SkySats 16-21 To Launch On SpaceX Falcon 9 Rideshare Missions

Mike Safyan (https://www.planet.com/pulse/author/misha/) | May 13, 2020

Planet is set to launch six more SkySat satellites (SkySats 16-21) into Low Earth Orbit this summer, rounding out the fleet of 15 SkySats already in operation.

SkySats 1-15 operate in Sun Synchronous Orbits, a specific type of Low Earth Orbit that results in the Earth's surface always being illuminated by the Sun at the same angle when the satellite is capturing imagery. About half of the SkySats currently pass overhead in a morning crossing plane, while the other half moves in an afternoon crossing plane, so together they provide twice-daily coverage of select areas on a global scale. SkySats 16-21 will operate at a "mid-inclination" orbit of 53 degrees, complimenting the Sun Synchronous fleet, and will offer more targeted coverage and raw image capacity in key geographic regions.

The six SkySats will be evenly split across two launches on SpaceX's Falcon 9 (https://www.spacex.com/falcon9), a two-stage reusable rocket that has successfully flown satellites and cargo over 80 times to orbit. They will do so as rideshare payloads on launches of SpaceX's Starlink (https://www.starlink.com/) satellites.

SkySats 16-18 will launch on SpaceX's ninth Starlink mission, targeted for launch in the next month, and SkySats 19-21 will launch later this summer. Both missions will launch from Cape Canaveral Air Force Base in Florida.

The launch of SkySats 16-21, as well as the development of our enhanced 50 cm imagery (https://www.planet.com/pulse/more-spectral-bands-50cm-global-analytics-change-detection/) (to be made available to customers this year)—are just some examples of Planet's continuously evolving industry-leading geospatial offerings. Stay tuned to the Pulse blog (https://www.planet.com/pulse/) for more launch and product updates in the coming months.

SpaceX наметила на 13 июня запуск 58 спутников системы Starlink

НЬЮ-ЙОРК, 11 июня. /ТАСС/. Компания SpaceX планирует вывести на орбиту очередную группировку малых спутников Starlink в предстоящую субботу. Об этом SpaceX сообщила в четверг в своем Twitter.

"Мы намечаем запуск 58 спутников Starlink и трех аппаратов компании Planet labs на субботу, 13 июня, в 05:21 (12:21 мск - прим. ТАСС)", - уточнила SpaceX.

Для запуска выделена ракета-носитель Falcon 9. Ее первая ступень ранее дважды использовалась для доставки грузов на борт Международной космической станции.

Микроспутники Planet labs оснащены портативными телескопом и камерой с высоким разрешением и предназначены для мониторинга поверхности Земли с орбиты.

Цитата: undefinedSpaceX is targeting Saturday, June 13 at 5:21 a.m. EDT, 9:21 UTC, for launch of its ninth Starlink mission, which will include 58 Starlink satellites and three of Planet's SkySats (https://www.planet.com/products/hi-res-monitoring/). Falcon 9 will lift off from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and a backup opportunity is available on Sunday, June 14 at 4:59 a.m. EDT, 8:59 UTC. This mission marks SpaceX's first SmallSat Rideshare Program launch.

Falcon 9's first stage previously supported Dragon's 19th and 20th resupply missions to the International Space Station. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9's first stage on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship, which will be stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

One half of Falcon 9's fairing previously flew on the JCSAT-18/Kacific1 mission, and the other half previously flew on SpaceX's third Starlink mission. Planet's SkySats will deploy sequentially beginning about 12 minutes after liftoff, and the Starlink satellites will deploy approximately 26 minutes after liftoff.

The fairing on this mission is flight-proven! One half flew on the JCSAT-18 mission and the other on the third Starlink mission.

The SpaceX website doesn't mention fairing recovery for tomorrow's mission. Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief are downrange but it might not be a catch attempt.

Цитата: undefinedHitching a ride with SpaceX, Planet poised to complete SkySat fleet

Three of Planet's SkySat Earth-imaging satellites are mounted on top of 58 of SpaceX's Starlink broadband satellites for launch Saturday from Cape Canaveral on top of a Falcon 9 rocket, the first secondary payloads to ride to orbit on SpaceX's commercial rideshare service.

