Weather satellite to be delivered in orbit to Eumetsat. Current internationally-agreed rules on orbital equipment state that any satellite in LEO must fall back into the atmosphere “within 25 years of completing its mission”. This additional information is expected to improve the design and operation of future Earth observation missions. Two satellites designed and constructed by students at the Cockrell School of Engineering successfully separated in space March 22, completing the most crucial goal of the mission since its Nov. If a satellite of a celestial body is found, the mass of that body can also be calculated once its orbit is determined. The Indian SARAL satellite was placed into orbit Monday 25 February from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in southern India. The malfunctions resulted in a lower orbit injection for the Cosmos 2470, also known as Geo-IK-2, a Russian geodesy satellite. The TESS mission was awarded under NASA's Explorer series of lower cost and highly productive space science satellites. The first target is the Swisscube, Switzerland's first working satellite, which was put into orbit in 2009, and completed its imaging mission in 2011. The Swiss scientists hope to launch CleanSpace One on its trial mission in under five years. Most satellites orbit Earth higher than 400 km. Later this month, Europe's newest meteorology satellite, MetOp-B, will blast into space from Baikonur Cosmodrome. After a 15-hour, 31-minute mission, the Breeze M upper stage of the Proton rocket successfully released the SES-6 satellite directly into geostationary transfer orbit.
