At the end up April, NASA launched three tiny satellites -- Alexander, Graham and Bell -- each built around a smartphone that was responsible not only for taking pictures from low-earth orbit, but also all the avionics for NASA collected this data at its Ames Research Center, but in keeping with the budget-minded approach to this mission, volunteer amateur radio operators around the world helped out with collecting more than 200 of the image data packets. 11 as the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM). Orbital will provide its LEOStar-2 spacecraft platform and conduct systems integration and test for the Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) mission at its Dulles, Virginia, satellite design and production facilities. The malfunctions resulted in a lower orbit injection for the Cosmos 2470, also known as Geo-IK-2, a Russian geodesy satellite. It also reduces the amount of space debris that is permanently in orbit. Retired satellites that continue to orbit the Earth will soon be reused after the Department of Defense (DoD) sends robotic devices to space to bring the retirees back to life. BRITE stands for "BRIght Target Explorer," because the targets in the sky for this mission are the most luminous stars in our galaxy. Russia's Russia has a long history of launching animals into space on both orbital and suborbital missions. The imaging satellite, which will be known as Landsat 8 once it reaches orbit, continues the mission of Landsat 7, which has been transmitting images since 1999, and Landsat 5, launched in 1984 but on its last legs. Worried about the environmental impact of space debris? €�[Phoenix is a] modest effort to increase the return-on-investment for DoD space missions,” Dave Barnhart, a DARPA program manager, said at a press conference. The TESS mission was awarded under NASA's Explorer series of lower cost and highly productive space science satellites. The Indian SARAL satellite was placed into orbit Monday 25 February from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in southern India.

For those unfamiliar with Orbital Sciences (ORB), the company is a leader in space missions and satellite services. Russia launched an returnable world's only satellite dedicated to biological research 'orbital Noah's Ark' to space.
