PerúSAT-1 takes shape in Airbus Defence and Space's cleanrooms
December 15, 2015 - News
 - The satellite's platform and its very high resolution optical instrument have been successfully integrated
 - PerúSAT-1 incorporates the latest technologies from Airbus Defence and Space, the number one exporter of Earth observation satellites
 
PerúSAT-1, a future very high resolution Earth observation satellite built by Airbus Defence and Space for CONIDA, the Peruvian Space Agency, is taking shape with the instrument now mated onto the platform. The satellite will soon undergo a comprehensive test campaign as a complete system.
The integration work, carried out in the cleanrooms of Airbus Defence and Space in Toulouse (France), is progressing well on schedule so as to deliver the satellite less than two years after the entry into force of the contract, a record delivery time for such a powerful satellite system. The launch of PerúSAT-1 is scheduled for mid-2016.
The turnkey solution used on PerúSAT-1 incorporates a very advanced silicon carbide Naomi family instrument designed to deliver imagery at 70 cm resolution over a lifetime of 10 years, which is integrated on Airbus Defence and Space's new AstroBus-S, a very agile and compact platform with advanced technological features and components developed in cooperation with CNES, the French Space Agency, in the frame of the Myriades-Evolution initiative. PerúSAT-1 will be the most powerful Earth observation satellite operated from Latin America.
PerúSAT-1 is a comprehensive programme that includes not only this latest-generation optical satellite, but also a ground control and image reception and processing segment in the Peruvian National Centre for Satellite Imagery Operation (CNOIS), built by Airbus Defence and Space. One of the project's goals is to develop Peru's competences in space technologies, satellite operation and appropriate imaging applications, and Airbus Defence and Space is supplying images from its fleet of optical and radar satellites. More than 80 Peruvian specialists are taking part in the technology transfer program in Toulouse and in Lima.

Peru's first Earth observation satellite arrives in French Guiana for its Vega launch

After touching down in French Guiana aboard a cargo jetliner, the protective shipping container with PerúSAT-1 is positioned via crane for its transportation by road to the Spaceport.

The PerúSAT-1 passenger for Arianespace's next Vega mission is now in French Guiana, where payload preparations are beginning for a September liftoff fr om the Spaceport.
                            
Built by Airbus Defence and Space based on its AstroBus-S platform, the spacecraft was transported fr om Toulouse, France – where it was produced – aboard a cargo aircraft, which touched down in French Guiana at Cayenne's Félix Eboué Airport late last week.
Following its transfer by road to the Spaceport's S3B payload preparation facility, PerúSAT-1 is in position for final checkout and integration with Vega before lifting off fr om the South American launch facility – wh ere Arianespace operates its family of light-lift Vega, medium-weight Soyuz and heavy-lift Ariane 5 vehicles.
PerúSAT-1 – which is the first Earth observation satellite for Peru – was ordered by the country's government for its national space agency, CONIDA (La Comisión Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Aeroespacial). The spacecraft incorporates an advanced silicon carbide instrument system designed to deliver imagery at a 70-cm. resolution over a lifetime of 10 years.
Designated VV07 in Arianespace's numbering system, next month's Vega mission will mark the light-lift vehicle's seventh flight from French Guiana since beginning operations from this equatorial launch site in 2012. It also will be the first Vega mission to be performed by Arianespace in 2016.

PerúSAT-1 is prepared for Arianespace's next Vega launch from the Spaceport

PerúSAT-1 is removed from its protective shipping container during activity inside the Spaceport's S3B clean room facility.

Peru's initial Earth observation satellite – PerúSAT-1 – is getting a first look inside the Spaceport's S3B clean room, wh ere payload preparations are advancing for Arianespace's Vega mission on September 16.
                            
PerúSAT-1 was removed from its protective shipping container after being delivered late last week from Toulouse, France – wh ere the spacecraft was produced – to French Guiana via cargo jetliner, then transferred by road to the Spaceport.
Built by Airbus Defence and Space based on its AstroBus-S platform, PerúSAT-1 incorporates an advanced silicon carbide instrument system that is designed to deliver imagery at a 70-cm. resolution over a lifetime of 10 years. It was ordered by the Peruvian government for operation by the country's national space agency, CONIDA (La Comisión Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo Aeroespacial).
The Vega launch with PerúSAT-1 is designated VV07 in Arianespace's numbering system and will follow the company's upcoming Ariane 5 flight at the service of Intelsat – which is scheduled for liftoff on August 24.
Flight VV07 will mark the light-lift Vega's seventh launch overall, and the first this year from Europe's Spaceport – which already has seen three successful heavy-lift Ariane 5 missions, as well as two with the medium-weight Soyuz vehicle.

