Jonathan's Space Report No. 417 2000 Jan 4 Cambridge, MA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HAPPY J2000.0! The astronomical fundamental reference epoch, J2000.0 TT, occurred just before noon GMT on Jan 1 (1158:55.8 UTC 2000 Jan 1). All modern astronomical timescales and coordinate systems use J2000.0 as their reference point. I have added a list of all the world's launch pads and their locations at http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~jcm/space/data/Sites Corrections and comments are solicited. The file has been updated since the initial version I put up in late December, so if you got an earlier copy you should download it again. Some errata: I am glad to report the Rokot launch vehicle at Plesetsk was not damaged in the December accident, and neither was the payload. Only the fairing was ejected and written off. Krunichev will therefore most likely be able to launch the vehicle by February. (Source: A. Zak on space.com) Also, Galaxy 11 still uses a Marquardt R-4D bipropellant engine for its major apogee burns, the XIPS ion engine will be used for final adjustments. The R-4D has been used for most geostationary satellites with liquid engines, although the German S400 and the British Leros are also fairly widely used. A new high power R-4D-15 model was recently introduced. Thirdly, the old computer removed from HST was not a 286 processor, merely a processor that was comparable in power to a 286. Thanks to Phil Chien for correcting me on that one. Finally, launch times of the last to Kosmos flights were 0800 UTC (Kosmos-2367) and 1912 UTC (Kosmos-2368). (Thanks to Neville Kidger for passing on the TASS info). Launch of STS-99 is now scheduled for no earlier than Jan 31, more probably sometime in February. Below is the list of attempted orbital launches for 1999. It is in four sections: status of orbital payloads, manufacturers of orbital payloads, list of acronyms, and statistics of launch vehicles. ORBITAL PAYLOADS 1999 PART 1 - List and current status Orbits are given for late Dec 1999: perigee (km) x apogee (km) x inclination (deg) INT'L NAME AGENCY TYPE LAUNCH ORBIT OR STATUS DESIGN.
