Sea Launch on Track to Loft Intelsat 27

                 BERN, Switzerland, October 30, 2012 — Sea Launch AG, through Energia Logistics Ltd., has conducted a Hardware Acceptance Review of the Zenit-2S launch vehicle to be utilized in support of the Intelsat 27 mission. A team of specialists from the Chief System Engineer's Office at Energia Logistics Ltd., together with specialists from RSC Energia, reviewed all of the acceptance data for the Zenit-2S #SL 36 vehicle and found that all required acceptance test values were within specification.
             
             The Condock-IV sea-based transport vessel carrying the Zenit-2S launch vehicle designated for Intelsat 27 departed the port at Oktyabrsky, Ukraine on October 28, 2012 and is scheduled to arrive pier-side at Sea Launch's Home Port facility in Long Beach, California on December 7, 2012. The Block DM-SL upper stage designated for Intelsat 27, provided by RSC Energia, was shipped to Home Port earlier this year and the Payload Accommodations, provided by Boeing Commercial Space Company, will arrive on December 5th. The Intelsat 27 satellite is planned for launch in late January 2013.
             
             Built by Boeing Satellite Systems Inc., Intelsat 27 will weigh approximately 6,203 kilograms (13,675 lbs.) at launch. It is expected to arrive at the Sea Launch facility in early December in preparation for the start of standalone and combined spacecraft operations.

Генеральный директор компании "Энергия-Лоджистикс" (г.Королев) Дмитрий Кахно:
- Как идет работа по пусковым кампаниям 2013 года?

- Работа идет в соответствии с планами, построенными на основании манифеста запусков компании Sea Launch AG, утвержденного Советом директоров этой компании. Ракета-носитель "Зенит-2S" №36 успешно и в соответствии с графиком прошла техническую приемку на предприятии-изготовителе (ГП "ПО Южмашзавод" ). Ее перегрузили на транспортное судно, прибытие которого в базовый порт (Лонг-Бич, США) ожидается в первой декаде декабря. Эта ракета-носитель, а также разгонный блок ДМ-SL №35Л обеспечат своевременный запуск космического аппарата Intelsat-27 (первый запуск в 2013 году).

Intelsat 27



Intelsat 22 [BSS]
 Intelsat 27 similar

Intelsat S.A. announced in August 2010, that it has commenced construction of the Intelsat 27 satellite (IS-27). IS-27 was ordered in 2009 as an then unassigned satellite in a four satellite package. IS-27 will have a hybrid C- and Ku-band design for media and network customers and will be augmented with a 20 × 25 kHz channel UHF payload for use in government applications. IS-27 is expected to be launched by December 2012 and will be placed in the Atlantic Ocean Region as a replacement for the Intelsat 805 satellite.

The IS-27 UHF hosted payload provides capability to complement the existing UFO (UHF Follow-On) and future MUOS (Multi-User Objective System) satellites. The payload supports DAMA and IW operations, and is digitally tunable and completely interoperable with existing terminals. The IS-27 UHF payload will be functionally equivalent to the Navy's UFO-11 satellite.

The payload is powered by two solar wings, each with three panels of ultra triple-junction gallium arsenide solar cells.

Intelsat signed an agreement with Boeing Space and Intelligence Systems for manufacturing of IS-27 in August 2010. Intelsat authorized Boeing to proceed with the UHF hosted payload in the second quarter of 2010 for long-lead construction in order to meet a launch date in 2012.

In March 2010, the Navy submitted a UHF augmentation plan to Congress. A commercially hosted UHF payload was one of the solutions described to mitigate the shortfall in UHF capability. On May 10, 2010, SPAWAR issued a Sources Sought notice to industry requesting solutions for UHF augmentation. The government of Italy has agreed in October 2012 to assume control of the UHF-band military payload following Intelsat's failure to enlist U.S. Defense Department interest.

//IS-27 Progressing Toward Launch

The Intelsat 27 launch campaign is going very smoothly at the Sea Launch Home Port in Long Beach, CA. Boeing has completed all electrical and mechanical testing of the satellite. After the successful completion of testing, approximately 7,500 lbs. of satellite propellants were loaded onto the satellite. This fuel will be used for orbit raising and station keeping.