The launch of three Planet SkySat spacecraft Saturday will be followed by another Falcon 9/Starlink mission in July carrying Planet's final three SkySats, capping off the deployment of the company's fleet of 21 commercial high-resolution Earth observation satellites.

Mike Safyan, Planet's vice president of launch, said SpaceX's small satellite rideshare service, which the launch provider announced last year (https://spaceflightnow.com/2019/08/19/launch-providers-announce-rideshare-missions-large-and-small/), was "a very attractive offering" to launch the company's last six SkySat satellites.

While Safyan would not disclose what Planet paid SpaceX to launch the six SkySats, SpaceX has published pricing for rideshare launch services (https://www.spacex.com/rideshare/) on its website. The company lists a price as low as $1 million for a 440-pound payload on a rideshare to a polar sun-synchronous orbit.

"That's incredibly competitive pricing," Safyan said. "Coupled with the fact that the Falcon 9 is one of the world's most reliable and well-flown vehicles out there, and they're going to a variety of orbits very regularly, makes it a very attractive offering."

The cost to purchase the entire capacity of an Electron rocket mission from Rocket Lab is around $5.7 million. Rocket Lab's Electron launcher can carry up to 496 pounds (225 kilograms) to a low-altitude orbit, or 330 pounds (150 kilograms) to a higher sun-synchronous orbit.

Safyan said SpaceX provided Planet with parameters to integrate the SkySats on top of a flat-packed stack of Starlink satellites.

Planet, headquartered in San Francisco, dispatched a small team to Cape Canaveral to prepare the three SkySats for launch.

"We were able to do it with a skeleton crew," Safyan said in an interview with Spaceflight Now. "We were trying to minimize the number of people that needed to travel given the pandemic conditions."

Liftoff of the Falcon 9 rocket with the SkySat and Starlink satellites is set for 5:21:18 a.m. EDT (0921:18 GMT) from pad 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.

The launch comes less than 10 days after the previous Falcon 9 mission lifted off from pad 40, the shortest span between flights from the same launch pad in SpaceX's history.

It's also the first Falcon 9 launch to go ahead without a pre-flight test-firing of its nine Merlin first stage engines. Although SpaceX has not responded to questions on the matter, the launch team Friday was preparing for an overnight countdown ahead of Saturday's predawn launch.

SpaceX was the only launch operator to perform static fire tests before every mission. Other companies, such as United Launch Alliance, conduct fueling rehearsals ahead of some missions, but most launch providers fuel their rockets for the first time on launch day.

The first stage booster flying on Saturday's Falcon 9 flight previously launched and landed on two missions in December and March, each carrying a Dragon cargo capsule into space on a resupply mission to the International Space Station. The booster is flying for a third time Saturday.

It's not clear whether SpaceX will perform static fire tests before future missions, or whether the company might only test-fire rockets making their first launch, or in preparation for missions with external customers, such as NASA or the U.S. military.

SpaceX is both the launch provider and the customer for a Falcon 9 launch with Starlink satellites. With 86 Falcon 9 flights in the books, the rocket is no longer a newly-designed launch vehicle. The Falcon 9 has logged more missions than any other U.S. launcher currently in service.

In an interview with Spaceflight Now, Safyan said Planet was comfortable with launching on the Falcon 9 with or without a static fire test.

"SpaceX gave us the interface pattern, and then we designed a custom adapter plate in-house," Safyan said. "We put together this adapter plate that would allow for three SkySats to fit onto that mounting. The SkySats sit at the top of the stack, and they get deployed as the first satellite deployment event, and Starlinks will follow thereafter."

With the addition of three SkySats on top of the Starlink stack, SpaceX is only launching 58 Starlink platforms on Saturday's mission, down from the typical number of 60 per launch.

Like all Starlink launches to date, the Falcon 9 rocket will blast off and head northeast from Cape Canaveral powered by 1.7 million pounds of thrust from nine Merlin 1D main engines.

