(iii) H II Orbiting Plane

Space Shuttle Orbiter

JEM will be launched separately by the Space Shuttle from May 2001 and will then be assembled in orbit.

(e) Deorbit at end of mission this includes both lowering the orbit to reduce lifetime (below 25 years) and immediate re entry.

Reorbiting of spacecraft from GEO to other orbit after their mission

The worst cause of deterioration of the orbital environment is on orbit break up of space objects caused by collision with a large object, accidental explosion and intentional destruction

The upper stages or components of launch vehicles left in GTO may be either soon removed from orbit or, if removal is not possible, manoeuvred to prevent interference with systems in GEO.

In the case of higher orbits and if the re entry risk is allowable, the most feasible measure to avoid collision risk with other operating space systems is to reduce the orbital lifetime by reducing the perigee height of the orbit.

(e) Deorbiting at end of LEO and GTO mission this includes both lowering the orbit to reduce the satellite lifetime (e.g. to less than 25 years) and immediate re entry.

The satellite weighs 214 kg in the final orbit, which ranges in altitude between 600 and 1 756 km.

The upper stages or components of launch vehicles left in GTO may be manoeuvred to prevent interference with systems in GEO.

There are three general classes of orbit that may be suitable for small satellites the geostationary orbit (GSO), the highly elliptical orbit (HEO) and the low Earth orbit (LEO).

For the odd operation to remove large objects from orbit it is possible to use interorbital tugs with liquid rocket motors or even orbital transport craft of the Buran or Space Shuttle type.

GEO satellites were also designed and operated to conduct reorbit manoeuvre at the end of the mission to preserve the GEO environment. F. Conclusion

Orbital

Currently, spacecraft in the geosynchronous orbit are not deorbited at the end of their operational lifetime, primarily because of the large amount of additional fuel needed for such a manoeuvre.

Preservation of the environment of the Geostationary Orbit (GEO) is particularly important because natural forces cannot clean up the debris in GEO

It's the gravitational pull that makes these things orbit.

An important element of the programme consists of suborbital experiments.

Relocation of space objects in Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) to prevent collision with space objects in GEO

This may be done with a controlled re entry manoeuvre or by transferring the vehicle to a lower altitude.

The Robot Arm was installed in the Shuttle Orbiter Cargo Bay and operated by crews in the Aft Flight Deck of the Shuttle Orbiter using hand controllers.
