И где договор о военно-техническом сотрудничестве между Евросоюзом и РФ?

К данной теме это никоим боком...

Когда Сарлупы из Плесецка для Бундесвера пуляли договор не понадобился. А теперь Вы предлагаете со своим уставом в чужой монастырь?

Кто пулял? Ф.И.О. Кто решение/решения принимал? И подписи, разумеется

"Устав" один - "...оказание помощи иностранным военным..." Причем всем подряд и без разбора.

Кто-нибудь может сказать,  какой минимальный интервал может быть между пусками "Союзов" ?
Уже 12е (или 15е?) октября стоит ТМА-06 из Байконура...

Да хоть в один день и одновременно. Формируются отдельные бригады на каждую миссию и они могут одновременно готовить старт в Плесецке, на Байконуре и в Куру

Это неправда. ЦУП НПО-Л - один фрегатовский (зал один). Разносят.
Потом люди из НПЦ АП оодни Одно дело что КУРУ без Земли, так это влияет на то что 32103 не работает.

The Spaceport moves into action for Arianespace's next Soyuz mission to orbit two Galileo satellites

August 8, 2012 – Soyuz Flight VS03

The first of two Galileo In-Orbit Validation (IOV) navigation satellites for Arianespace's next Soyuz mission from the Spaceport has arrived in French Guiana, stepping up the activity involving this mission – which is scheduled in the second half of 2012.

Delivered by a chartered Antonov An-124 cargo jetliner, the Galileo FM3 (Flight Model #3) spacecraft arrived this week at Félix Eboué International Airport near the capital city of Cayenne and was transferred by road to the Spaceport's S1B payload preparation building.

The two Galileo satellites to be orbited on the next Soyuz mission will join another pair lofted by Arianespace on this medium-lift launcher's maiden flight from French Guiana in October 2011. Together, the four spacecraft are to form the minimum coverage required for satellite-based navigation – providing latitude, longitude and altitude data, while also checking ranging accuracy.

As a result, these In-Orbit Validation Galileo satellites will enable European industry to validate prototype Galileo-based receivers and services against actual satellite signals, while also allowing performance assessments of Galileo's ground system that serves to maintain the Galileo system's precision. The IOV spacecraft are produced in a European industry consortium led by the Astrium division of EADS and Thales Alenia Space.

 In addition to the Galileo FM3 spacecraft's arrival this week, team members from Astrium, Thales Alenia Space and the European Space Agency also have converged on the Spaceport, moving into the offices they will use during the pre-launch preparations of this satellite, along with its "sister" passenger – Galileo FM4, scheduled to arrive in French Guiana during the next few days. The team's initial activities included attending safety and operational briefings, along with the kickoff of regular planning and progress meetings.

Long-lead preparations also are underway at the Spaceport's ELS launch site for the upcoming Soyuz mission, which is designated VS03 in Arianespace's numbering system. The "V" represents "flight" (Vol) in French, while "S" signifies the use of a Soyuz launch vehicle, and its "3" denotes the third Arianespace mission of Soyuz from French Guiana.

Galileo is a program initiative of the European Commission and European Space Agency (ESA) for an independent global satellite navigation system. The complete Galileo system will consist of 30 satellites in orbit. Each platform combines an optimized atomic clock for navigation – accurate to one second in three million years – with a powerful transmitter to broadcast precise navigation data worldwide.

Arianespace has been chosen by the European Commission and ESA to deploy the entire Galileo constellation. This activity began in 2005 and 2008 with the launch of the first two experimental satellites, Giove-A and Giove-B, orbited from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan by Arianespace's Starsem affiliate; and then continued last October with the maiden Soyuz launch from French Guiana that carried the constellation's first two operational satellites.

Arianespace's deployment of the remaining spacecraft will continue through 2015, using a mix of both Soyuz and Ariane 5 launch vehicles – underscoring the company's flexibility in orbiting satellite constellations.

The medium-lift Soyuz and heavy-lift Ariane 5 are part of Arianespace's launcher family that operates side-by-side from the Spaceport, which also includes the light-lift Vega vehicle.