Fueled by kerosene, the nine Merlin engines will burn for two-and-a-half minutes before shutting down, allowing the Falcon 9's first stage to drop away and head for landing on SpaceX's drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You" parked in the Atlantic Ocean nearly 400 miles (630 kilometers) northeast of Cape Canaveral.

The second stage's Merlin Vacuum engine will ignite at T+plus 2 minutes, 43 seconds. Around 30 seconds later, the Falcon 9's clamshell-like payload fairing will jettison in two halves to drop into the Atlantic Ocean.

The two halves of the fairing launching Saturday are also reused from previous missions.

SpaceX's two fairing recovery vessels — named Ms. Tree and Ms. Chief — are stationed in the Atlantic Ocean, presumably to attempt recovery of the payload shroud halves again.

Landing of the first stage booster on SpaceX's drone ship is scheduled nearly nine minutes after liftoff, followed moments later by shutdown of the Falcon 9's upper stage engine after reaching an elliptical, or egg-shaped, orbit ranging between 132 miles and 228 miles (213-by-367 kilometers) in altitude.

The orbit will be inclined 53 degrees to the equator.

The SkySats will separate from the rocket first, deploying one-at-a-time at 30-second intervals beginning around-and-a-half minutes after liftoff.

Then the Falcon 9's upper stage will reorient for the deployment of the 58 Starlink satellites, which will separate from the rocket in one piece after the release of retention rods holding the flat-packed spacecraft onto the rocket.

Once the separation is initiated, the Starlink satellites — each weighing about a quarter-ton — will slowly fly apart from each other as they prepare to unfurl solar arrays and activate their krypton ion drives.

The krypton propulsion system will raise the satellites' orbits to an operating altitude of 341 miles, or 550 kilometers, while SpaceX ground teams perform checkouts of each spacecraft.

With Saturday's launch, SpaceX will have launched 538 Starlink satellites since May 2019, extending the company's record as the owner of the largest fleet of commercial satellites.

SpaceX is on a rapid-fire launch pace, following the launch of the previous batch of Starlink satellites June 3, and another Falcon 9/Starlink mission scheduled for June 22.

SpaceX aims to launch around 1,000 more Starlink satellites later this year and next year to begin offering worldwide Internet service. Initial beta testing of the Starlink network could begin later this year, beginning in higher latitude regions like Canada and the northern United States.

Thousands more Starlink spacecraft could launch in the coming years to meet global demand, according to SpaceX.

Planet is the owner of the world's second-largest satellite constellation, with between 100 and 150 spacecraft currently in operation. That fleet includes more than 100 medium-resolution Dove and SuperDove CubeSats — each the size of a toaster oven — and 15 larger SkySats with sharper vision.

Built by Maxar, each of the SkySat satellites weighs around 242 pounds (110 kilograms) at launch. The SkySats are about the side of a mini-refrigerator.

The first 15 SkySat satellites launched into polar sun-synchronous orbits and fly in in north-south paths around Earth. Sun-synchronous orbits are popular for remote sensing and environmental satellites because they allow regular imaging of the Earth's surface with the sun at the same angle.

Around half of the SkySats fly in orbits timed to fly overhead in the morning, and the other half soar over imaging targets in the afternoon, providing coverage of certain parts of the globe twice per day.

The six remaining SkySats are the last of a block of spacecraft ordered from Maxar, formerly known as SSL, by Skybox Imaging. Skybox was acquired by Google and renamed Terra Bella in 2014, then Planet acquired Terra Bella and the SkySat assets in 2017.

The three SkySat satellites launching Saturday, and another three set to launch on a following Starlink mission in July, will fly at a lower-inclination orbit inclined 53 degrees to the equator. Planet says the new satellites "will offer more targeted coverage and raw image capacity in key geographic regions."

Safyan told Spaceflight Now the SkySats will use their own propulsion to maneuver from the Starlink injection orbit to an operating altitude of around 250 miles (400 kilometers).

