7. Right from the outset, a two track approach was adopted for the reform of the First Committee, one track targeting the substantive aspects of the issue and the other the procedural aspects.

The mission INTERBALL consists of two pairs of satellites, one in a fairly low orbit (Auroral Probe, apogee 20,000 km) and the other with an apogee of 200,000 km (Tail Probe). These two very different orbits were chosen in order to cover the auroral and the tail region of the Earth apos s magnetosphere, respectively.

It consists of two pairs of satellites, one known as quot eccentric quot , inserted in a high apogee orbit (200,000 km) and the other known as quot auroral quot , inserted in a lower apogee orbit (20,000 km).

General Relativity Orbit Tracer

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).

(c) Disposition of the objects on geostationary transfer orbit so as not to pose a risk to the geostationary orbit

For the majority of spacecraft in low Earth orbit, they provide the primary shielding protection against space debris and meteoroid particle impact.

Basic orbital parameters Geostationary orbit

These are time in orbit, projected area, orbital altitude and orbital inclination.

These are time in orbit, projected area, orbital altitude and orbital inclination.

The influence of low Earth orbit satellite communication systems on the growth of debris in orbit has been investigated in a series of studies.R. Walker, R. Crowther, G. G. Swinerd, The Long Term Implications of Operating Satellite Constellations in the Low Earth Orbit Debris Environment, Advances in Space Research, vol. 19, No. 2, p. 355 358, 1997.

The number of orbital debris of less than 1 m in diameter near GEO is not well known.

For some satellites on long lifetime LEO orbits, a transfer to shorter lifetime orbits is planned at the end of their activelife.

Contingency plans call for immediate orbit raising and decommissioning of any satellite that is likely to be stranded in the geosynchronous orbital arc.

Orbit analysis function to provide some tools that are useful for analysis of the orbital data to space debris researchers.

Although the graveyard orbit itself seems to be relatively stable, one has to take into account not only orbit perturbations.

Measures are currently being undertaken in connection with the controlled removal of spent objects from geostationary orbit with a view to averting the risk of their collision with operating or newly orbited objects and eliminating potential perturbations.

9. On orbit collision avoidance (for LEO)

Claims of sovereignty over the geostationary orbit were misplaced the repeated use of an orbital position in the geostationary orbit did not mean that a State had appropriated that position or was claiming sovereignty over it.

GEO satellite deorbit after EOL and

For geographical reasons Ecuador had demonstrated great interest in the geostationary orbit, which was a limited natural resource with special characteristics, and for which there should be a sui generis legal regime regulating access to and utilization of the orbit and guaranteeing equitable access to it, with account being taken of the relative disadvantages of the developing countries.

Additional orbital debris measurements in GEO are needed before more accurate risk assessments can be performed.

(k) The design of orbital stages should support the capability of being safely de orbited or moved to a disposal orbit, as appropriate

The following ESA geostationary satellites have been re orbited OTS 2 (orbiting 318 km above GSO), GEOS 2 (260 km), Meteosat 2 (334 km), ECS 2 (335 km) and Olympus 1 (due to a failure, this satellite has been left at orbit 213 km below GSO).

And she was going along the tracks, and the tracks split.

It has a fairly substantial number of asteroids between the orbit of the Earth out through to the orbit of Jupiter.
