СМИ: Тайвань запустит первый метеоспутник собственного производства в сентябре
ГОНКОНГ, 14 июля. /ТАСС/. Тайвань планирует осуществить запуск на орбиту первого метеорологического спутника собственной разработки Triton в сентябре 2023 года. Об этом сообщило Международное радио Тайваня.

По его данным, позже в пятницу аппарат будет отправлен на космодром Куру во Французской Гвиане. Triton запустят при помощи европейской ракеты-носителя Vega-C. Он будет размещен на околоземной орбите высотой от 550 до 650 км.

Метеорологический спутник Triton начал разрабатываться еще в 2014 году. Около 80% оборудования для него было разработано Тайванем самостоятельно, в том числе модуль рефлектометрии. Аппарат будет задействован для получения данных о скорости ветра над поверхностью моря. Эта информация будет использоваться для прогнозирования тайфунов и оценки их возможной траектории.

The Triton satellite — or Wind Hunter (獵風者)
..
Triton is to be put into a circular low Earth orbit at an altitude of about 550km to 650km, the Taiwan Space Agency said.

It is to collect sea-surface wind data that would be combined with ground radar wind field data to better predict heavy rain and the paths of typhoons.

Taiwan Space Agency Director-General Wu Jong-shinn (吳宗信) said that Triton was initially planned to be one of the satellites making up the Formosat-7 constellation before being retasked following structural changes to the nation's space program.

The changes meant that Triton would be made almost entirely in Taiwan in a move aimed at bolstering the domestic aerospace industry, Wu said, adding that research and development for Triton began in 2014.

Eighty-three percent of its key components were manufactured domestically, showing how much the nation's spacecraft research and development capabilities have improved, he said.

Первый после аварии запуск европейской ракеты Vega-C состоится в октябре
ПАРИЖ, 31 августа. /ТАСС/. Европейская ракета-носитель Vega-C впервые после аварии в декабре 2022 года стартует с космодрома Куру во Французской Гвиане 4 октября. Как сообщила компания - оператор запуска Arianespace, ракета выведет на орбиту спутник для наблюдения за поверхностью Земли и метеорологический спутник.

"Следующая миссия компании Arianespace запланирована на среду, 4 октября 2023 года, в 22:36 по местному времени (в 04:36 мск 5 октября - прим. ТАСС) с европейского космодрома во Французской Гвиане с помощью ракеты-носителя Vega", - говорится в сообщении.

Первым на орбиту будет выведен промышленный спутник для исследования Земли THEOS-2, созданный европейской компанией Airbus Defence and Space по заказу Таиланда. Аппарат массой 425 кг способен делать снимки поверхности планеты сверхвысокого разрешения (0,5 м). Он был разработан для исследования Земли, предотвращения стихийных бедствий и ликвидации их последствий, а также для обеспечения безопасности.

Второй спутник - FORMOSAT-7R/TRITON, разработан Тайваньским космическим агентством и оснащен аппаратурой глобальной навигационной спутниковой системы, которая, в частности, будет принимать сигналы, отраженные от морской поверхности. Этот аппарат позволит ученым рассчитывать потоки ветра над океанами и будет передавать данные мировому метеорологическому сообществу, способствуя прогнозированию интенсивности и траектории движения тайфунов, уточняет Arianespace.

Последний запуск Vega-C был произведен 21 декабря 2022 года. Ракета должна была вывести на орбиту спутники дистанционного зондирования Земли Pleiades Neo 5 и Pleiades Neo 6. Однако примерно через 2 минуты 27 секунд после старта произошел сбой работы двигателя. После инцидента пуски этой ракеты были приостановлены.

ARIANESPACE'S NEXT VEGA MISSION WILL EMBARK 12 PASSENGERS

• On October 6, Arianespace will launch two Earth observation satellites, THEOS-2 (Thailand Earth Observation System-2), manufactured by Airbus Defence and Space for the Geo-Informatics and Space Technology Development Agency (GISTDA), and FORMOSAT-7R/TRITON for Taiwan Space Agency (TASA).
• Flight VV23 will also embark ten auxiliary payloads.
• For this mission, the Vega launcher will target a sun-synchronous orbit.

