... 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...