The Zenit launch vehicle arrived from its 45-day journey from the Ukraine to Long Beach aboard the cargo ship, Condock IV. It was offloaded and loaded on the Sea Launch Assembly and Command Ship (ACS). The ACS acts as a mobile launch vehicle processing facility. The Ukrainian and Russian teams are working the preprocessing of the rocket and upper stage.

//Launch Milestone

On Jan. 2, we reached a major milestone for the Intelsat 27 launch campaign - we began combined operations.  The satellite has now been mated to the launch vehicle adapter. Boeing successfully lifted the fully fueled satellite, and the Sea Launch technicians tightened the clamp band which holds the satellite onto the adapter. Once on orbit this clamp band will release via a pyrotechnic device, allowing the springs to push the satellite away from the upper stage.

Платформа Odyssey вышла из Лонг-Бича вчера, судно Sea Launch Commander последует 19 января.

Лет 10 назад было заключено аниILSовское соглашение французами, японцами и Морским стартом: Если у одного из участников этой Антанты возникнут проблемы с запуском спутника в оговороенный с заказчиком срок, то другие постараются ему помочь - произвести это запуск своей РН ...
Мне кажется, еще пару лет назад аналогичную Антанту имело смысл заключить ILS и Морскому старту. Кажется, еще перед первой аварией Бриза в 2012 кто-то здесь заметил, что у Протона очень напряженный пусковой манифест и в результате одна Astra сбежала на Ариан-5 ...
Потом были две аварии Бриза + Казахстан на основе ранее достигнутых договоренностей начал сокращать число запусков Протона. На 2013 он разрешил 12, а на 2014, очевидно, будет еще меньше ..   Мне кажется, соглашение между ILS/ЦИХ и морским стартом надо заключать.Товарищ Роскосмос, почему его еще нет?

Rocket Signing

The Intelsat 27 launch team gathered for the rocket signing ceremony, which traditionally occurs after the fairing and satellite are mated to the rocket. With Intelsat 27 now encapsulated, the team and several customers came together to sign the base of the rocket, near the main engines. Several key customers, including Panasonic and Gogo, were in attendance.

Head Start

This morning, the launch platform (LP) Odyssey left Long Beach on its way to the equator (between Hawaii and Tahiti). It was a gorgeous sight and the weather was perfect. Since the LP only travels at 10 knots, we let it get a head start. On Saturday, Jan. 19, the Assembly and Command Ship (ACS), which travels at about 20 knots, will depart. The ACS should be able to catch up to the LP by the following Wednesday if all goes well. We will then travel in tandem to the launch site. Once we arrive, we start the L-72 countdown.

To get a feel for how large the LP is, take a look at the crew member (in blue overalls) standing on the pontoon.

We Have Arrived

 The Assembly Command Ship (ACS) and the launch platform (LP) have reached the launch site at the equator. We have begun prep for the L-72 hour countdown, and have been testing the fire suppression system and ground system equipment that will support the launch.

 To achieve this, we must transport up to 30 engineers and technicians from the ACS to the LP. How does Sea Launch transport 30 personnel from one sea vessel to the other? The ACS comes within 50 feet and deploys a link bridge that will span across open seas to allow personnel to cross. This requires precision maneuvering by both vessels in heavy sea swells.

 Check out how Sea Launch brings the link bridge over to the LP in this video.



 Below, Sea Launch tests the fire suppression systems approximately 72 hours before launch.

Final Preparations Begin

 With the launch platform submerged and in position, the launch of Intelsat 27 is getting close. The rocket segment personnel are preparing the ground support equipment in preparation for today's roll out. During the roll out from the hanger, the launch vehicle will be moved into a vertical position. In parallel, they are conducting the laborious process of prepping the rocket fuels in preparation for fueling operations on launch day.

 Once all pre-launch activities are complete, the rocket is ready to roll on L-1 (day before launch). Boeing Satellite Systems and Intelsat will be on the launch pad in the early morning of L-1 to check on the satellite.
