The satellite is the first mission designed to use an ultraviolet telescope to obtain high-resolution images and spectra every few seconds and provide observations of areas as small as 150 miles across the sun. "MSU's SSEL has the unique distinction of being the only university to fly a CubeSat on both of NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellite (ELaNa) missions," Klumpar said. Crews from the two nations met for the first time in orbit as part of the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project in 1975, paving the way for further international missions and the eventual creation of an International Space Station (6). BRITE stands for "BRIght Target Explorer," because the targets in the sky for this mission are the most luminous stars in our galaxy. The twin of an MSU student-built satellite that was launched in the spring but failed to reach orbit because an anomaly with the rocket is scheduled to be launched Oct. "A major goal of these satellite missions is to better define the water cycle," said Bulusu. Posted by Keith A Delta IV Heavy demonstration flight occurred in December 2004, and the first Air Force operational mission was launched in November 2007. With little to no propellant left, gravity will slowly bring the satellite back to Earth. €Previous observations suggest After launch, IRIS will travel in a polar, sun-synchronous orbit around Earth, crossing nearly directly over the poles in such a way that it moves over the equator at the same local time each day. ULA Delta IV Heavy Puts NRO Satellite Into Orbit. The Kepler telescope, a satellite telescope in orbit around the Sun* designed to look for exoplanets, has come to the end of its original mission. "The spatial and temporal coverage will be much better, which will definitely help global ocean and climate models. 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”.
