GOES-U also carries a copy of the Naval Research Laboratory's Compact CORonagraph (CCOR) instrument which, along with the CCOR planned for Space Weather Follow On-Lagrange 1 (SWFO-L1), will allow continued monitoring of solar wind after the retirement of the NASA-ESA SOHO satellite in 2025. [8] [9] GOES-U has a dry mass of 2,925 kg (6,449 lb ...
Astra 1P (also known as SES-24) is an Astra communications satellite, built by Thales Alenia Space for owner/operator SES.Launched by SpaceX on 20 June 2024, the satellite is positioned in geostationary orbit, in SES's primary European broadcasting slot at 19.2° East, where it has joined and will eventually replace the Astra 1KR, Astra 1L, Astra 1M, and Astra 1N satellites currently stationed ...
The satellite was launched aboard the LVM3-D1 rocket in the evening of 5 June 2017 to a geostationary transfer orbit perigee of 180 km (112 mi). This was followed by a series of orbit raising operations (using an on-board LAM and chemical thrusters [ 1 ] ) to place the satellite in the intended geostationary orbital slot.
LightSail 2 [17] is carried by the Prox-1 nanosatellite. [17] Other satellites and payloads included Oculus-ASR nanosatellite, [18] GPIM, [19] [20] [21] and the Deep Space Atomic Clock. [22] The STPSat-4 satellite was launched on 2 November 2019 onboard the Cygnus NG-12 mission and was subsequently deployed to orbit from the ISS on 29 January ...
