The Grissom-1 mission (GM1), slated to launch in 2023, is the first in a series of 6-Unit CubeSat satellites built and operated by the Air Force Institute of Technology’s (AFIT’s) Center for Space Research and Assurance (CSRA). The GM1 is unique in that it represents the pathfinder for a standardized 6U bus that may be replicated for future missions to host a variety of technical and scientific payloads, as prioritized by the Department of Defense (DoD), requiring flight demonstration or access to the orbital environment.

LOGAN, Utah — A NASA cubesat was removed from a recent rideshare launch opportunity on a U.S. Space Force mission because the spacecraft could not meet guidelines for deorbiting at the end of its life.The GTOSat mission, developed by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, was manifested to fly as a secondary payload on the Atlas 5 launch of the SBIRS GEO-6 missile-warning satellite. The SBIRS satellite was successfully launched Aug. 4....The mission is now working with NASA’s Conjunction Assessment Risk Analysis program, becoming what Lucas called a “pathfinder” for dealing with debris analysis issues. The spacecraft itself is being returned to Goddard, where it will be put into long-term storage “while we look for a new ride” with the support of NASA’s Cubesat Launch Initiative.
The Vigoride 5 mission will be launched into a sun-synchronous orbit with an initial altitude of about 500 kilometers. It will deploy a single satellite from a Singapore-based company, Qosmosys. That company has released few details about the satellite, which it calls Zeus-1, other than it will carry an unspecified “scientific payload” as well as “artworks.”Vigoride will then remain in orbit for several months, operating a hosted payload provided by Caltech’s Space Solar Power Project.

Quote from: ABL tweetsLaunch now scheduled for Thursday [Nov 17]Yesterday’s scrub was due to a leaking valve in the pressurization system. The valve has been removed and replaced.Due to high winds today and tomorrow, we are targeting our next launch attempt on Thursday 11/17 with a window opening at 1pm AKST (10pm UTC). [Nov 15]

1898-EX-ST-2022QuoteCert-1 Launch (Astrobotic Peregrine with Kuiper Rideshare)This STA is being sought for the Vulcan Centaur Certification-1 launch at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station Launch Complex 41. This launch is part of certifying that the new Vulcan rocket can execute a successful mission while also delivering the Astrobotic Peregrine lunar lander as well as a pair of Kuiper test satellites. During this launch, the vehicle will be using our standard S-Band telemetry transmitter and our standard S-Band GPS transmitter. There will also be two additional S-Band links on the Booster. The launch is currently planned for February 25, 2023. Start of launch vehicle testing, which includes open loop RF transmissions, is scheduled to begin 1/31/2023. The nominal mission profile has the Centaur ending in a hyperbolic disposal orbit, after placing the Peregrine lander in a Translunar Injection Orbit.QuoteThe Peregrine mission will be launched from the Eastern Range and utilize a trajectory design consisting of a two Centaur burn ascent to spacecraft separation. One Earth-relative trajectory will be used through the first Centaur engine burn (MES1) for all launch opportunities. At MECO1, the Centaur is in a circular 500 km park orbit at an inclination of 30 degrees. This orbit is sustained through Kuiper separation. After MECO1, polynomial RAAN steering is activated, and the Centaur flies a varying mission profile for each launch opportunity to reach TLI. These consist of different coast lengths along the MECO1 orbit. At MECO2, the orbit parameters differ between the three different coast length profiles. The short coast will have a perigee/apogee altitude of 494.20/370,872.31 km and an inclination of 30.08 degrees, the medium coast will have a perigee/apogee altitude of 487.93/395,521.85 km and an inclination of 30.09 degrees, and the long coast will have a perigee/apogee altitude of 493.43/364,004.18 km and an inclination of 30.07 degrees. The variation in orbital parameters continues to Peregrine separation. At Peregrine separation, the short coast will have a perigee/apogee altitude of 494.41/382,527.97 km and an inclination of 30.08 degrees, the medium coast will have a perigee/apogee altitude of 487.61/402,774.56 km and an inclination of 30.09 degrees, and the long coast will have a perigee/apogee altitude of 493.98/363,946.57 km and an inclination of 30.07 degrees. Spacecraft separation is followed by a third main engine burn (MEB3) to place Centaur in a hyperbolic disposal orbit, a demonstration of the reaction control system (RCS), and blowdown of the remaining propellants and hydrazine depletion. Following the completion of these events, End-of-Mission (EOM) occurs.
