ЦитироватьПервый в этом году запуск космических аппаратов европейской системы Galileo состоится 26 марта. Пуск будет произведен с помощью российской ракеты-носителя «Союз-СТ» с космодрома Куру.

Еще два пуска состоятся в сентябре и конце декабря. Запусков тяжелых ракет «Ариан-5» с Galileo в этом году не состоится.

Запуск ракеты-носителя "Союз" с космодрома Куру может быть перенесен

Москва. 2 февраля. ИНТЕРФАКС-АВН - Планировавшийся на 27 марта первый в этом году запуск ракеты-носителя "Союз-СТ" с космодрома Куру во французской Гвиане может быть перенесен по организационным причинам, не связанным с техникой, сообщили в понедельник "Интерфаксу-АВН" в российской ракетно-космической отрасли.
"Возможный перенос связан с накладками в планах Роскосмоса и Европейского космического агентства (ЕКА), из-за которых физически невозможно перебросить с Байконура на Куру ряд специалистов пускового расчета от самарского Ракетно-космического центра (РКЦ) "Прогресс", - пояснил собеседник агентства.
"Первоначальными планами Роскосмоса и ЕКА предполагалось, что 27 марта с космодрома Байконур должна стартовать ракета-носитель "Союз-ФГ" по пилотируемой программе, а с космодрома Куру - ракета-носитель "Союз-СТ" по планам ЕКА", - напомнил он.
По словам собеседника агентства, "соответствующее обращение с просьбой о переносе запуска "Союза" с Куру "вправо" уже направлено европейским партнерам".

Может февральский с Плесецка пошел вправо? Вроде раньше на 2 пуска хватало специалистов?

Что-то Мистрали вспомнились...

ЦитироватьFrench Guiana welcomes the next two Galileo satellites for launch by an Arianespace Soyuz vehicle  
(https://img.novosti-kosmonavtiki.ru/222786.jpg)
Inside its protective shipping container, one of the two Galileo satellites is unloaded from a Boeing 747 cargo aircraft at French Guiana.
 
  February 6, 2015 – Soyuz Flight VS11
The two Galileo satellite passengers for launch on Arianespace's next Soyuz flight have now been delivered to French Guiana, enabling the start-up of payload preparations for this medium-lift mission.
Transported by a Boeing 747 cargo jetliner, the pair arrived overnight at Félix Eboué International Airport near the capital city of Cayenne – after which these satellites, protected inside their shipping containers, were unloaded and subsequently moved by road to the Spaceport early this morning.
OHB System built the two Galileo spacecraft in Bremen, Germany as prime contractor. Their navigation payloads, which will generate the precision positioning measurements and services to users worldwide, were supplied by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. in Guildford, UK.
The Galileo program is Europe's initiative for satellite navigation, providing a highly accurate global positioning system under civilian control – to consist of 30 satellites in total, along with European control centers and a worldwide network of sensor and uplink stations.
To deliver highly accurate positioning for most places on Earth, the complete Galileo constellation will be distributed along three circular medium Earth orbit planes at an operational altitude of 23,222 km., inclined 56 deg. to the equator.
The network's complete operational and ground infrastructure will be deployed during Galileo's Full Operational Capability phase, which is managed and funded by the European Commission, with the European Space Agency delegated as the design and procurement agent on the Commission's behalf.
 The upcoming mission, designated Flight VS11 in Arianespace's numbering system, will mark the company's fourth launch to date with Galileo spacecraft.

http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/02/06/galileo-satellite-deployment-campaign-to-resume/

"Launch of the next two Galileo satellites is scheduled for March 26. If the spacecraft target Plane B of the European navigation constellation — as currently planned — launch time is set for 2150:20 GMT (5:50 p.m. EDT; 6:50 p.m. local time)"

Насколько я понял, наши предложили европейцам перенести запуск Galileo на сутки вправо, чтобы он был через несколько часов после запуска "Союза ТМА-16М".

