Weather satellite to be delivered in orbit to Eumetsat. Later this month, Europe's newest meteorology satellite, MetOp-B, will blast into space from Baikonur Cosmodrome. USGS Takes Over a Satellite Mission from NASA. Compared to the first Vega flight, VV02 will change both the inclinations and orbital altitudes for the satellites. Posted by Keith A Delta IV Heavy demonstration flight occurred in December 2004, and the first Air Force operational mission was launched in November 2007. Healthy, officials are considering the possibility of an “external disturbance” — a micrometeoroid collision — causing an “attitude disturbance” in the satellite's orbit 22,300 mi. The four-stage VV-02 Vega launch vehicle undergoes final preparations, ahead of its ambitious mission to inject satellites into two different orbital altitudes. Crews from the two nations met for the first time in orbit as part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975, paving the way for further international missions and the eventual creation of an International Space Station (6). ULA Delta IV Heavy Puts NRO Satellite Into Orbit. Geological Survey EROS Center in Sioux Falls will officially take over the Landsat 8 satellite mission from NASA on Thursday. Following the review of three candidate concepts at the Board's meeting today, the Biomass mission concept is set to become the next in a series of satellites developed to further our understanding of Earth. The malfunctions resulted in a lower orbit injection for the Cosmos 2470, also known as Geo-IK-2, a Russian geodesy satellite. The Kepler telescope, a satellite telescope in orbit around the Sun* designed to look for exoplanets, has come to the end of its original mission. The satellite will be designed to provide, for the first time from Three missions currently in orbit are providing new insight into Earth's cryosphere, gravity and soil moisture and ocean salinity. Beijing's rapid progress in space has been marked by milestones such as manned space flights, anti-satellite (ASAT) missile tests, and a significant increase in its co-orbital satellite activities. Orbital will provide its LEOStar-2 spacecraft platform and conduct systems integration and test for the Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) mission at its Dulles, VA satellite design and production facilities. A Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) stopped sending imaging and sounding data late May 22, prompting the Boeing-made satellite to enter into an orbital safe mode. The latter involves small satellites that The reported bumping of the SJ-12 and the SJ-6F satellites (and the continuing Chinese silence on the mission) fueled speculations that Beijing was engaged in yet another anti-satellite weapons test. Over the East Coast, says Ron Mahmot, the mission operations division manager for GOES at NOAA.
