India To Launch PSLV On Commercial Mission
by Staff Writers
New Delhi (IANS) May 23, 2014



Preparations are on at the rocket port in Sriharikota for the launch of a commercial rocket that would carry five satellites -- two from Canada, and one each from France, Germany and Singapore, an official said Thursday.

"Work on the next launch has started. The rocket launch is slated for last week of June. The rocket will put into orbit a French satellite SPOT-7 weighing around 720 kg," M.Y.S. Prasad, director at Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) told IANS over phone.

It will be the first rocket launch of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government, which will assume charge May 26.

The rocket port is in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota around 80 km from here.

Prasad said piggybacking on the main luggage will be four more small satellites - two from Canada and one each from Germany and Singapore.

He said the total liftoff weight of the rocket Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) will be 230 tonne and its total luggage/satellites weight will be around 830 kg.

During the 12th Five-year Plan (2012-2017), the ISRO is planning to have 60 space missions.

ISRO chairman K. Radhakrishnan had said the space organisation was working at preparing a business model to partner with industries - public and private - so that they have a higher level of participation in the space sector.

The model that the ISRO is looking is for investment, sharing of technology and responsibility and it may take around three or four years to arrive at a model, he said.

ISRO Planning to Launch French Satellite on June 26
Chennai | Jun 13, 2014

ISRO is planning to launch its next rocket PSLV C23 carrying a French remote sensing satellite SPOT 7, along with four others from Sriharikota spaceport on June 26, a senior official said today.

"As of now, we have scheduled the launch of PSLV C23 at 9.50 am on June 26. A 52-hour countdown has been planned, which would commence at 6 AM on June 24," the ISRO official told PTI.

SPOT 7 is an Earth observing satellite, similar to the Indian Remote Satellite System (IRSS), he said, adding four other satellites would also be launched on the same day.

This time around, ISRO would use the core-only edition of the launch vehicle PSLV, he said.

Asked if there would be any change in the date of the launch, he said the date and time also depend on the availability of VIPs, if any, witnessing the launch.

The satellites would be integrated with the launch vehicle on June 16 and a heat shield check would be performed on June 18.

Known for its expertise in launching PSLVs with smaller loads up to 1,600 kg, the national space agency ISRO has earned a name in the space industry, attracting huge sum to the country as foreign exchange.

Space debris may delay PSLV-C23 launch by three minutes


 There may be a three-minute delay in the launch of its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C23 from the Sriharikota spaceport on Monday, owing to the probability of some space debris getting in the way of the rocket, Indian Space Research Organisation chairman K Radhakrishnan told TOI.

"The mission readiness review committee, which met on Friday morning, considered the probability of the rocket encountering space debris and some of the members recommended a slight delay in the time of lift-off. So the launch may now happen at 9.52am, instead of at 9.49am as planned earlier," Radhakrishnan said.

Улетевшая сегодня модель PSLV-CA вообще не имеет ТТУ. "Маленькие ТТУ" - это не ТТУ, это система управления вектором тяги на 1 ступени. Вот у японцев - у тех была модификация H-2A с разнокалиберными ТТУ, там у разных ускорителей было разное время работы.

CanX-4&5 Formation Flying Mission Accomplished                   
November 5, 2014                                      
                      

