What was the final inclination and altitude achieved for SPOT 6 ?
I see 659km in one screenshot...compared to 655 which was expected...quite good ?
I noticed that even after the launch, the ISRO Chairman took some time to confirm...so I was nervous whether anything went wrong....

Nice article Will.
Good job to the teams, and thanks for the coverage guys. Way too early for me to watch live. -

USSTRATCOM has now switched objects
old A is now C
old B is now A
old C is now B
so that, now
38755 SPOT 6 2012-047A
38756 PROITERES 2012-047B
38757 PSLV R/B 2012-047C -

They built them, but I wouldn't describe that as an "ISRO mission". Dawn used an OSC bus, but it is quite rightly regarded as a NASA mission, not an Orbital Sciences mission. -

Well their definition of "missions" (counting launch flows and satellite construction/development/operation separately) is bogus anyway.....

Orbital would include Dawn in its list of 'Orbital missions'... the thing
is that ISRO is a spacecraft manufacturer/contractor as well as a spacecraft operator,
launch vehicle manufacturer, launch services provider, etc... and so it counts involvement in any of those roles