Europe's Galileo Flight Model #3 (FM3) satellite is undergoing checkout at the Spaceport in preparation for launch along with its "sister" FM4 co-passenger on Arianespace's next Soyuz mission from French Guiana, which is targeted for the second half of 2012.

Initial activity with FM3 in the Spaceport's S1B clean room facility includes propulsion sub-system testing and a fit check with hardware for the dual-satellite payload arrangement on Soyuz. It was delivered last week, arriving aboard a chartered cargo jetliner from Europe.

Galileo FM3 will soon be accompanied in French Guiana by the FM4 spacecraft, which together are to join another pair lofted by Arianespace on the medium-lift Soyuz launcher's maiden Spaceport flight in October 2011.

All four satellites are In-Orbit Validation platforms that will enable European industry to validate prototype Galileo-based receivers and services against actual satellite signals, while also allowing performance assessments of Galileo's ground system that serves to maintain the Galileo system's precision.  A European industry consortium led by the Astrium division of EADS and Thales Alenia Space have built the IOV spacecraft.

The complete Galileo system will be composed of a 30-satellite constellation in orbit, creating an independent global satellite navigation system for Europe.  Galileo is a program initiative of the European Commission and European Space Agency (ESA), with each spacecraft carrying an optimized atomic clock for navigation and a powerful transmitter to broadcast precise navigation data worldwide.

Arianespace is responsible for deploying the entire Galileo constellation, beginning with the 2005 and 2008 launches of two experimental satellites – Giove-A and Giove-B – from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan by its Starsem affiliate.  This was followed last October by Arianespace's maiden Soyuz launch from French Guiana that carried the constellation's first two operational satellites.  A mix of both Soyuz and Ariane 5 launchers will be used by Arianespace for the Galileo spacecraft, demonstrating the company's flexibility in orbiting satellite constellations.

Fourth Galileo satellite reaches French Guiana launch site

21 August 2012
The next two Galileo satellites are now in place at Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana, being prepared for their shared launch this autumn.
 
 The fourth Galileo satellite flight model arrived at Cayenne Airport in French Guiana on Friday 17 August, flown from the Thales Alenia Space facility in Rome aboard an Ilyushin aircraft.

 Cocooned inside a protective air-conditioned container, the satellite was then transported to the preparation facility at the Guiana Space Centre to join the third Galileo satellite, which arrived there 10 days earlier.
 

   Unloading

These third and fourth Galileo 'In-Orbit Validation' (IOV) satellites are due to be launched aboard a Soyuz ST-B vehicle in October. These new satellites will join the first two Galileo satellites – launched last year – in medium Earth orbit at 23 222 km.

 This will mark a significant step in Europe's programme because it will complete the deployment of infrastructure required for the IOV phase and will allow for the first time a computation of on-ground position based solely on Galileo satellites.
 
 
   
   Galileo IOV in orbit

The IOV phase is being followed by the deployment of additional satellites and ground segment as required to achieve the 'Full Operational Capability', leading to provision of services.

 The first 22 of these FOC satellites are currently being built by OHB in Germany, responsible for the platforms and final satellite integration, and UK-based Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, producing the payloads.

 The first four Galileo IOV satellites have been built by a consortium led by EADS Astrium, Germany, with Astrium producing the platforms and Astrium UK responsible for the payloads.

Readying the "boost" for Galileo satellites on Arianespace's next Soyuz mission at the Spaceport
[/size]



The Fregat upper stage for Arianespace's upcoming Soyuz launch from French Guiana has been moved to the Spaceport's S3B facility, where it will be fueled and integrated with the mission's two Galileo navigation satellites.

Fregat is an autonomous, highly flexible orbital vehicle that can be restarted up to 20 times in flight – enabling it to carry out a wide variety of complex mission profiles.  Built by Russia's Lavochkin Research and Production Association, the Fregat upper stage incorporates an array of six welded spherical tanks – with four spheres serving as the propellant tanks, while the other two operate as sealed instrumentation bays containing the flight control system, along with radio and telemetry systems.

The Fregat to be used on Arianespace's next Soyuz mission from the Spaceport underwent its initial checkout at the launch site's dedicated MIK vehicle assembly building for the Russian-built launcher, and was transferred by road this week to the S3B facility.

