...-1 can carry a payload of up to 225 kilogrammes to a 500 kilometre sun synchronous polar orbit (SSPO), or 315 kilogrammes to 45 degree inclination 500 kilometre low Earth orbit (LEO). The largest rocket, Vikram-3 can transport 580 kilograms to SSPO...
... you can't launch east. Conversely, if you're in Florida typically you're not going to be able to get to a polar orbit.” While launching a dozen rockets per year each carrying a 800 kg satellite would be an ideal scenario, Clark said ...
... 1.3 µm, 1.6 µm and 2.2 µm. Once the Land Surface Temperature Monitoring satellite has been launched into a low-Earth polar orbit, it will start to map rates of evapotranspiration with unprecedented fidelity. Every three days it will image the entire...
... and an up-rated fourth stage, Vega-C increases performance from 1.5 tonnes to about 2.3 tonnes in a reference 700 km polar orbit. "Today we opened a new era of European launch solutions, starting with Vega-C and soon to be complemented by Ariane...
... the site at the A’ Mhoine peninsula in Sutherland, as being the first vertical launch orbital access Spaceport in Britain for northward direction polar orbit and high inclination Sun-synchronous satellite payloads. The government is giving the...
