MSU satellite orbits the Earth after early morning launch. With today's launch, Arianespace is continuing its partnership with the scientific community, especially for Earth observation missions, by validating innovative satellite concepts in orbit. This artist's illustration shows it in orbit. The imaging satellite, which will be known as Landsat 8 once it reaches orbit, continues the mission of Landsat 7, which has been transmitting images since 1999, and Landsat 5, launched in 1984 but on its last legs. The twin of an MSU student-built satellite that was launched in the spring but failed to reach orbit because an anomaly with the rocket is scheduled to be launched Oct. This additional information is expected to improve the design and operation of future Earth observation missions. The Swiss scientists hope to launch CleanSpace One on its trial mission in under five years. The first three stages of the Proton will use a standard ascent profile to place the orbital unit (Breeze M Upper Stage and the SES-6 satellite) into a sub-orbital trajectory. MSU's Explorer-1 [Prime] satellite was launched early Oct. The first target is the Swisscube, Switzerland's first working satellite, which was put into orbit in 2009, and completed its imaging mission in 2011. 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. Most satellites orbit Earth higher than 400 km. October 28, 2011 -- By Evelyn Boswell, MSU News Service. Compared to the first Vega flight, VV02 will change both the inclinations and orbital altitudes for the satellites. Revealing the immense diversity of climates on our planet's surface, the composite image is made up of 56 still images taken during the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LCDM) satellite's orbit on April 19, 2013. European Vega Orbits Multiple Satellites on Second Mission. The Proton M launch vehicle, utilizing a 5-burn Breeze M mission design, will lift off from Pad 39 at Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, with the SES-6 satellite on board. "MSU's SSEL has the unique distinction of being the only university to fly a CubeSat on both of NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellite (ELaNa) missions," Klumpar said. NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission or TRMM satellite flew directly above tropical storm Andrea on Thursday, June 6, 2013 at 0508 UTC (1:08 a.m.
