Site: Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, USA Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group COSMO-SKYMED Date=2021-12-02 User Id=tstevens Entity=BroaderRelation Operation=INSERT User Note=Move Concepts System Note=add broader relation New Value=COSMO-SKYMED [97116573-f0a2-4e18-8601-77e43b717be6,826528] - Constellation of Small Satellites for Mediterranean basin Observation (COSMO) [7545e1af-1a3a-4ebc-95e3-cbff49cca4c5,835936] Date=2019-02-14 User Id=mmorahan Entity=Definition Operation=UPDATE Field=text System Note=update Definition Old Value=COSMO-SkyMed (Constellation of Small Satellites for Mediterranean basin Observation) is a 4-spacecraft constellation, conceived by ASI (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana), and funded by the Italian Ministry of Research (MUR) and the Italian Ministry of Defense (MOD), Rome, Italy. The program is managed in cooperation by ASI and MOD. Each of the four satellites is equipped with a SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) instrument and is capable of operating in all visibility conditions at high resolution and in real time. The overall objective of this program is global Earth observation and the relevant data exploitation for the needs of the military community as well as for the civil (institutional, commercial) community. Sample applications of COSMO-SkyMed data are seen the following fields: • Defense and security applications: Surveillance, intelligence, mapping, damage assessment, vulnerability assessment, target detection/localization • Risk management applications: Floods, droughts, landslides, volcanic/seismic, forest fire, industrial hazards, water pollution • Other applications: Marine and coastal environments, agriculture, forestry, cartography, environment, geology and exploration, telecommunication, utilities and planning • Provision of commercial imaging services • The high revisit frequency offered by the four X-band SAR spacecraft is also expected to provide a unique potential to the operational meteorological user community through provision of ancillary data and/or data on meteo-correlated phenomena, in particular as regards sea ice monitoring and study of ocean wave patterns. Background: In 1996 the Italian Government provided initial funding for the realization of a national Earth observation program. In 1997 the general guidelines for the 1998-2002 Italian National Space Plan (PSN) were approved including the activities on Earth observation. The strategic element in this plan is the COSMO-SkyMed dual-use program of ASI. 1) 2) In the summer of 2001, the Italian Ministry of Defense became a partner in the COSMO-SkyMed program (a welcome funding partner for the Italian Ministry of Research). However, the dual-use nature of the COSMO-SkyMed program, i. e. civil (research and commercial) and military use of its data products, resulted in a virtually classified program. A great disadvantage of the new arrangement is that rather sparse technical information of the mission can only be made available to the public. Although the first constellation satellite SAR instruments (SAR-2000) will observe in X-band (9.6 GHz with a wavelength of 3.1 cm), multi-mode scenarios (X-, C- L- and P-band) are planned for the future. The overall system architecture is composed of a space segment, a constellation of SAR satellites, and a ground segment including full featured user services. The requirements call for the following general performance characteristics: 3) • Full global observation coverage with all weather, day/night acquisition capability • Collection capability of large areas within a single pass, with along-track stereo imaging during a single pass • High image quality, to allow a robust image interpretability at the requested scale of analysis (data sets are characterized by adequate spatial and spectral resolution suitable to perform analyses at different scales of detail) • Ground track repeatability: the satellites of the SAR constellation shall have a ground track repeatability of better than 1 km • Fast response times (from the data/service user request up to the data/service delivery to that requiring user). The SABRINA project was started in 2004/5. The COSMO-SkyMed space segment is composed of a constellation of four SAR satellites. The PRIMA \[Piattaforma Riconfigurabile Italiana Multi-Applicativa (Reconfigurable Italian Platform for Multiple Applications)\] bus of Alcatel Alenia Space is being employed. Alcatel Alenia Space is also the prime contractor of the space segment \[funding by ASI and I-AD (Ministry of Defense)\]. - Note: As of April 10, 2007, the EC approved the transfer to Thales of Alcatel-Lucent's shareholdings in the two space sector joint venture companies Alcatel Alenia Space and Telespazio. Hence, Alcatel Alenia Space was renamed to Thales Alenia Space. The S/C is three-axis stabilized, it consists of the main body (bus), two deployable solar arrays, and a SAR antenna. The bus provides all support functions like: AOCS, electrical power (power generation, storage and distribution), data handling, thermal control, RF communications, and on-orbit propulsion for orbit injection and maintenance. The platform mechanical configuration consists of two elements or modules, namely: • SVM (Service Module) at the bottom of the bus which contains all bus subsystems including the propulsion module • PLM (Payload Module) at the top, dedicated to the payload complement, the PDHT (Payload Data Handing and Transmission) subsystem, and the AOCS (Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem) with star trackers gyros actuators. The bus structure material is CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) while SVM and PLM consist of aluminum alloys. The interfaces of the SAR antenna, star trackers and gyros are mounted on the CFRP structure for pointing precision and stability (a star tracker is being used as well as a high-quality GPS receiver). The SSTI (Satellite-to-Satellite Tracking Instrument) is the LAGRANGE GPS receiver of Laben SpA. The SAR antenna bore sight is pointing with an incidence angle about 38º to the right side of the S/C ground track. AOCS provides an antenna steering capability of ±2º in yaw as well as for a re-pointing capability to the left side of the ground track. Each S/C in the constellation features a RCT (Reaction Control Thruster) system for orbit maintenance. The mass of each spacecraft is about 1700 kg. The design life is 5 years. The S/C provides an onboard operational autonomy for a period of 24 hours. Launch: The launch of the first COSMO spacecraft in the constellation took place on June 8, 2007 (UTC). The launch was provided by the Boeing Company on a Delta-2 (7420-10 configuration) vehicle from VAFB, CA. This represented the first commercial Delta-2 launch since the formation of the United Launch Alliance (ULA) in December 2006. Circular sun-synchronous dawn-dusk orbit, nominal altitude = 619.6 km, inclination = 97.86º, period = 97.1 min, with LTAN (Local Time of Ascending Node) at 6:00 AM, 14.8125 rev./day (or 14 13/16). All spacecraft of the SAR constellation will be positioned in the same orbital plane with a phasing outlined in Table 2. The nominal repeat cycle is 16 days; however, each single satellite will have a near revisit time of 5 days.

