Chandrayaan-1 Spacecraft's Orbit Raised Further

Bangalore, Oct 25 (ISRO) The second orbit-raising manoeuvre of Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft was carried out at 05:48 hrs IST this morning (October 25, 2008) when the spacecraft’s 440 Newton Liquid Engine was fired for about 16 minutes by commanding the spacecraft from Spacecraft Control Centre (SCC) at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) at Peenya, Bangalore.? With this engine firing, Chandrayaan-1’s apogee has been further raised to 74,715 km, while its perigee has been raised to 336 km. In this orbit, Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft takes about twenty-five and a half hours to go round the Earth once. This is the first time an Indian spacecraft has gone beyond the 36,000 km high geostationary orbit and reached an altitude more than twice that height.

Russian spacecraft carrying U.S. space tourist lands successfully

KOROLYOV, Moscow region. Oct 24 (Interfax-AVN) - The landing capsule of the Soyuz TMA-12 spacecraft carrying Russian cosmonauts Sergei Volkov and Oleg Kononenko and U.S. space tourist Richard Garriott has successfully touched down in a Kazakhstan steppe. "The descent and landing passed according to plan," Valery Lyndin, the head of the Russian mission control center press service, told Interfax. Former cosmonaut Alexander Volkov and former NASA astronaut Owen Garriott earlier joined the rescue teams to meet their sons after landing. Russian Federal Space Agency (Roscosmos) spokesman Alexander Vorobyov told Interfax the Soyuz TMA-12 crew should be delivered to the Chkalovsky airfield outside Moscow on Friday afternoon. After that, Volkov, Kononenko, and Garriott will spend two weeks in a rehabilitation center at Zvyozdny Gorodok (Star City

Simulator for Testing Spacecraft Separation Devices

A report describes the main features of a system for testing pyrotechnic and mechanical devices used to separate spacecraft and modules of spacecraft during flight. The system includes a spacecraft simulator [also denoted a large mobility base (LMB)] equipped with air thrusters, sensors, and data-acquisition equipment. The spacecraft simulator floats on air bearings over an epoxy-covered concrete floor. This free-flotation arrangement enables simulation of motion in outer space in three degrees of freedom: translation along two orthogonal horizontal axes and rotation about a vertical axis. The system also includes a static stand. In one application, the system was used to test a boltretraction system (BRS) intended for separation of the lifting-body and deorbitpropulsion stages of the X-38 spacecraft.

Energizer-Bunny Odyssey Spacecraft Will Keep Going

Seems like everyone at Mars is getting an extended mission these days – every spacecraft, that is. The Mars Odyssey orbiting spacecraft, the longest-serving of six spacecraft now studying Mars, has gotten another two-year extension of its mission. And mission extensions are great opportunities to try something new, so Odyssey is altering its orbit to get a different and better look at Mars with its Thermal Emission Imaging System which maps minerals on Mars in infrared. During this third mission extension, which goes through September 2010, Odyssey will also be able to point its camera with more flexibility than ever before. Odyssey is another Energizer Bunny-like spacecraft: it has been going and going since it reached Mars in 2001.
