It'll be moving pretty damn fast, but they must be able to compensate for Hubble's own orbital rotatioi and Earth's movement through space (which has got to be a lot faster than galileo will be moving). Anybody know if this has been proposed. Also, can't they just aim the antennna and send a message. It should be pretty clear whether the antenna's up or not at that point. =steve= ------------------------------ ReSent-Message-ID: Resent-Date: Mon, 29 Apr 91 08:50:40 EDT Resent-From: Harold Pritchett Resent-To: Space discussion group Date: 29 April 1991, 09:35:16 SET From: Mike M.SKALA ++39-6-941801-293 MSKALA at ESRIN@UGA.CC.UGA.EDU ESA Press Release no.12; Paris, 91/04/26 Launch of ERS-1 Satellite on hold Arianespace announced on 91/04/26 that the Launch of Ariane V44 carrying ERS-1 (European Remote Sensing Satellite) (scheduled for 91/05/03) would be postponed for a few days to allow additional time for complementary work on the margins related to the third stage engine operation. The ERS-1 mission is in no way compromised by this delay. Following the arrival in French-Guyana on 91/03/08, the spacecraft has already been integrated, undergone extensive testing, and been filled with hydrazine. ESA decided to mate the satellite with the launcher and proceed to T-4 days, where it is possible to hold the camapign. A new launch is still to be announced. As with the launch of every satellite, putting ERS-1 into orbit involves risk. ESA endorses Arianespace's policy of minimising this risk, and making safety and reliability its top priorities. compiled by Mike M.

Whatever gave you the idea that the Saturn V put garbage into orbit? On the lunar missions it left nothing in orbit; on the Earth-orbit missions its orbital leftovers were the same as any launcher, to wit a spent upper stage. Any plan to greatly increase launch volume has to think about the debris implications. However, at the moment it's all down in the noise, since US launch volume would have to grow a whole lot before it even approached the Soviet launch volume. -- And the bean-counter replied, | Henry Spencer @ U of Toronto Zoology "beans are more important". | henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry ------------------------------ Date: 29 Apr 91 00:14:10 GMT From: udecc.engr.udayton.edu!blackbird.afit.af.mil!tkelso@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu (TS Kelso) Subject: NASA Prediction Bulletins, Part 2 The most current orbital elements from the NASA Prediction Bulletins are carried on the Celestial BBS, (513) 427-0674, and are updated several times weekly.