ЦитироватьFit and checked! Payload preparations advance for Arianespace's Soyuz mission with Galileo spacecraft
 
  February 13, 2015 – Soyuz Flight VS11
The third and fourth Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellites are a confirmed "fit" for their Arianespace Soyuz launch in March, having made initial contact with the mission's dual-payload dispenser in French Guiana.
This week's activity – which is called the fit check – was completed over a two-day period inside the Spaceport's S1A payload preparation building. The two satellites were installed separately, with the Flight Model #3 (FM3) spacecraft integrated on – and subsequently removed from – the dispenser on Monday. Flight Model #4 (FM4) underwent the same process the following day.
The payload dispenser for Galileo was developed by RUAG Space Sweden for Arianespace, and carries one satellite on each side. It will deploy the spacecraft during their Soyuz launch by firing a pyrotechnic separation system to release them in opposite directions at the orbital insertion point.
Final integration on the dispenser is to be performed during upcoming processing at the Spaceport, and will be followed by the completed unit's installation on Soyuz.
This March 27 mission – designated Flight VS11 in Arianespace's numbering system – will be the company's fourth launch carrying spacecraft for the Galileo constellation, which is Europe's initiative for a satellite-based navigation system. FM3 and FM4 were built by OHB System, with Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. supplying their navigation payloads.
 The Galileo network's complete operational and ground infrastructure will be deployed during the Full Operational Capability phase, which is managed and funded by the European Commission. The European Space Agency has been delegated as the design and procurement agent on the Commission's behalf.

Ещё раз обращаю внимание, что совершенно безграмотно писать "Союз из Куру". Смотрите, в нерусскоязычных источниках всегда называют French Guiana.

Или "Союз из Синнамари".

Стыдно за троечников в космической отрасли..

В русскоязычных источниках иногда "запускают" даже с "космодрома Куру во во Французской Гвинее" :)

28 марта в 00:46:18 ДМВ.

http://tass.ru/kosmos/1812042

Во Французской Гвиане началась подготовка к запуску ракеты-носителя "Союз". Как сообщили ТАСС в компании "Арианспейс", отвечающей за запуски с космодрома Куру, закончен монтаж четырех боковых ускорителей первой ступени ракеты. Они были прикреплены к центральному блоку "А", который представляет собой вторую ступень.
"После завершения монтажа всех трех ступеней ракета будет выведена на стартовую площадку для прохождения итоговой проверки систем", - отметили в "Арианспейс".
Запуск "Союза" с космодрома Куру намечен на 27 марта.   (по местному времени, 28.03 по мск - azeast)

ЦитироватьArianespace's Soyuz for the next dual-satellite Galileo launch begins its integration in French Guiana

  March 5, 2015 – Soyuz Flight VS11
The Soyuz launcher for Arianespace's upcoming mission with two European Galileo navigation satellites is taking shape at the Spaceport for a March 27 liftoff fr om French Guiana.
During activity in the Spaceport's Soyuz Launcher Integration Building, the medium-lift workhorse began to assume its iconic form with integration of the four first-stage strap-on boosters to the Block A core second stage.
The next step will be the mating of Soyuz' Block I third stage to the launcher's core, completing the basic build-up, and readying the vehicle for its rollout to the launch pad – wh ere the payload will be mated.
Arianespace's March 27 flight will be the 11th Soyuz flight from French Guiana since the launcher's introduction at the Spaceport in October 2011.  It is designated Flight VS11 in Arianespace's numbering system for its launcher family – which also includes the heavy-lift Soyuz and lightweight Vega.
For the upcoming Soyuz mission, Arianespace will loft the third and fourth Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellites to further expand the constellation for Europe's space-based navigation system.  Flight VS11's two satellites were built by OHB System, with Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. supplying their navigation payloads. 
 Galileo's complete operational network and its ground infrastructure will be deployed during the program's Full Operational Capability phase, which is managed and funded by the European Commission.

ЦитироватьParallel launcher and payload preparations put Soyuz on track for its March 27 Arianespace mission with two Galileo navigation spacecraft