Arianespace's next mission is targeted on Friday, October 6, 2023 at 10:36 p.m. local time (October 7, at 01:36 a.m. UTC), from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana with a Vega launcher. The mission, called VV23, will place its passengers into sun-synchronous orbit.
This mission will embark a main passenger, THEOS-2, and a secondary one, FORMOSAT-7R/TRITON:
THEOS-2 is a high-resolution Earth observation optical satellite, part of the next-generation national geo-information system provided by Airbus Defence and Space to support the Kingdom of Thailand's key development priorities. Delivering 0.5-meter ground resolution imagery, this end to end system will complement THEOS-1, launched in 2008 for Thailand, one of the few nations in the world able to fully exploit geo-information for societal benefits.
FORMOSAT-7R/TRITON, developed by the Taiwanese Space Agency (TASA), is equipped with the Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R), which collects signals that bounce off the sea surface. It helps scientists calculate the wind field over the oceans. This data will be shared with the global meteorology community, contributing to the forecast of typhoon intensity and trajectory.
The 21st mission of Europe's Vega light launcher will also orbit ten auxiliary payloads for six different clients:
ANSER (Advanced Nanosatellite Systems for Earth observation Research) LEADER, ANSER FOLLOWER 1 and ANSER FOLLOWER 2. This cluster of three cubestats working together to study and monitor the quality of inland (reservoirs) water over Iberian Peninsula is led by the Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aerospacial. The launch services is funded by the IOD/IOV program of the European Union.
ESTCube-2, manufactured by the University of Tartu (Estonia), aims to demonstrate deorbiting with plasma brake technology and qualify a deep-space nanospacecraft platform for future missions that will use the electric solar wind sail. The launch services for this mission is funded by the IOD/IOV program of the European Union.
N3SS (Nanosat 3U pour la Surveillance du Spectre) project is a demonstration system for detecting and localize radio-frequency jammers on civil spectrum. CNES is responsible for the system and satellite development and also in charge of the in-flight operations of the satellite. U-Space is the prime contractor for the platform development and the satellite AIT/AIV.
PRETTY (Passive REflecTomeTry and dosimetrY) and MACSAT that will be launched on behalf of SAB-LS. The first one is a 3U cubesat with a primary payload equipped with a passive reflectometer in the L5 Band for GPS and Galileo; and the second one is an in-orbit demonstration (IoD) mission to demonstrate IoT (Internet of things) communication over 5G.
PVCC (Proba-V Companion Cubesat), a 12U cubesat aiming at testing the performance of the payload on a cubesat platform in order to provide data to support the calibration of cubesat Earth observation missions. PVCC is an ESA mission lead by ESA/TEC for the design, launch and commissioning phases and by ESA/ESRIN and ESA/REDU for the operational and end-of-life phases.
CSC-1 & 2, two 6UXL multi-payload IOD cubesats aggregating 7 payloads from 5 countries: Belgium, Spain, Estonia, France and Czechia. They are part of the European Union IOD/IOV program for which ISISPACE/ISL is responsible for the mission implementation.
These small satellites will be carried as auxiliary payloads on the innovative Small Spacecraft Mission Service (SSMS) deployment system. The SSMS rideshare service, developed with the support of the European space industry, was first deployed by Arianespace in September 2020. Funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), Arianespace's SSMS service will soon be joined by the Multiple Launch Service (MLS), a similar offering designed for the Ariane 6 launch vehicle. With these two services, Arianespace can offer a wide range of affordable launch opportunities for small satellites and constellations.
Ten European countries contribute to Vega, which was developed by ESA, with the Italian Space Agency ASI as lead contributor and Avio (based in Colleferro, Italy) as the launcher prime contractor. Avio is in charge of all industrial operations up to liftoff. Vega has been part of the Arianespace launcher family since its first flight in 2012.

^{Запуски европейской ракеты-носителя Vega-C возобновятся не раньше 2024 года
ПАРИЖ, 2 октября. /ТАСС/. Европейское космическое агентство (ЕКА) сообщило, что рассчитывает возобновить запуски новой ракеты-носителя Vega-C не раньше 2024 года после дополнительных тестов двигателя Zefiro40 второй ступени.}

^{"После неудачного запуска ракеты Vega-C (VV22) в декабре 2022 года независимая комиссия по расследованию сделала ряд выводов и дала рекомендации по обеспечению надежного возвращения в полет и надежной эксплуатации. <...> Ожидается, что Vega-C, в которой будут внесены изменения в конструкцию сопла Zefiro40 и проведены технические обзоры, а также два огневых испытания, вернется в полет в четвертом квартале 2024 года", - говорится в заявлении агентства.}

Спойлер

Согласно выводам независимой комиссии, причиной аварии, произошедшей в конце 2022 года, стало повреждение горловины сопла. В компании отметили, что эта деталь "была закуплена итальянской компанией Avio на Украине". В ходе огневого испытания с использованием сопла из нового материала, проведенного 28 июня 2023 года на стенде в Сальто-ди-Квирра в Италии, сопло двигателя получило сильные повреждения. После этого эксперты пришли к выводу, что проблема заключается в геометрии углерод-углеродной вставки сопла и термомеханических свойствах нового материала. Впереди ожидается проведение новых испытаний модифицированного двигателя Zefiro40.

В мае 2023 года сообщалось, что компания-оператор космических запусков Arianespace запустит в декабре 2024 года ракету Vega-C c южнокорейским спутником Kompsat-6 на борту. В будущем ЕКА планирует осуществлять по 4-5 запусков с использованием этих ракет ежегодно.

[свернуть]

При этом гендиректор ЕКА Йозеф Ашбахер сообщил на брифинге после публикации коммюнике, что миссия VV23, запланированная на 6 октября 2023 года с космодрома Куру во Французской Гвиане (в ночь на 7 октября по московскому времени), не отменяется, поскольку в ней будет использована ракета Vega предыдущего поколения. Она выведет на орбиту таиландский спутник для наблюдения за поверхностью Земли Theos-2 и метеорологический спутник Formosat-7R/Triton Тайваньского космического агентства (TASA). Кроме того, в начале 2024 года планируется еще одна миссия с использованием ракеты Vega.