To support Arianespace's Soyuz launch activity in French Guiana, the S3B site has been configured for final preparation of Fregat upper stages, along with the mating of their payloads.  This is the fueling location for Fregat, and it contains the integration stand where satellite passengers are installed atop the upper stage, along with the payload fairing.

The upcoming Soyuz mission is set for the second half of 2012, carrying two more In-Orbit Validation (IOV) spacecraft for Europe's Galileo navigation satellite system.  These two spacecraft are to join another pair of Galileo IOV satellites that were launched by Arianespace in October 2011 on Soyuz' maiden flight from French Guiana.  

Having all four IOV spacecraft in orbit will enable the first computation of on-ground positioning based solely on Galileo satellites, marking a significant step in the European program.  This will be followed by deployment of additional satellites and ground segment elements to achieve the Full Operational Capability status, allowing Galileo navigation and positioning services to be provided for users.

The Galileo IOV spacecraft are produced in a European industry consortium led by the Astrium division of EADS and Thales Alenia Space.

Galileo is an initiative of the European Commission and European Space Agency, and is designed to create an independent global satellite navigation system for Europe – while also being interoperable with the U.S. GPS and Russian Glonass networks for enhanced combined performance.  

Arianespace is responsible for deploying the entire Galileo constellation of 30 satellites, using a mix of both its medium-lift Soyuz and Ariane 5 heavy-lift launchers.

Countdown: a month to go to Galileo's next launch
 
10 September 2012
After arriving at the launch site last month, the second pair of Galileo navigation satellites is being prepared for launch from Europe's Spaceport in October.


Galileo satellites in preparation

 This week will see the third Galileo satellite having its propellant tank filled with hydrazine fuel. The fourth recently had its final multilayer thermal insulation added, with its own propellant tank due to be filled next week.

 The twin satellites will be mated to a dispenser for a shared ride aboard the Soyuz ST-B on 10 October, joining the first two Galileos that have been orbiting since October 2011.
 
The quartet of navigation satellites will operate from medium orbit 23 222 km above Earth. This is a significant milestone for Europe's Galileo programme because four is the minimum number required for navigational fixes, enabling full system testing whenever they are all visible in the sky.

 This In-Orbit Validation phase will be followed by the deployment of more satellites and ground segment to achieve 'Full Operational Capability'. After that, users on the ground can exploit the services.

Fueling underway with the Galileo satellites for Arianespace's next Soyuz launch from French Guiana

September 20, 2012 – Soyuz Flight VS03

Both passengers for Arianespace's third Soyuz flight from French Guiana are entering their final processing phase, which includes fueling of the two Galileo navigation satellites prior to their integration on the launcher for liftoff in October.

As part of the activity, Galileo Flight Model #3 (FM3) was fueled this week in the Spaceport's S5 payload preparation facility.

Galileo FM3 and its "sister" FM4 co-passenger subsequently will be integrated side-by-side on a dispenser for their shared ride aboard the Soyuz ST launcher, joining another pair of similar European navigation satellites lofted by Arianespace on the Soyuz launcher's maiden Spaceport flight in October 2011.

These initial four Galileo platforms were built by a consortium led by the Astrium division of EADS, which produced the platforms and has responsibility for the payloads, while Thales Alenia Space handled the assembly and testing tasks.

Once all four of these spacecraft are operating from medium Earth orbit, it will mark an important milestone for the Galileo program – as this is the minimum number required to provide navigational fixes, enabling full system testing for the In-Orbit Validation (IOV) phase. When complete, the Galileo constellation will consist of 30 satellites.

Arianespace has responsibility for deploying the entire Galileo constellation, utilizing a mix of its medium-lift Soyuz and heavy-lift Ariane 5, underscoring the company's flexibility in orbiting satellite constellations. The Arianespace launch services for Galileo began with the 2005 and 2008 orbiting of two experimental satellites – Giove-A and Giove-B – from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan by Arianespace's Starsem affiliate. This was followed last October by Arianespace's maiden Soyuz launch from French Guiana that carried the constellation's first two operational satellites.
