Ben - 15/7/2007 10:43 PMThe Atlas 5 ICO launch is not before January and WGS is August 24 ET/August 25 GMT. And there is no Pegasus this year that I've heard.
It is STSS Block 2010 Risk Reduction Mars Telecom was cancelled almost 2 years ago

GW_Simulations - 17/7/2007 12:24 PMAs for the Pegasus, I think the carrier rocket was listed incorrectly on one of my sources, as I have now found a source (http://msdb.honeywell-tsi.com/missioninfo.asp?Mission=TWINS-B) that suggests that it is going into a molniya orbit - which the Pegasus cannot reach. This website also suggests that it will launch in October, but provides no information about the carrier rocket or LSP.
Skyrocket - 17/7/2007 11:39 AMThe TWINS payloads ar piggy-back mounted instruments on SDS/Jumpseat type satellites in Molniya-Orbits, not free flyers. For some reason the TWINS were listed in msdb.honeywell-tsi.com as Pegasus launched payloads, but they were never intended as free-flyers. It is a little bit hard to find a manifested launch date, as the parent-satellites are classified. TWINS-A was on the NROL 22 payload launched on 28. June 2006 from Vandenberg on a Delta-IVM+.As TWINS-B is scheduled for October, i consider the NROL-24 mission on an Atlas-V(401) as a likely candidate.
GW_Simulations - 17/7/2007 12:44 PMI'm not sure about L-24 though. I don't have orbit details, but it is launching from Canaveral, and I think the US launches to Molniya orbits all go from Vandenberg. My suspicion would be L-28, but I have no evidence to support this (I believe it was scheduled for October at one point).

My suspicion would be L-28, but I have no evidence to support this (I believe it was scheduled for October at one point).Two Atlas-IIA /-IIAS have launched SDS-type spacecraft from the Cape to Molniya orbits (and several Titan-IV launched Jumpseat-type ELINTS also from the cape to Molniya orbits). So i think, this L-24 might also go to this orbit.

Skyrocket - 17/7/2007 12:15 PMNuStar is listed as "Indefinite" in MSDB. The Feb 2009 launch date was planned before cancellation. http://msdb.honeywell-tsi.com/missioninfo.asp?Mission=NuSTAR