New payload preparation milestones bring Ariane 5's upcoming mission closer to liftoff

The latest payload preparations for Ariane 5's Flight VA232 are captured above. In the photo at left, Intelsat 33e is shown being lowered for integration atop the SYLDA dual-passenger dispenser system; while at right, the Intelsat 36 co-passenger is "topped off" with its onboard propellant.

The two satellite passengers for Ariane 5's August 24 flight – both of which will be orbited at the service of global operator Intelsat – are advancing through their payload preparation phases during parallel activity at the Spaceport in French Guiana.   
                            
Designated Flight VA232 in Arianespace's numbering system, the upcoming mission will loft Intelsat 33e and Intelsat 36 to geostationary transfer orbit. It is scheduled as the company's sixth launch to be performed in 2016, as well as the fourth this year using a heavy-lift Ariane 5. Arianespace's full launcher family is rounded out by the medium-weight Soyuz and light-lift Vega.
Intelsat 33e – the first of the two payloads to arrive in French Guiana – has completed its initial checkout, and during preparations carried out yesterday, was installed on the launch vehicle's SYLDA dual-passenger dispenser system. The latter step was performed in the Spaceport's Final Assembly Building and positions Intelsat 33e for the upper slot of Ariane 5's payload arrangement.
As the second spacecraft of the next-generation Intelsat EpicNG series, Intelsat 33e – which was produced by Boeing – integrates one of the most advanced commercially-available digital payloads in the world. The first Intelsat EpicNG satellite, Intelsat 29e, was successfully delivered to geostationary transfer orbit on an Ariane 5 mission performed in January.
Flight VA232's Intelsat 36 co-passenger marked an important pre-launch milestone of its own yesterday with the loading of onboard propellant, which occurred in the S5A hall of the Spaceport's S5 payload preparation facility. Following its upcoming transfer to the Final Assembly Building, this spacecraft will be integrated as the August 24 mission's lower payload.
Built by SSL (Space Systems Loral), Intelsat 36 will enhance Intelsat's premier direct-to-home neighborhood in Africa after reaching its final orbital position.

PerúSAT-1 is checked "fit" for Arianespace's next Vega launch

A pioneering Earth observation satellite for Peru has made initial contact with launcher hardware as PerúSAT-1 completes its fit-check in preparation for a September 16 liftoff from French Guiana aboard an Arianespace Vega launch vehicle.

The fit-check is a regular milestone during mission preparations at Arianespace's Spaceport launch site in French Guiana, verifying the physical matchup of a payload with the hardware that serves as its interface when integrated on the launcher. Once the step is achieved, a payload is cleared to continue the pre-launch processing.

For PerúSAT-1, this activity was performed in the Spaceport's S3B satellite preparation facility during the weekend, following its delivery last week from Europe to French Guiana.

Спойлер

PerúSAT-1 is based on a compact AstroBus-S spacecraft platform produced by Airbus Defence and Space, which combines the advantages of a low-mass system with the performance of a larger Earth observation platform.

Ordered in 2014 by the Peruvian government for its national space agency, CONIDA, PerúSAT-1 is equipped with a revolutionary silicon carbide optical instrument system to image Earth at 70 cm. resolution, and will serve as the country's first Earth observation satellite.

The Vega mission with PerúSAT-1 is designated Flight VV07 in Arianespace's launcher family numbering system, signifying the light-lift vehicle's seventh launch overall, and its first this year from Europe's Spaceport.

So far during 2016, Arianespace has performed three successful heavy-lift Ariane 5 missions, as well as two utilizing the medium-weight Soyuz vehicle – with another Ariane 5 launch in preparation for liftoff on August 24.

Vega's multi-satellite payload integration begins for Arianespace Flight VV07

This photo series shows PerúSAT-1 being placed in the VESPA dispenser system for multi-satellite payloads carried by Vega (at left), followed by its encapsulation (center and right).

PerúSAT-1 has been installed in the multi-payload dispenser system that will enable this spacecraft to be launched on Arianespace's upcoming Vega light-lift mission fr om French Guiana, along with a cluster of satellites for Terra Bella.
                            
The integration activity occurred in the Spaceport's S3B preparation facility, wh ere PerúSAT-1 was installed inside the VESPA dispenser – readying it for positioning as the lower payload on Vega Flight VV07, scheduled for liftoff on September 15.
VESPA is similar in function to the larger SYLDA dispenser on Ariane 5's heavy-lift launch vehicle. These systems enable multiple payloads to be assembled on a single launcher and orbited in sequence during a mission.