At that altitude, the SkySats will be able to produce images of Earth at a resolution of less than 20 inches, or 50 centimeters. Planet announced it has also lowered the orbits of its SkySats already in space to allow the collection imagery of the same quality.

The first 15 SkySats have launched on a range of rockets, riding a Ukrainian-Russian Dnepr booster in 2013, a Russian Soyuz launcher in 2014, an Indian PSLV and a European Vega rocket in 2016, Northrop Grumman's Minotaur-C rocket in 2017, and a Falcon 9 mission in 2018.

In addition to selling excess room on Starlink missions, SpaceX is planning as many as three dedicated Falcon 9 rideshare launches per year to sun-synchronous orbit. The first of the company's dedicated rideshare missions is scheduled for December from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

The rideshare launches are similar to a sun-synchronous orbit multi-satellite launch from Vandenberg on a Falcon 9 rocket in December 2018. But that mission was managed by Spaceflight, a rideshare launch broker based in Seattle, which purchased the entire capacity of a Falcon 9 rocket and sold slots to commercial and government customers.

Now SpaceX itself is putting together rideshare launches, selling slots directly to satellite operators and brokers that then distribute mass and volume allotments to their customers.

Starlink launches take up the majority of the Falcon 9 rocket's launch manifest this year. SpaceX has also sold capacity on the next Starlink launch, set for June 22, for two Earth-imaging satellites owned by BlackSky.

"SpaceX had a lot of different orbits we could choose from," Safyan said. "That's one of the advantages of going with a SpaceX rideshare because with other launch providers, they may be going to the orbit that you're looking for, but with only one or two missions every now and again.

"But SpaceX is launching so frequently that if you're looking for mid-inclination, you could go on a Starlink," Safyan said. "If you're looking for sun-synchronous, they have other rideshare opportunities. Other orbits are being offered as well. So it's the number and frequency of opportunities that really makes a difference."

The launch contract between SpaceX and Planet was signed just six months ago, Safyan said.

"We not only recognize that these Starlink launch opportunities were very cost-competitive on a very reliable launch vehicle, and going to the right orbit, but also the timing," Safyan said. "We were ready to launch, and if we were to go to a dedicated launch service provider, then it could take 12 or 18 months for them to build their launch vehicle from scratch and fit it into their manifest.

"Launch companies typically don't just have rockets sitting around on inventory that haven't been assigned," he said. "So being able to turn this around really quickly was another big advantage, and SpaceX is one of the few launch providers in the world that could do this so quickly."

Planet could have launched all six of their remaining SkySats clustered together on same Starlink rideshare mission, but the company preferred to put them on two different rockets to be released into different orbital planes. That will help spread out the fleet for broader coverage, Safyan said.

"I think that there has been what appears to be kind of like a culture shirt at SpaceX with respect to the smallsat market," Safyan said. "Previously, I think that they were much more focused on bigger payloads and dedicated launch services, and they preferred to kind of outsource aggregating smaller payloads to other brokers. With their smallsat rideshare announcement, I think that was a turning point for SpaceX where they recognize that this is a real and important market, and that they wanted to be working directly with customers.

"That's been a really great shift for us because SpaceX works very fast. They work at a very similar pace as we do. So we were able to put together this launch in a very quick timeframe."

The SkySats are designed for six-year missions, according to Planet.

"That gives us a pretty long runway with respect to what these SkySats will be able to provide," Safyan said. "We're looking at the future of high-res at Planet. It's still too early to talk about the details of that. But we will continue to offer both medium-res and high-res products to our customers.

"One of the promises that Planet always makes to its customers is that our products get better over time," Safyan said. "We don't like to rest on our laurels. We really like to listen to the market and understand what are they evolving needs, especially as we grow the customer base.

"It's not just industries that are traditional users of remote sensing, like government agencies and agriculture," he said. "There are newer markets that are being opened up in finance and insurance, so better understanding those market needs as well helps us inform how we develop the product going forward. Because we're vertically-integrated, that gives us a really big advantage of being able to take customer feedback and actually incorporate that into satellite design and operations."