  March 12, 2015 – Soyuz Flight VS11
Preparations for Arianespace's next Soyuz flight are in full swing at multiple locations across the Spaceport, including a key integration step for the medium-lift launcher, plus the start-up of fueling for its Galileo satellite passengers.
Soyuz' Block I third stage was mated to the vehicle's core during activity today in the MIK Launcher Integration Building, concluding its basic build-up. Once the checkout process is completed, Soyuz will be transferred to the launch pad – where it will receive the two Galileo spacecraft and the Fregat upper stage, all of which are well into preparation phases of their own.
Payload fueling commenced earlier this week, with Flight Model #4 (FM4) – the fourth Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellite – receiving its propellant load in the Spaceport's S5A fueling and integration hall. After its "sister" FM3 co-passenger undergoes this same process, the two will be integrated side-by-side on a dispenser for their shared ride aboard Soyuz on March 27.
The fueling process followed the finalization last week of FM3 and FM4's hardware and software, as well as the charging of their batteries – which will be relied upon during the short period from launch to unfurling of these spacecraft's solar arrays in orbit.
The Galileo program is Europe's initiative for satellite navigation, providing a highly accurate global positioning system under civilian control – to consist of 30 satellites in total, along with European control centers and a worldwide network of sensor and uplink stations.
Galileo's FOC phase – during which the network's complete operational and ground infrastructure will be deployed – is managed and funded by the European Commission, with the European Space Agency delegated as the design and procurement agent on the Commission's behalf.
The FM3 and FM4 spacecraft were built by OHB System in Bremen, Germany. Their navigation payloads, which will generate the precision positioning measurements and services to users worldwide, were supplied by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. in Guildford, UK.
 This upcoming mission is designated Flight VS11 in Arianespace's numbering system. It will be the company's fourth launch carrying spacecraft for the Galileo constellation, as well as the 11th flight of a workhorse Soyuz from French Guiana since the 2011 introduction.

Galileo 7 & 8 Soyuz launch overview
http://youtu.be/wGj6ovUTPEA/

ЦитироватьThe Galileo satellite navigation system remains on track after successful in-orbit validation and more recently the salvage for navigational testing of two satellites launched into an incorrect orbit. The mini-constellation of satellites in orbit plus their associated ground segment has allowed in-depth testing of the overall Galileo system, and the performance was good, even beyond expectations. Now with the launch of the latest pair of satellites, ESA and the European Commission are progressing with the deployment phase of the programme.

On 27 March 2015 a Soyuz launcher will send two new Galileo satellites on orbit. Launch from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, is scheduled at 18:46 Kourou time, 21:46 GMT.

ЦитироватьGetting ready for launch: Payload integration is underway for Soyuz' Galileo passengers
 
March 17, 2015 – Soyuz Flight VS11
The two Galileo navigation satellites for Arianespace's upcoming medium-lift flight have "joined up" with their payload dispenser system – a key step in the preparations for this March 27 mission.
During activity at the Spaceport's S5A preparation hall in French Guiana, the Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) spacecraft were mounted on their two-sided dispenser system, readying them for integration on Soyuz' Fregat upper stage and encapsulation in the payload fairing. These steps will create the "upper composite," which is installed atop Soyuz once the workhorse vehicle is moved to its Spaceport launch zone.
Designated Soyuz Flight VS11 in Arianespace's numbering system, Soyuz' 11th launch from the Spaceport in French Guiana is planned for an evening liftoff on March 27 at precisely 6:46:18 p.m. local time.
On this mission, Arianespace's medium-lift launcher will carry out a nearly 3-hour, 48-minute mission to place its Galileo passengers into a targeted circular orbit at an altitude of 23,522 km., inclined 55.04 degrees to the equator.
Soyuz Flight VS11's passengers are the latest FOC satellites in the Galileo program, which will create a European-operated space-based navigation system. Providing a highly accurate global positioning system under civilian control, the complete Galileo constellation will consist of 30 satellites in total, along with European control centers and a worldwide network of sensor and uplink stations.
The European Commission is managing and funding Galileo's FOC phase – during which the network's complete operational and ground infrastructure will be deployed. The European Space Agency has been delegated as the design and procurement agent on the Commission's behalf.

  March 23, 2015 – Soyuz Flight VS11
The payload build-up has been completed in French Guiana for Arianespace's medium-lift Soyuz mission on March 27, which is to orbit the third and fourth Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellites for Europe's Galileo navigation system.
These latest preparations – which occurred in the Spaceport's S3B clean room facility – involved installation of the two Galileo spacecraft with their dispenser system atop Soyuz' Fregat upper stage, followed by encapsulation in the two-piece protective payload fairing.
 