The platform mechanical configuration consists of two elements or modules, namely: • SVM (Service Module) at the bottom of the bus which contains all bus subsystems including the propulsion module • PLM (Payload Module) at the top, dedicated to the payload complement, the PDHT (Payload Data Handing and Transmission) subsystem, and the AOCS (Attitude and Orbit Control Subsystem) with star trackers gyros actuators. The bus structure material is CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) while SVM and PLM consist of aluminum alloys. The interfaces of the SAR antenna, star trackers and gyros are mounted on the CFRP structure for pointing precision and stability (a star tracker is being used as well as a high-quality GPS receiver). The SSTI (Satellite-to-Satellite Tracking Instrument) is the LAGRANGE GPS receiver of Laben SpA. The SAR antenna bore sight is pointing with an incidence angle about 38º to the right side of the S/C ground track. AOCS provides an antenna steering capability of ±2º in yaw as well as for a re-pointing capability to the left side of the ground track. Each S/C in the constellation features a RCT (Reaction Control Thruster) system for orbit maintenance. The mass of each spacecraft is about 1700 kg. The design life is 5 years. The S/C provides an onboard operational autonomy for a period of 24 hours. Launch: The launch of the first COSMO spacecraft in the constellation took place on June 8, 2007 (UTC). The launch was provided by the Boeing Company on a Delta-2 (7420-10 configuration) vehicle from VAFB, CA. This represented the first commercial Delta-2 launch since the formation of the United Launch Alliance (ULA) in December 2006. Circular sun-synchronous dawn-dusk orbit, nominal altitude = 619.6 km, inclination = 97.86º, period = 97.1 min, with LTAN (Local Time of Ascending Node) at 6:00 AM, 14.8125 rev./day (or 14 13/16). All spacecraft of the SAR constellation will be positioned in the same orbital plane with a phasing outlined in Table 2. The nominal repeat cycle is 16 days; however, each single satellite will have a near revisit time of 5 days.

The program is managed in cooperation by ASI and MOD. Each of the four satellites is equipped with a SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) instrument and is capable of operating in all visibility conditions at high resolution and in real time.The overall objective of this program is global Earth observation and the relevant data exploitation for the needs of the military community as well as for the civil (institutional, commercial) community.Sample applications of COSMO-SkyMed data are seen the following fields:• Defense and security applications: Surveillance, intelligence, mapping, damage assessment, vulnerability assessment, target detection/localization• Risk management applications: Floods, droughts, landslides, volcanic/seismic, forest fire, industrial hazards, water pollution• Other applications: Marine and coastal environments, agriculture, forestry, cartography, environment, geology and exploration, telecommunication, utilities and planning• Provision of commercial imaging services• The high revisit frequency offered by the four X-band SAR spacecraft is also expected to provide a unique potential to the operational meteorological user community through provision of ancillary data and/or data on meteo-correlated phenomena, in particular as regards sea ice monitoring and study of ocean wave patterns.Background: In 1996 the Italian Government provided initial funding for the realization of a national Earth observation program. In 1997 the general guidelines for the 1998-2002 Italian National Space Plan (PSN) were approved including the activities on Earth observation. The strategic element in this plan is the COSMO-SkyMed dual-use program of ASI. 1) 2)In the summer of 2001, the Italian Ministry of Defense became a partner in the COSMO-SkyMed program (a welcome funding partner for the Italian Ministry of Research). However, the dual-use nature of the COSMO-SkyMed program, i. e. civil (research and commercial) and military use of its data products, resulted in a virtually classified program. A great disadvantage of the new arrangement is that rather sparse technical information of the mission can only be made available to the public.Although the first constellation satellite SAR instruments (SAR-2000) will observe in X-band (9.6 GHz with a wavelength of 3.1 cm), multi-mode scenarios (X-, C- L- and P-band) are planned for the future.The overall system architecture is composed of a space segment, a constellation of SAR satellites, and a ground segment including full featured user services. The requirements call for the following general performance characteristics: 3)• Full global observation coverage with all weather, day/night acquisition capability• Collection capability of large areas within a single pass, with along-track stereo imaging during a single pass• High image quality, to allow a robust image interpretability at the requested scale of analysis (data sets are characterized by adequate spatial and spectral resolution suitable to perform analyses at different scales of detail)• Ground track repeatability: the satellites of the SAR constellation shall have a ground track repeatability of better than 1 km• Fast response times (from the data/service user request up to the data/service delivery to that requiring user).The SABRINA project was started in 2004/5. The COSMO-SkyMed space segment is composed of a constellation of four SAR satellites. The PRIMA \[Piattaforma Riconfigurabile Italiana Multi-Applicativa (Reconfigurable Italian Platform for Multiple Applications)\] bus of Alcatel Alenia Space is being employed. Alcatel Alenia Space is also the prime contractor of the space segment \[funding by ASI and I-AD (Ministry of Defense)\]. - Note: As of April 10, 2007, the EC approved the transfer to Thales of Alcatel-Lucent's shareholdings in the two space sector joint venture companies Alcatel Alenia Space and Telespazio.

