In the case of low level liquid propulsion for satellites, it has made plans to cooperate with Brazil.

A propellant uncertainty margin is used to hold back on board propellant reserves and guarantee that satellites are not stranded in orbit.

The outpost was linked by satellite transmission receivers.

Several can be flown in a constellation to replace or augment the functions of a larger multi instrumented satellite.

For future research into the outer planets of the solar system (Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and their satellites), the intention was to use radioisotope and reactor NPS to power the spacecraft's scientific and communications equipment and the spacecraft itself using an electrojet propulsion system.

SEP has continued to cooperate in the matter of the cryogenic engine with the Russian company CADB, as well as continuing its work on plasma propulsion for satellites.

Placement of anti satellite (ASAT) weapons is predicted to be among the initial moves that would put weapons in space.

Detailed satellite propellant budgets are maintained, including a record of all manoeuvres.

Following its successful entry into the intended orbit, all the equipment on board the satellite functioned normally. The satellite was then successfully recovered after 15 days of orbiting in space.

With the first ignition of the booster engines system the space vehicle was transferred in the standard manner into the basic circular satellite orbit.

Unknown satellite communications controller

The real driving force behind the push for space weaponization lies in the intention to ensure US space superiority through offensive ASAT capabilities and space based missile defence interceptors.

Two spacecraft the Optical Inter Orbit Communications Engineering Test Satellite and the geostationary satellite of the African Real Time Environmental Monitoring using Imaging Satellites (ARTEMIS) system would be involved in the experiment.

During 1995, SEP also supplied propulsion systems for the Earth observation satellite, ERS 2.

This system is designed to release, after separation of the satellite, the residual propellant from the tank and the residual gas from the high pressure container in the booster, in order to avert the danger of in orbit disintegration of the upper stage.

Name of flight object TAIYO

To promote the spread of high vision satellite broadcasting (high definition television), TAO owns one of the transponders aboard BS 3b, and leases it to NHK and commercial broadcasting companies.

Planetary scientist Carolyn Porco shows images from the Cassini voyage to Saturn, focusing on its largest moon, Titan, and on frozen Enceladus, which seems to shoot jets of ice.

Name of flight object SUPERBIRD A2

The follow on satellite in the INSAT series, INSAT 2E, carrying advanced meteorological payloads, in addition to communication payloads, is scheduled for launch in 1998 and 11 transponders on board this satellite are being leased to the International Telecommunication Satellite Organisation (INTELSAT).

(e) Support to the global Mercure system (satellite transponder).

This instrument (Argos 3) could also be used for Metop satellites.

Its design, featuring three axis stabilization, permits the satellite apos s sensors to observe the Earth continuously, compared to only 5 percent of the time for current spin stabilized satellites.

In the field of meteorology, Matra Marconi Space is constructing the instrumentation for the Meteosat satellites and will be the contractor for the Metop satellite intended for the European Meteorological Organization (Eumetsat), the development of which is being carried out by ESA.

The Meteorological Research Institute develops techniques for the more effective use of meteorological satellite data, and conducts studies on sensors for the next generation of meteorological satellites.

GLI is an advanced type of the OCTS carried on ADEOS.

Prior to the establishment of an operational domestic satellite communications network capable of nationwide delivery of ITV programmes, China carried out a distance education pilot project in 1985 using a satellite transponder provided free of charge by the International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (INTELSAT) within the framework of its Satellites for Health and Rural Education (SHARE) programme.

WRC 99 will continue studying technical and regulatory aspects of communication using geostationary and non geostationary satellites for various services, such as mobile satellites, Earth exploration satellites, space research satellites, meteorological satellites and broadcasting satellites.

Satellites are equipped, when possible, with measurement devices to assist in determining end of propellant conditions.

Each satellite has 10 C band transponders and two Ku band transponders

General function of space object The purpose of Engineering Test Satellite VI is to establish bus technology for large scale geostationary three axis stabilized satellites necessary for development of future operational satellites as well as to develop advanced satellite communications technologies such as fixed satellite communications, mobile satellite communications and intersatellite communications.

For this purpose, it develops and operates sounding rockets, satellite launchers, scientific satellites, planetary probes and scientific balloons.

ADEOS will continue the Earth observation tests of MOS l 1b and JERS 1.

. The ENVISAT 1 satellite was envisioned as an enhancement of the ERS programme.

The ENVISAT 1 satellite is envisioned as an enhancement of the European Remote Sensing Programme.

Because of conservative propellant budgeting INTELSAT normally exceeds the targeted decommissioning altitude.
