"Dauria" in space
How does the space flight?
Each will present some your way: anyone remember the smile Gagarin, someone beautiful wings of the space shuttle, someone - solar "sail" the International Space Station ... Even crawling over 100 million km rovers, are officially in flight. For the same unmanned space exploration, space often looks like this:
Dry abracadabra telemetry, which is understandable only to professionals - is the most important thing is expected immediately after starting the machine. This is the answer of satellite equipment, to the question: "How to myself?" The machine meets a set of numbers and letters that allow you to accurately determine the state of the entire system and the installed equipment: performance, power consumption, temperature ...
That "Dauria Aerospace" saw its first set of letters and numbers.
I have a little explained that FM1 - call it our system, confirm that it is ours, and not some more of the 33 satellites launched last night conversion "Dnepr". Specialists read here a lot more. But I see here not only information about the ability to live 11-pound block of aluminum, copper and silicon. This, above all, confirmation that two and a half years of efforts, millions of dollars and thousands of man-hours of highly skilled experts on both sides of the ocean were not in vain. Spacecraft really in space, and sends us out its telemetry hello.
It was really difficult, but interesting. Though I did not twisted any nuts, and not written a line of code, but today reached Habra after 34-hour marathon press conferences, press releases, speeches, invitations, meeting guests, live broadcasts from the Baikonur, applause, suspense in MCC, white noise interference, the cold morning wind roof and finally unreasonable joy of incomprehensible «FM1» monitor MCC.
Yes, we flew
Night launches "Dnepr" rare, so the video is very unattractive, but has kindly sent us the staff & quot; Kosmotras & quot ;, immediately after launch. This was the start of a record. For the first time in the history of one missile brings a flock of international private commercial satellites, including three dozen of which were Russian.
Russia became the first private & quot; Таблет Sat Aurora & quot; from "Sputniks." Our two Perseus-M, though, and in fact belong to the Russian "Dauria", but were created in California's Silicon Valley subdivision.
But this does not mean that the launch of the Russian experts reacted with indifference. And when management "Dauria" accepts congratulations on the other end of Moscow, Skolkovo office, was on duty in the MCC group of engineers who are ready to take the first signals from space.
The first session was held on June 20 at 00:40, a half hour after launch. But the satellite was not raised high above the horizon, so a clear signal and confirmation could be obtained. I had to wait for the next session: at 02:20. At this time managed to detect short pulses at a frequency of 20 seconds, but as long as they did not carry the telemetry information.
Only later in the morning barely noticeable hiss turned into coded information, the transformation in telemetry. This meant the end of a long process started. Now we can say with confidence: the first satellite of the Russian private space company "Dauria Aerospace" successfully placed into orbit and ready to go!
Now, it remains the case for small: to teach them to make money.
What kind of job can perform these kids, size 10h20h30 see?
This is the traditional question, which is set immediately after the first: "You are what really make the spacecraft?»
Mikroplatforma Perseus - it's almost a full spacecraft equipped with stabilization and orientation. Only that the rocket engine is not enough, and the indispensable elements of a "real" satellite are: engine flywheels, magnetic executive bodies, the system of autonomous power supply, star sensors, high-speed data ... That is, the satellites of this type and size are able to perform different tasks, representing, including commercial interest.
Perseus-M - maritime - will determine the location of ships in the seas and rivers, with the help of signals Automatic Identification System (АИС). It's not as interesting, such as photography, but this information is in demand in the domestic and international market. In addition, operating experience Perseus-M platform will allow to work for more complex tasks and, in 2015, just go to the observation of the surface Earth.
The next generation of devices, Perseus-O - observation - should do multispectral shooting with a resolution of 22 meters. While this is plans the coming years, it is interesting to me to talk about matters of accomplished and results in space. So glad that the telling of the "Dauria" you can change the future for the present. Just making plans and promises into action and achievement can earn trust. In this way we are going to do. But now it's time to sleep.