 

PerúSAT-1's deployment in Vega's flight sequence

For Flight VV07, the Terra Bella satellites will be released in the second phase of the mission's deployment sequence.
PerúSAT-1 was built by Airbus Defence and Space for Peru's CONIDA national space agency and is outfitted with a silicon carbide optical instrument system to image Earth at 70 cm. resolution. It will serve as the country's first Earth observation satellite, with a liftoff mass of approximately 450 kg.

Vega's payload is "buttoned up" for launch by Arianespace

Encapsulation of Flight VV07's passengers is highlighted in these three photos. At left, one of the payload fairing's half-shells is positioned around the payloads, seen in an image looking upward from the VESPA dispenser system that contains PerúSAT-1. In the photos at center and right, the two-piece payload fairing is closed up to complete the encapsulation process.
 
The passengers for Arianespace's upcoming Vega flight are now encapsulated in their protective fairing. This component will shield the mission's PerúSAT-1 and Terra Bella satellites during initial climb-out from French Guiana on September 15.   
                            
Encapsulation, performed in the Spaceport's S3B preparation facility, marked completion of the payload integration phase for Arianespace Flight VV07, which will place the Peruvian Earth observation and Terra Bella spacecraft into elliptic low-Earth orbits.
The satellite passengers' arrangement places PerúSAT-1 – a very high resolution optical observation spacecraft developed for Peru's CONIDA national space agency – in a dispenser system called VESPA (Vega Secondary Payload Adaptor). Terra Bella's spacecraft are in the upper position atop VESPA.

 

The seventh mission for Arianespace's light-lift Vega

With the satellites now encapsulated in the payload fairing, this upper component of Vega – referred to as the "composite" – is ready for installation atop the launcher early next week.
During the September 15 mission, separation of the payload fairing will occur approximately four minutes into the flight, once Vega has ascended through the atmosphere's denser layers.
Flight VV07 is scheduled for a nighttime liftoff from the Spaceport on the seventh launch overall for this lightweight vehicle. Vega is part of Arianespace's launcher family that also includes the medium-lift Soyuz and heavyweight Ariane 5. The four-stage Vega is delivered to Arianespace by Italy's ELV, which is production prime contractor.

Vega is cleared for its September 15 launch with a multi-satellite payload

The seventh Vega mission fr om French Guiana has been authorized for liftoff tomorrow following completion of its launch readiness review, which was conducted today at the Spaceport.

This assessment – held prior to each flight of an Arianespace launcher family member – confirmed that the lightweight vehicle and its multi-passenger payload are flight-ready, along with the Spaceport's infrastructure and the network of downrange tracking stations.
Tomorrow's mission is designated VV07 in Arianespace's numbering system, and it will be performed from the Spaceport's SLV launch site – wh ere the Vega was assembled and now stands in a flight-ready configuration, protected by a mobile gantry that will be withdrawn prior to liftoff.
Flight VV07 will mark Arianespace's seventh of 11 missions targeted in 2016, and is the company's first this year using a Vega launcher – which is one of three launch vehicles operated by Arianespace at the Spaceport, along with the medium-lift Soyuz and heavyweight Ariane 5. Vega's production prime contractor is ELV, a company created by Avio and the Italian Space Agency.
 

A Vega launch for the U.S. and Peru

With today's readiness review completed, all is set for the September 15 nighttime launch beginning precisely at 10:43:35 p.m. local time at the Spaceport in French Guiana. The flight will last approximately one hour and 42 minutes from liftoff to separation of the final spacecraft in its payload arrangement, which integrates a cluster of four satellites for U.S.-based Terra Bella, along with Peru's PerúSAT-1.
The payload arrangement places PerúSAT-1 – a very high resolution optical observation spacecraft developed for Peru's CONIDA national space agency, with an estimated liftoff mass of 430 kg. – in a dispenser system called VESPA (Vega Secondary Payload Adaptor). PerúSAT-1 is the country's first Earth observation satellite, and its launch is being carried out under a turnkey agreement between Airbus Defence and Space and CONIDA.
Terra Bella's four spacecraft – SkySat-4, -5, -6 and -7 – are in the upper position atop VESPA, and will be released one-by-one during the flight sequence's 40-minute mark, to be followed by PerúSAT-1's separation approximately one hour and two minutes later.
The SkySat satellites each weigh approximately 110 kg. for liftoff, and after their separation, they will be used to provide very-high-resolution maps of Earth in its entirety – augmenting the existing three in-orbit satellites for new Arianespace customer Terra Bella, which is a Google company.
