В Японии сообщили об успешном выводе спутников на орбиты
ТОКИО, 23 дек — РИА Новости. Оба японских спутника "Сикисаи" (GCOM-C) и "Цубамэ" (SLATS) успешно выведены на свои орбиты, сообщило в субботу японское аэрокосмическое агентство JAXA.
Метеорологический спутник "Сикисаи" (Global Change Observation Mission, GCOM) будет работать на орбите на высоте 790 километров, в его задачи входят замеры микроскопической пыли в атмосфере и облаках. Он также должен будет измерить степень поглощения двуокиси углерода растениями, чтобы выяснить, как это влияет на содержание этого газа в атмосфере.
Экспериментальный спутник "Цубамэ" (Super Low Altitude Test Satelite, SLATS) должен будет проверить возможность стабильной работы на низких орбитах с высотой 200-300 километров, где высоко сопротивление атмосферы.

Successful Launch, H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 37
Encapsulating SHIKISAI and TSUBAME

December 23, 2017 (JST)

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.
National Research and Development Agency
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and JAXA successfully launched H-IIA Launch Vehicle No. 37 (H-IIA F37) (with upgraded function) which encapsulates the Global Changing Observation Mission - Climate "SHIKISAI" (GCOM-C) and the Super Low Altitude Test Satellite "TSUBAME" (SLATS) at 10:26:22, 2017 (JST) from the JAXA Tanegashima Space Center.

The launch and flight of H-IIA F37 proceeded as planned. So did the separation of SHIKISAI and TSUBAME, which was confirmed respectively at approximately 16 minutes and 13 seconds and 1 hour and 47 minutes 59 seconds after liftoff.

We express sincere appreciation for all.

Current Status of SHIKISAI/GCOM-C,
Global Change Observation Mission – Climate

December 23, 2017 (JST)

National Research and Development Agency
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)

At 10:26:22 a.m. (Japan Standard Time, JST), December 23, 2017, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) launched H-IIA・F37 encapsulating SHIKISAI (GCOM-C, Global Change Observation Mission – Climate).

The reception of telemetry data at the JAXA Mingenew Station, Australia was made at 10:44 a.m. (JST), confirming SHIKISAI's solar array deployment above Australia. After that, at 11:18 a.m. (JST), the satellite's attitude control based on its earth sensors was confirmed by telemetry transmitted to the JAXA Santiago Station.

Images of SHIKISAI's extended solar array wings will be available on the special website designated for JAXA's earth observation satellites.

Super Low Altitude Test Satellite "TSUBAME" (SLATS), Current Status

December 23, 2017 (JST)

National Research and Development Agency
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)

Approximately at 12:54 p.m. (Japan Standard Time, JST), the JAXA Santiago Ground Station, Chile received the signals from TSUBAME (SLATS; Super Low Altitude Satellite), launched from the JAXA Tanegashima Space Center earlier at 10:26:22 a.m. (JST), December 23, 2017. The signal reception confirms that the satellite's solar array deployment and attitude control based on the onboard sun sensors have occurred as scheduled.


Next Press Releases          

The next press release on SHIKISAI and TSUBAME updates will be issued approximately at 2:00 a.m. (JST), December 24, informing the completion of the satellites' critical operations phases*.


*Critical operations phase: the phase that follows satellite's separation from a launch vehicle, solar array deployment, and powering up of instruments for the satellite's regular operations. The critical operations phase comes to an end at the transition to the satellite's control mode for nominal operation.