Вашингтон. 13 июня. ИНТЕРФАКС - Многоразовая первая ступень американской ракеты-носителя Falcon 9, стартовавшей в субботу на орбиту с 58 интернет-спутниками, совершила успешную управляемую посадку на плавучей платформе в Атлантике, сообщила компания-разработчик SpaceX.

Посадка на автоматической плавучей платформе Of Course, I Still Love You, находившейся в Атлантике в 629 км от космодрома на мысе Канаверал, была осуществлена через 8 минут 42 секунды после старта ракеты.

Как сообщалось, тяжелая ракета-носитель Falcon 9 стартовала на орбиту со спутниками, предназначенными для продолжения развертывания глобальной сети интернет-покрытия системы Starlink компании SpaceX.

Запуск двухступенчатой ракеты Falcon 9 компании SpaceX был осуществлен в 5:21 по времени Восточного побережья США (12:21 мск) со стартового комплекса LC-40 на космодроме NASA на мысе Канаверал в штате Флорида.

Первая многоразовая ступень ракеты-носителя Falcon 9 использовалась в третий раз.

Вашингтон. 13 июня. ИНТЕРФАКС - Тяжелая ракета-носитель Falcon 9 в субботу успешно вывела на низкую околоземную орбиту новую партию из 58 мини-спутников, предназначенных для продолжения развертывания глобальной сети интернет-покрытия системы Starlink, сообщила компания-разработчик SpaceX.

"Успешный вывод спутников Starlink подтвержден", - говорится в сообщении.

Теперь ее орбитальная группировка состоит уже из 538 космических аппаратов. В настоящее время компания SpaceX является крупнейшим спутниковым оператором в мире. Это уже девятый вывод на орбиту группы интернет-спутников, начиная с мая прошлого года, в рамках проекта Starlink. 22 июня планируется провести запуск следующей партии спутников.

В рамках программы SpaceX по проведению сопутствующих запусков ракета Falcon 9 также вывела на орбиту три космических аппарата дистанционного зондирования Земли SkySat компании Planet Lab массой 110 кг.

Орбитальная группировка компании Planet Lab, являющейся поставщиком космических снимков сверхвысокого разрешения, уже состоит из 15 спутников SkySat. Новые аппараты будут способны получать изображения Земли с разрешением около 50 сантиметров. Предыдущие имели разрешение только 72 сантиметра. Первые два спутника SkySat были выведены на орбиту в 2013 году российскими ракетами-носителями.

SkySats 16-18 Successfully Launch Aboard The SpaceX Falcon 9

Mike Safyan (https://www.planet.com/pulse/author/misha/) | June 13, 2020

On June 13, 2020, SpaceX's (https://www.spacex.com/) Falcon 9 rocket successfully lofted three of Planet's high-resolution imaging SkySats along with a batch of its Starlink communications satellites. SkySats 16, 17 and 18 were successfully deployed into a drop-off orbit of 205 x 380 km, 53 degree inclination. Planet's launch operations team has successfully acquired all three satellites and started performing operational checkouts. Over the next several weeks will use their onboard propulsion to boost themselves up to their operational orbit of 400 km circular altitude.

These three new SkySats join the 15 others already in orbit and expand our capacity to provide world class, high resolution images to a variety of governmental, commercial, academic and non-profit organizations.

This image, provided by SpaceX, shows three SkySats sitting atop the Starlink stack during fairing encapsulation.

With shelter-in-place orders still in effect, the Planet team watched the launch livestream from the comfort and safety of their homes, making pancake feasts to continue Planet's launch pancakes tradition. (https://www.planet.com/pulse/the-story-behind-planets-legendary-launch-pancakes/)

SkySats 19, 20 and 21 will follow closely on the heels of today's successful launch and join another Starlink launch scheduled this summer. Although the Falcon 9 rocket was equipped with the capacity for all six SkySats in a single launch (and then some), the SkySats were intentionally split across two launches so that they could be deployed into offset planes, optimizing for maximum coverage and revisit time over key regions. Stay tuned for more launch and commissioning updates as things progress.