 The completed unit, called the "upper composite," will be mated atop Soyuz after the workhorse vehicle's rollout from the MIK integration building – wh ere launcher assembly is handled – to the launch zone.
Scheduled for liftoff on March 27 at precisely 6:46:18 p.m. local time in French Guiana, Soyuz will carry out a nearly 3-hr., 48-min. mission from launch to separation of the two Galileo satellite passengers. Fregat – which is responsible for the final orbital maneuvers – will perform two burns separated by a three-hour-plus ballistic phase to reach the targeted deployment point.
Galileo is Europe's initiative for satellite navigation. Its complete operational and ground structure will be deployed during the FOC phase, which is managed and funded by the European Commission, with the European Space Agency delegated as the design and procurement agent on the Commission's behalf.

  March 24, 2015 – Soyuz Flight VS11
The Soyuz for Arianespace's next medium-lift mission is in the launch zone at French Guiana, where it stands ready to receive the two spacecraft passengers that will join Europe's Galileo global navigation satellite system.
Applying procedures that have been followed since the workhorse Soyuz launcher inaugurated the Space Age, the basic three-stage vehicle for Arianespace's March 27 flight emerged today from its MIK integration building in the Spaceport's northwestern sector.
Riding horizontally on a transporter/erector rail car, Soyuz was transferred to the ELS launch zone – which was followed by its erection to the vertical orientation and positioning over the launch pad, suspended in place by four large support arms.
With this step completed, all was ready for the purpose-built 53-meter-tall mobile gantry to be moved into position around the launcher – a phase of the processing in French Guiana that differs from Soyuz operations at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan and Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia.  The gantry provides a protected environment for installation of the "upper composite," which consists of the two Galileo spacecraft, the Soyuz' Fregat upper stage and a two-piece protective payload fairing. 
The March 27 launch – designed VS11 in Arianespace's numbering system – is scheduled to lift off at precisely 6:46:18 p.m. local time in French Guiana, with its Galileo satellite passengers to be deployed during a flight lasting approximately 3 hrs., 47 min. Total payload lift performance is estimated at 1,597 kg., which includes a combined mass of some 1,428 kg. for the two spacecraft.
Flight VS11's passengers – built by OHB System, with Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd. supplying their navigation payloads – are the third and fourth Full Operational Capability (FOC) satellites in the Galileo program, which is creating a European-operated space-based navigation system.
 The European Commission is managing and funding Galileo's FOC phase – during which the network's complete operational and ground infrastructure will be deployed. The European Space Agency has been delegated as the design and procurement agent on the Commission's behalf.

Authorization has been given for tomorrow's Arianespace Soyuz launch from French Guiana, providing the "green light" for this medium-lift mission that will further expand Europe's Galileo global navigation satellite system.
The approval was granted today after the regular pre-launch review for Arianespace flights – which confirmed the readiness of Soyuz and its payload of two Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) spacecraft, the launch site and associated infrastructure at the Spaceport, as well as the network of downrange tracking stations.
This March 27 mission – designated VS11 in Arianespace's numbering system – will be performed from the purpose-built ELS launch facility for Soyuz. Its liftoff is scheduled at precisely 6:46:18 p.m. local time in French Guiana, with the Galileo satellites to be deployed during a flight lasting approximately 3 hrs., 47 min.
Produced by OHB System, these relay platforms – which are the constellation's third and fourth FOC satellites for launch, and the seventh and eighth Galileo spacecraft to be lofted overall – weigh some 715 kg. each and will operate in medium-Earth orbit. Their navigation payloads were supplied by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd.
The Galileo navigation system provides highly accurate global positioning services under civilian control.  The European Commission is funding and managing its FOC phase, during which the network's complete operational and ground infrastructure will be deployed; with the European Space Agency designated as the system's design and procurement agent.
 Flight VS11 will be Arianespace's second mission performed in 2015 (following a lightweight Vega launch in February), as well as the 11th Soyuz liftoff performed from French Guiana since this workhorse vehicle's 2011 introduction at the Spaceport.

