Artist's impression of the Orion Mentor-4 Signals Intelligence Satellite launched in January 2009Orion, also known as Mentor or Advanced Orion, [1] is a class of United States spy satellites that collect signals intelligence (SIGINT) from space.
Like the other international Disneyland parks, Hong Kong Disneyland opened in September 2005 with its own version, known as the Orbitron, a modified version of the Parisian one. In order to improve the attraction's capacity, the rockets became "flying saucers" and were made large enough to accommodate an average of four riders per saucer, in ...
The satellite was built by Lockheed Martin, based on the A2100A platform, and expected to have a useful life of 15 years (10 years operational after five years of standby as an on-orbit replacement). [6] GOES-17 is intended to deliver high-resolution visible and infrared imagery and lightning observations of more than half the globe. [7]
A secondary cause for the increase in Satellite Catalog Numbers was the commercialization of space and break-up events and collisions that have created debris objects. [17] Adaptations of the TLE were considered to extend the number of encodable Satellites within the TLE but instead a new format, the CCSDS OMM (Orbit Mean-Elements Message ...
NOAA-21, designated JPSS-2 prior to launch, [2] is the second satellite in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s latest series of U.S. polar-orbiting, non-geosynchronous, environmental satellites, known as the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS).
OSCAR 1 (Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio 1, also known as OSCAR 1) is the first amateur radio satellite launched by Project OSCAR into low Earth orbit.OSCAR I was launched December 12, 1961, by a Thor-DM21 Agena B launcher from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Lompoc, California.
The Satellite Detection and Reconnaissance Defense (the former designation of the NSSS) reached initial operating capability in 1961. The role of the "fence" grew. The system detected space objects from new launches, maneuvers of existing objects, breakups of existing objects, and provided data to users from its catalog of space objects.