STARLINK MISSION

On Saturday, June 13 at 5:21 a.m. EDT, 9:21 UTC, SpaceX successfully launched its ninth Starlink mission, carrying 58 Starlink satellites and three of Planet's SkySats. This mission marked SpaceX's first SmallSat Rideshare Program launch.

Falcon 9's first stage previously supported Dragon's 19th and 20th resupply missions to the International Space Station. Following stage separation, SpaceX's Falcon 9 first stage landed on the "Of Course I Still Love You" droneship stationed in the Atlantic Ocean.

One half of Falcon 9's fairing previously flew on the JCSAT-18/Kacific1 mission, and the other half previously flew on SpaceX's third Starlink mission. Planet's SkySats were deployed sequentially beginning about 12 minutes after liftoff, and the Starlink satellites deployed approximately 26 minutes after liftoff.

Так я всего лишь напомнил, что на текущий момент батут -- это недобатут. И, думаю, не стоит вам брать пример с Дмитрия Олеговича, который как-то раз поздравил с успешным пуском, а полезная нагрузка в итоге оказалась в океане.

Цитата: cross-track от 13.06.2020 16:43:59Так я никого не поздравлял, и нигде не высказывался о надежности пилотируемого Драгона. Но вопрос "Я, конечно, извиняюсь, но батут должен работать только в одну сторону или в обе?" несет явные сомнения в успешности испытательного полета в целом.

Так полет еще не закончен, еще предстоит критически важный этап возврата астронавтов. Поэтому и не зарекайтесь про батут, мало ли что.

Цитата: cross-track от 13.06.2020 17:21:19Я же уже объяснил, что не зарекаюсь, перечитайте текст, плз. Я просто стараюсь никак не высказываться по этому поводу, ни в какую сторону.

Кстати интересный вопрос - а на чем полетят июльские ПН, в частности Анасис и очередной Старлинк? Свободных новых ступеней нет, а чтобы запустить их на летавших - нужно резко, сократить время межполетного обслуживания, пока рекорд - 2 месяца 13 дней, самая "ранняя" севшая ступень - 1058 - 30 мая.

OCISLY has nowhere to dock yet. The big ship on the left is due to leave at ~5pm ET tmrw.

Next, JRTI will be moved left along the dock so OCISLY can then berth in front of the red and white crane.

They have lifted the opposite leg like they did with the other and placed what looks like a little cart/jack under the leg #SpaceXFleet (https://twitter.com/hashtag/SpaceXFleet?src=hashtag_click)

That's what they are placing under the legs. They just lifted up another leg and placed the same thing under it

Right leg being lifted again. Looks like they may have just been reducing loads on the legs

Right leg pretty much fully retracted. Starting on the left #SpaceXFleet (https://twitter.com/hashtag/SpaceXFleet?src=hashtag_click)

All engines have covers now. Looks like they may go and lay the booster down shortly after finishing the leg retracts if the transporter is here (I think it is)

Цитата: tnt22 от 17.06.2020 18:47:33Весьма вероятно, что под объекты запуска НОРАД зарезервировал номера с 45730 по 45793 - всего на 64 объекта (как в "чистых" старлинковских запусках), а по идее нужно 65 номеров (58 Старлинков, 3 СкайСата, 4 направляющих)...

CelesTrak now has TLEs from @18SPCS (https://twitter.com/18SPCS) for 66 objects associated with the Starlink launch on Jun 13 (https://celestrak.com/NORAD/elements/ (https://t.co/VD6AAVbcbG?amp=1)).

CelesTrak's Pass Viz tool shows good general agreement between @18 (https://twitter.com/18) SPCS TLEs (white) & SupTLEs (green). OBJECT BR & BS are likely to be other objects from the launch (SkySats or debris) not included in the SupTLEs. Working through detailed matching next.

Early days yet for Starlink launch 9. The Skysats (cyan) are raising at a similar rate, but with discrete burns. The Skysat adapter (magenta) is decaying faster than the rods (green)  and may have reentered around Jun 23.
