STPSat 3 is a copy [clarification needed] of the STPSat-2 satellite, adapted to carry six experiments, including a module designed to host various space situational awareness sensors and a pair of space environment sensors. STPSat 3 launched on 19 November 2013, on the ORS-3 Minotaur 1 launch, along with 28 CubeSats. [10]
By April 2020, after further delays and cost overruns, it was expected to launch in January 2021, as a payload on a U.S. Air Force Space Test Program satellite (STPSat 6, part of STP-3 launch). [11] STPSat-6 is destined for an orbit slightly above the geostationary orbit. [12]
Alongside STPSat-6 was an integrated propulsive EELV Secondary Payload Adapter (IP-ESPA) holding up to six payloads. [32] The STP-3 mission also debuted three engineering features designed to reduce risk and accumulate flight experience before use on Vulcan Centaur : an Out-of-Autoclave (OoA) payload fairings, an in-flight power system and GPS ...
To make the first measurements of the visible and near-infrared solar irradiance with sufficient precision for future climate studies. Obtain daily measurements of solar spectral irradiance between 0.3 and 2 μm with a spectral resolution of at least 1/30, an accuracy of 0.03%, and long-term repeatability of better than 0.01%/yr.
TurkSat-3USat is a Turkish communications nanosatellite developed by the Space Systems Design and Test Laboratory and Radio Frequency Electronics Laboratory of Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in collaboration with the Türksat company along with Turkish Amateur Satellite Technology Organization (TAMSAT).
It lifted off on 31 August 2013, 20:05:00 UTC from Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan.The geostationary satellite provides direct-to-home television broadcasting, multimedia, broadband Internet and mobile communications services for 12 years, to communication centers, distribution of internet services and data transmissions to communications networks.
As of 2014, satellite carries 13 radio stations and 128 television channels, mostly free to air, in addition to its services to the government. [23] As of 2018, the satellite carries around 100 TV and radio channels, mostly free to air, in addition to its services to the government. [24]
INSAT-3D is a meteorological, data relay and satellite aided search and rescue satellite developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation and was launched successfully on 26 July 2013 using an Ariane 5 ECA launch vehicle from French Guiana.
