This artist's illustration shows it in orbit. NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission or TRMM satellite flew directly above tropical storm Andrea on Thursday, June 6, 2013 at 0508 UTC (1:08 a.m. 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 Explorer-1 [Prime] satellite was launched early Oct. Michel Capderou, “Satellites: Orbits and Missions” S-r | 2005 | ISBN: 2287213171 | 564 pages | File type: PDF | 26 mb. European Vega Orbits Multiple Satellites on Second Mission. "The ULA team is honored to place another next-generation GPS satellite on orbit for our U.S. Air Force customer," said Jim Sponnick , ULA vice president, Mission Operations. MSU satellite orbits the Earth after early morning launch. October 28, 2011 -- By Evelyn Boswell, MSU News Service. This useful resource deals with satellite orbits, showing how the wide range of available orbits can be used in communications, positioning, remote-sensing, meteorology, and astronomy. €�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. With little to no propellant left, gravity will slowly bring the satellite back to Earth. Compared to the first Vega flight, VV02 will change both the inclinations and orbital altitudes for the satellites.