In only four months following launch, the CanX-4 and CanX-5 dual satellite formation flying mission has been accomplished ahead of schedule.
During the month of October, the CanX-4&5 nanosatellites used on-board propulsion, GPS-based relative navigation, and intersatellite radios to execute a series of precise, controlled, autonomous formations, ranging from 1 km range down to 50 m separation. In each case, more than 10 orbits were accomplished with sub-meter formation control and centimeter-level relative navigation, feats which (to SFL's knowledge) have never before been accomplished at the nanosatellite scale.
"CanX-4 and CanX-5 were designed to demonstrate formation flying in two along-track orbits, and two projected circular orbits,", said Grant Bonin, the CanX-4&5 project manager. "We're pleased to report that we've now completed all of the intended formations, and indications are that have out-performed our control performance requirements in every case. We are very pleased with the results."
Launched on 30 June 2014 from Sriharikota, India onboard the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) which also carried the SPOT-7 satellite and two other spacecraft from Germany and Singapore, the CanX-4 and CanX-5 nanosatellites were deployed separately following launch, after which a series of orbit acquisition and phasing maneuvers were used to bring the satellites within communication range of each other.
Using carrier-phase differential GPS techniques for extremely high-precision relative navigation, the mission first undertook along-track orbit (ATO) formations at 1000m and 500m, after which the two spacecraft were reconfigured to perform projected-circular orbit (PCO) formations (in which one satellite appears to circle the other from a ground observer's standpoint) at 100m and then 50m range. All guidance, navigation and control algorithms were developed in-house and executed autonomously on-orbit, with no ground intervention required during formation flight.
"CanX-4 and CanX-5 have pushed the boundary of what can be achieved with miniature spacecraft", said Dr. Robert Zee, director of the Space Flight Laboratory. "These two satellites have allowed us to demonstrate high-performance formation flying algorithms and hardware that can enable a wide variety of small and large missions."
The technologies and algorithms demonstrated on CanX-4&5 have several applications for a wide range of missions, such as on-orbit inspection and repair, sparse aperture sensing, interferometry, and ground moving target indication.
"Both satellites continue to perform exceptionally well, and we still have a very large fraction of our propellant remaining in CanX-5, and close to a full tank in CanX-4", said Bonin.
SFL intends to begin publishing the detailed results of the CanX-4 and CanX-5 experiments over the next several months. The two spacecraft were designed, built, tested, and are being operated from SFL's Microsatellite Science and Technology Center (MSTC) in Toronto, Canada.

Фитюльку в каталог так и не внесли. Правда, по некоторым источникам, отделение ее от основного КА Velox-I не планировалось ранее чем через три месяца после старта, но прошло уже семь...

Что же касается двух CanX, то они действительно выполнили маневрирование и сближение.

"Azercosmos" OJC to operate and commercialize SPOT 7 high resolution optical Earth observation satellite, to be renamed as Azersky
 02 DECEMBER 2014
 
Baku, 2 December 2014 – Within the strategic cooperation framework between Azerbaijan and France in the space industry, "Azercosmos" OJC, national satellite operator of Azerbaijan, signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Airbus Defence and Space to take over the rights to operate and commercialize the SPOT 7 high resolution (1.5m imagery products) optical Earth observation satellite, which was successfully launched on June 30, 2014 and to be renamed as Azersky. The agreement, which is an important step in the development of relations between Azerbaijan and France, was signed at Bakutel 2014 Telecommunications and Information Technologies Exhibition in the presence of His Excellency President Ilham Aliyev. Mr. President commenced commercial operation of Azersky by acquiring the first symbolic image from the satellite.

The long term strategic cooperation between two parties also includes joint operations of Azersky of Azercosmos and the SPOT 6 high resolution (1.5m imagery products) optical Earth observation satellite of Airbus Defence and Space in a constellation to provide superior service. Moreover, the ground segment to be constructed will allow Azercosmos to access images acquired from Pléiades 1A and 1B, very high resolution (0.5m imagery products) optical Earth observation satellites commercialized by Airbus Defence and Space. This satellite constellation opens up opportunities for many applications, providing the latest images within an unprecedented time frame. The combined acquisition capacity of Azersky and SPOT 6 is equal to six million square kilometres per day – an area ten times the size of France. This means that every day, every point on the globe can be viewed in high-resolution by the Azersky and SPOT 6 satellites.

Azersky was successfully launched on June 30, 2014 on a PSLV Indian launcher and was designed to survive harmful space conditions for at least 12 years. Azersky has a broad range of applications including but not limited to defence and security, emergency response, exploration of natural resources, maritime surveillance, sea faring, environmental protection, urban planning, cartography, agriculture, and tourism. During the next 1.5 years, more than 25 Azerbaijani professionals will be trained in France on optical satellite operations, product development, sales, and marketing of Geo-Information services. This agreement also marks Azercosmos' entry into the commercial business of Earth observation services, including Geo-Information services. This will strengthen Azerbaijan's position among the limited number of countries rendering satellite services.

Rashad Nabiyev, Azercosmos CEO, noted: "This agreement is an important step taken by Azercosmos to diversify our satellite services and bring additional value into the economy of Azerbaijan; and we are glad that Airbus Defence and Space is with us for this challenging journey."

Evert Dudok, Head of Communications, Intelligence and Security (CIS) Business Line at Airbus Defence and Space, said: "It is a great success to have such an agreement with Azercosmos, in a region offering a high potential for satellite imagery and geo-information applications. This cooperation will allow a business and operational model which is brand new and very innovative for us."