The spacecraft successfully provided simultaneous scientific measurements at widely dispersed locations in heliocentric orbit. It returned the first data on the tenuous solar atmosphere and later recorded the passage of Comet Kohoutek's tail in 1974. Along with Pioneers 7, 8, and 9, the spacecraft formed a ring of solar weather stations spaced along Earth's orbit. Measurements by the four Pioneers were used to predict solar storms for approximately 1,000 primary users, including the Federal Aviation Administration; commercial airlines; power companies; communication companies; military organizations; and entities involved in surveying, navigation, and electronic prospecting. By December 1990, Pioneer 6 had circled the Sun twentynine times (traveling 24.8 billion kilometers) and had been operational for twenty years -- a record for a deep space probe. Its original slated lifetime had been only six months. On 15 December 1996, the spacecraft's primary transmitter failed, but during a track on 11 July 1996, ground controllers switched on the backup transmitter. Of the spacecraft's six scientific instruments, two (the plasma analyzer and the cosmic-ray detector) still continue to function. NASA maintains contact with the spacecraft once or twice each year. For example, 1 hour's worth of scientific data was collected on 29 July and 15 December 1995 (although the primary transmitter failed soon after that), and again on 6 October 1997, more than thirty years after launch. The probe's solar arrays continue to deteriorate, although the transmitters can be turned on at perihelion when the solar flux is strong enough to provide sufficient power. On 8 December 2000, to commemorate its thirty-fifth anniversary of operation, ground controllers established successful contact with the spacecraft for about 2 hours.Information provided by http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/profile.cfm?Sort=Alpha&Alias=Pioneer%206&Letter=P&Display=ReadMoreGroup: Platform_Details Entry_ID: PIONEER 6 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Solar/Space Observation Satellites Short_Name: PIONEER 6 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: WAVES Short_Name: MUON COSMIC RAY DETECTORS Short_Name: PROBES Short_Name: FLUXGATE MAGNETOMETERS End_Group Creation_Date: 2007-08-20 Online_Resource: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/profile.cfm?Sort=Alpha&Alias=Pioneer%206&Letter=P&Display=ReadMore Sample_Image: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/images/miss-pioneer_06.gif Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 1965-12-16 Design_Life: 6 months Primary_Sponsor: NASA End_GroupEnd_Group 2024-05-01 Block III/IIIF GPS A-F Date=2024-05-01 User Id=tstevens Entity=Definition Operation=INSERT System Note=insert Definition New Value=id: null text: The GPS space segment consists of a constellation of satellites transmitting radio signals to users.

Its objective was to obtain worldwide observations of total electron content between the spacecraft and the earth. The satellite was initially spin-stabilized, but it was despun after solar paddle erection. Subsequent stabilization oriented the satellite axis of symmetry with the local magnetic field by means of a strong bar magnet and damping rods. A three-axis magnetometer and sun sensors provided information on the satellite attitude and spin rate. There was no tape recorder aboard so that satellite performance data and electrostatic probe data could be observed only when the satellite was within range of a ground telemetry station. Continuous transmitters also operated at 162 and 324 MHz to permit precise tracking by 'Transit' tracking stations for navigation and geodetic studies. In August 1968, data acquisition from the satellite telemetry channels was discontinued. In July 1969, tracking and world map production were discontinued by GSFC, and world map production based on NORAD orbit elements was subsequently assumed by ESRO. The satellite failed in February 1970 and BE-C was turned on in order to partially replace use made of this satellite beacon experiment.
