SPACEFLIGHT NOW
Posted: April 24, 2014
 
After correcting a defect discovered on four spacecraft already in orbit, Thales Alenia Space has shipped the second group of four O3b Networks Ltd. broadband communications satellites to French Guiana for final launch preparations and fueling ahead of liftoff in June, officials announced Thursday.

 The O3b communications satellites are next on the Soyuz launch manifest at the Guiana Space Center in South America, with their arrival at the launch base occurring two weeks before the shipment of Europe's first two fully operational Galileo navigation satellites.
The Galileo satellites are due to be transported to French Guiana on May 7 from the European Space Agency's test center in the Netherlands, according to Mario de Lepine, a spokesperson for Arianespace, which operates the Soyuz launcher from the Guiana Space Center.
The launch of the first two Galileo Full Operational Capability, or FOC, satellites is scheduled for August, de Lepine said.
Although ESA claims the Galileo satellites would be ready for launch before the end of June, officials said Arianespace's decision to launch the O3b satellites first was based on which payload arrived at the launch site first.
The O3b satellites were scheduled for launch in September 2013, and the satellites were already in French Guiana preparing for launch before the four spacecraft were shipped back to the Thales Alenia Space factory in Rome to repair a defect discovered on four identical satellites launched for O3b in June 2013.

 O3b Networks, based in the Channel Islands, never officially disclosed the specific problem detected on the company's first four satellites. Sources familiar with the glitch said the defect was in the spacecraft's communications system, but they declined to reveal details.
The launch of the second set of four O3b satellites is currently scheduled for around June 27, and an additional four O3b payloads are on track for liftoff on another Soyuz flight in November.
"Our satellites are now on their way to French Guiana and will be launched in late June," said Steve Collar, CEO of O3b Networks, in a press release Thursday. "In the meantime, we continue to roll out our commercial service, bringing up customers on the initial constellation."
O3b's name stands for the "other 3 billion," referring to the number of people beyond the reach of fiber connectivity. The satellites are designed to link customers in developing countries with the global Internet infrastructure from a unique orbit about 5,000 miles, or 8,000 kilometers, over the equator.

 The startup company inaugurated service in March with its current fleet of four satellites. Telecom Cook Islands was the first customer to use the satellite-based broadband service, and Collar said in March that O3b had demonstrated high-speed connectivity on Royal Caribbean's cruise liner Oasis of the Seas.
"The reaction that we have had so far from customers and end users has been spectacular. We have been saying that O3b will deliver 'fiber from the sky' and our customers are now telling us that they are experiencing exactly that," Collar said in a statement. "The combination of high speed and low latency is compelling. We can't wait to get our next four satellites in orbit and to bring more customers and services online."
The company says tests with customers have attained throughput of up to 1.6 gigabits per second and round trip latency below 150 milliseconds, beyond the system's designed capabilities.
Because O3b took the first slot in Arianespace's Soyuz manifest, the launch of the first two Galileo FOC satellites is expected some time in August, officials said.
The Galileo navigation system is a joint project between ESA and the European Commission, the executive body of the European Union.

 Arianespace aims to launch four Soyuz rockets from French Guiana this year. One of the missions is already in the books after the successful deployment of Europe's Sentinel 1A satellite in orbit April 3, marking the first launch for the EU's flagship Copernicus Earth observation program.
European officials are pushing to launch six Galileo satellites this year, which may be feasible if Arianespace opts to put four spacecraft on a single Ariane 5 rocket mission at the end of 2014. Officials say the development of a special satellite dispenser to accommodate four Galileo satellites on an Ariane 5 rocket is on track to be ready for launch by December.

O3b satellites begin journey to Le Centre Spatial Guyanais

Company preparing for launch of satellites 5-8 in its constellation
St. John, Jersey, Channel Islands –O3b Networks  announces that its second group of 4 satellites have begun their journey from the Thales Alenia Space facility in Rome to the launch site from Le Centre Spatial Guyanais (CSG) at Kourou in French Guiana.
The company's first 4 satellites, which we were launched in 2013, are operating successfully in orbit. Telecom Cook Islands was the first customer to be brought up on the constellation earlier this year. Many more customers are completing testing and will be turning up commercial service before the next launch.
Tests with customers have attained stunning throughput of up to 1.6Gbps and round trip latency below 150msec. Live interoperability testing reveals that O3b's innovative Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite constellation can support the low latency required for cutting edge 4G/LTE technologies.
Steve Collar, CEO of O3b Networks said:
"Our satellites are now on their way to French Guiana and will be launched in late June. In the meantime, we continue to roll out our commercial service, bringing up customers on the initial constellation."