Юбилейный запуск разгонного блока «Фрегат»
http://www.laspace.ru/rus/news.php#403

28 марта 2015 года в 00:46 по Москве со стартового комплекса космодрома Куру был выполнен успешный запуск космической ракеты «Союз-СТ-Б» (ГРКЦ «Прогресс») с межорбитальным космическим буксиром производства НПО им. С.А. Лавочкина и двумя европейскими навигационными спутниками «Галилео». Этот старт стал 50-м для разгонного блока «Фрегат»!
Свой первый, квалификационный полёт РБ «Фрегат» совершил еще 9 февраля 2000 года, а уже в июле того же года, по заказу Европейского космического агентства, он вывел на высокоэллиптические орбиты сразу четыре научных спутника «Кластер-2».
Далее, год за годом, «Фрегат» осуществлял запуски спутников различных направлений, назначениями которых являются навигация, дистанционное зондирование Земли, гидрометеорология, телекоммуникация, межпланетные исследования, прикладные и научные задачи. Разгонный блок производства НПО им. С.А. Лавочкина участвовал в уникальных проектах нашего предприятия, таких как «Спектр-Р» («Радиоастрон»), «Электро-Л» № 1, малые космические аппараты для фундаментальных космических исследований и в прочих.
Особенность успеха «Фрегата» – высокая точность выведения, что очень важно как для космической телекоммуникации или гидрометеорологии, так и при полётах космических аппаратов к планетам и малым телам Солнечной системы. Например, при выведении европейского научного аппарата «Марс-Экспресс» на траекторию перелета была обеспечена точность, вдвое превысившая расчётную, что позволило сократить затраты топлива для проведения коррекции космического аппарата, тем самым расширив его возможности манёврирования у Марса.
Способность «Фрегата» выводить космические аппараты с трех космодромов – Байконур, Плесецк, Куру и скоро с четвертого – Восточного, дает возможность работать с ракетами-носителями различных классов – «Союз», «Зенит», «Ангара-А5» – это присваевает ему статус мирового рекордсмена по универсальности. Стоит отметить, что «Фрегат» отрабатывает все погрешности по точности после выведения ракетой-носителем космического аппарата.
На сегодняшний день «Фрегатом» успешно выведено на различные высокоэнергетические орбиты и отлетные траектории около 110 космических аппаратов. Эффективная и надежная работа разгонного блока обеспечивает России лидирующее положение в таком высокотехнологичном, инновационном и коммерчески прибыльном деле, как выведение космических аппаратов на рабочие и отлетные орбиты.
ФГУП «НПО им. С.А. Лавочкина» создало уникальный аппарат, его смело можно назвать автономным роботом с искусственным интеллектом, который обеспечивает весь процесс выведения космических аппаратов в соответствии с полетным заданием без вмешательства с Земли. Межорбитальные космические буксиры «Фрегат» пользуются огромной популярностью, и в ближайшие годы планируется только наращивать количество запусков с использованием этого разгонного блока.
Поздравляем инженеров, конструкторов, разработчиков и всех тех, кто принимал участие в создании и реализации проекта РБ «Фрегат» с юбилейным стартом и желаем не останавливаться на достигнутом!

А "Центавр" в различных вариациях не на большем числе носителей успел полетать?

№1 В сети появились новые видеозаписи пуска ракеты Союз (https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=19&v=AYQau76BDDo) 
№2 Пассажиры наблюдали пуск ракеты, находясь на борту самолета!

Не только наблюдали, но и "запротоколировали" на видео. Первый раз такое вижу.

Новейший спутник Galileo начал передачу сигнала
http://vestnik-glonass.ru/news/tech/noveyshiy-sputnik-galileo-nachal-peredachu-signala/

ЦитироватьМониторинг, осуществляемый учёными Германского аэрокосмического центра, показывает, что один из спутников Galileo полной эксплуатационной готовности (FOC), запущенный 27 марта, начал транслировать стандартные сигналы L-диапазона, используя код псевдослучайной последовательности идентификатор 22.

Первые сигналы E1 и E5 от GSAT0204, также известного под именами FOC-FM4 и Galileo 8 и как NORAD объект 40545, были получены на Международной экспериментальной мульти-ГНСС станции отслеживания и ГНСС-сервиса в Виндхуке, Намибия, около 11:32 Универсального глобального времени 21 мая. Сигналы спутника были последовательно отслежены станцией в Веттцелле, Германия, и, далее, другими.

Сигналы пока не годятся для навигации и станут полноценными, когда спутник заработает в полную силу.

Сами сигналы-то вполне годятся, только вот эфемерид пока нет :)
У второго PRN будет 26, пока принять не удалось.

Сегодня удалось принять и PRN26. Итого имеем:
1 выведен из системы (хотя на E1 стабильно вещает), 3 живых, и 4 на этапе ввода (2 штатно, 2 нет).

Оба 22 и 26 появились в альманахе. Эфемерид нет.

26 в системе