ЦитироватьThe O3b Networks payload "cluster" takes form for Arianespace's upcoming Soyuz launch

June 19, 2014 – Soyuz Flight VS08

Payload integration is underway for the four O3b Networks connectivity satellites to be orbited by Arianespace on its next Soyuz mission, scheduled for liftoff on July 10 from the Spaceport in French Guiana.

This integration involves a step-by-step installation of the spacecraft on a tube-shaped dispenser system, with the activity taking place inside the Spaceport's S5 payload preparation facility.

The dispenser will release O3b Networks' four satellites into a medium-altitude Earth orbit during the mission, enabling these platforms to join the company's initial batch of connectivity spacecraft lofted by Arianespace aboard another Soyuz in June 2013.

Thales Alenia Space produced the Ka-band relay platforms, which have a liftoff mass of approximately 700 kg. each and will create a constellation providing telecommunications and Internet services over Asia, Africa, South America, Australia and the Middle East – combining the global reach of satellite coverage with the speed of a fiber-optic network.

The July 10 flight will be Arianespace's eighth mission from French Guiana with its workhorse medium-lift Soyuz, and carries the VS08 designation in the company's launcher family numbering system.  Soyuz joins Arianespace's other two launchers in service at the Spaceport: the heavy-lift Ariane 5, and lightweight Vega.




The second of four O3b Networks satellites to be orbited on Arianespace's upcoming Soyuz mission is integrated on the dispenser system during activity in the Spaceport's S5 payload preparation building.  Soyuz Flight VS08 will be the second performed for O3b Networks.

Fuelling complete
http://www.o3bnetworks.com/additional-pages/blog/fuelling-complete

ЦитироватьIn just two weeks O3b's second set of birds will launch from Kourou, French Guiana. We have successfully completed the fuelling phase of the launch campaign. Satellite FM6 was the last of the four satellites to be fuelled. Now complete, this marks the end of the launch campaign's fuelling phase. The final satellite is now being prepared for mating to the dispenser.

At this end of the week, we will enter the final stretch of the launch campaign, know as the Combined Operations phase (POC).

This phase will take 10 days and consists of moving the satellite / dispenser from the Hazardous Processing Facility (HPF / S5A) to the S3B building on D minus 7 (Launch Day minus 7 days).  Here the satellite / dispenser will be mated to the FREGAT (Soyuz upper stage) and then encapsulated (Fairing Integration) on D minus 5.  The Upper Composite (satellites / dispenser / FREGAT) will then be transferred to the launch pad / ZLS and hoisted on top of the launcher on D minus 3.  After final checkouts, the satellites will be ready to be launched on D0 (Day of Launch).

Stay tuned as we make our descent to the launch pad...July 10, 2014

ЦитироватьO3b's satellite cluster receives its orbital "kick" for the upcoming Arianespace Soyuz launch

July 2, 2014 – Soyuz Flight VS08

The next satellite cluster for O3b Networks' affordable, high-speed connectivity system has been mated to its Fregat upper stage in French Guiana, marking one of the final steps in Arianespace's Soyuz launch campaign for a liftoff next week from the Spaceport.

During operations in the Spaceport's S3B payload preparation facility, the four satellites – which previously were integrated on their tube-shaped dispenser system – have been mated atop Soyuz' Fregat upper stage. The highly flexible Fregat stage will perform multiple burns during Arianespace's July 10 flight, deploying the spacecraft into orbit.

This week's mating operation with Fregat will be followed by Soyuz' subsequent rollout to the ELS launch complex near the French Guiana town of Sinnamary, allowing the satellite payload to be installed on the medium-lift workhorse launcher.

The July 10 mission, designated Flight VS08 in Arianespace's launcher family numbering system, will be the eighth with Soyuz since the vehicle's 2011 introduction at the Spaceport – joining the company's heavy-lift Ariane 5 and lightweight Vega.

Flight VS08 will be the second Arianespace mission at the service of O3b Networks, following the orbiting of its initial four satellites with Soyuz in June 2013.

O3b Networks' Ka-band relay platforms will create a satellite constellation for telecommunications and Internet services that combine high speed and affordable costs for billions of people across the world who do not yet have adequate internet access. Thales Alenia Space produced the spacecraft, which have a liftoff mass of approximately 700 kg. each.
