| The following is from the July 89 issue of Spaceflight News (a British
monthly) with some minor alterations by me. Numbers in parentheses are
flight numbers. The flight number for COBE is a guess on my part.

COBE is to be launched on a Delta configuration that is a hybrid of the
older Delta 3920 and the Delta 6920 (the first of the Delta II family).
I think the model number is 5920. Another one flight configuration of
Delta.
Mar Observer will fly on a Titan III/TOS (Transfer Orbit Stage).

Here are all the orbital launches for the
first half of the year... I'm afraid the
file is rather wide.

> * 3 May 86 Delta 178 (3914) GOES-G/SARSAT
I don't think GOES G carried a SARSAT.
> 16 Sep 87 Scout 204C (G-1) OSCAR 27 and 28 (SOOS-2)
This should be O-27 and O-29 (not O-28)
> 26 Apr 88 Scout 213C (G-1) OSCAR ?? and ?? (SOOS-3)
This is O-23 and O-32 on S-211C (not S-213C).
> 16 Jun 88 Scout ???? (G-1) NOVA-2(3)
This is Nova-2 on S-213C.
> 25 Aug 88 Scout ???? (G-1) OSCAR 25 and 31 (SOOS-4)
This is S-214C.
> 9 May 90 Scout ???? (G-1) MACSAT 1 and 2
This is S-212C.
> 14 May 91 Atlas ??E NOAA-12(D)
This is Atlas 50E.
> OSCAR Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio
Yes, but not in the context you use it here. For the Navy Scout
satellites Oscar is the letter O in the (aviation) phonetic alphabet,
standing for "Operational" (Operational Navy Navigation Satellite).

> USA Date Launch Vehicle Payload
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> 15-17 9 Feb 86 Atlas 6004H NOSS-8
This should be USA 15-18 (payload and 3 subsats).
The Delta 180 launch was USA 19 only.
> 21 12 Feb 87 Titan 34B SDS or Jumpseat
Serial number is Titan 3B-66. 34B series serial unknown.
Is probably SDS 7.
> 27 26 Oct 87 Titan 34D KH-11-F8
> 28 28 Nov 87 Titan 34D/IUS DSP-F5R (Block 2)
Serials are 34D-15 and 34D-8 respectively.
> 31* 2 Sep 88 Titan 34D/Transtage Chalet(Vortex) (ELINT)
Titan 34D-3.
> 32 5 Sep 88 Titan 2 NOSS-10
Titan 23G-1 is *NOT* NOSS-10 as reported in the press. Initial orbit
was above 80 deg inclination, I believe it is probably an advanced
Jumpseat mission.
> 33 6 Nov 88 Titan 34D SDS or Jumpseat
Titan 34D-14 is *NOT* SDS or Jumpseat as reported in the press. It is
almost certainly KH-11-F9 and has been observed by the Molczan network.
>37 10 May 89 Titan 34D/Transtage Chalet(Vortex)
Titan 34D-16.
> 43-44 4 Sep 89 Titan 34D/IUS DSCS III-F4 and F5
Titan 34D-2; payloads are DSCS III F-4 and (probably) the leftover
DSCS II F-16 (not III F5).
>56-58 11 Apr 90 Atlas ??E/Altair POGS/SSR, TEX, SCE
Atlas 28E.
>59-62 8 Jun 90 Titan 4 KH-12
Not clear whether USA 59 is a KH12. USA60-62 are Advanced NOSS 1.
>68 1 Dec 90 Atlas ??E DMSP-F10 (Block 5D-2)
Atlas 61E.
Here your USA numbers get a bit screwed up. REX did not get a USA
number (like the MACSATs, but unlike the STACKSATs; very odd. Someone
at USAF not being consistent). Neither did LOSAT-X (like most but not
all SDI payloads) or the Microsats. Here is the corrected list of
recent launches.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
USA Date Launch Vehicle Payload
- 29 Jun 91 Scout 216C (G-1) REX (Radiation Experiment)
71 4 Jul 91 Delta 206 (7925) NAVSTAR 2-11 (GPS-22), LOSAT-X (SDI)
- 17 Jul 91 Pegasus MICROSAT-1 to 7 (small comms sats)
72 8 Nov 91 Titan 4 ? (KH-12??)
74 8 Nov 91 )
76 8 Nov 91 ) Advanced NOSS 2 cluster
77 8 Nov 91 )
75 24 Nov 91 Atlantis (STS-44) DSP-F16 (Block 14)
73 28 Nov 91 Atlas 53E DMSP-F11 (Block 5D-2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also your recent GPS numbers are mixed up. Corrections are:
64 1 Oct 90 Delta 199 (6925) NAVSTAR 2-09 (GPS-15)
66 26 Nov 90 Delta 201 (7925) NAVSTAR 2-10 (GPS-23)
71 4 Jul 91 Delta 206 (7925) NAVSTAR 2-11 (GPS-22)
> UNITED STATES SUBORBITAL LAUNCH RECORD (1989 to 1991)
Note that this is only the suborbital *commercial* launch list. NASA
and USAF launched many vehicles from 1989 to 1991. I don't have the
1991 list in my records yet, but for 1989-90 I show 23 Terrier family
vehicles (Terrier Malemute, Black Brant 9, Black Brant 10); 5 Talos
boosted missions (Black Brant 11, 12); 3 Aries missions, 1 ERIS, 4
Taurus (Taurus Orion, Taurus Nike Tomahawk), 3 Nike Orion, 5 Nike
Black Brant 5, plus of course various Minuteman, Peacekeeper, and
Trident test launches. I don't have time to list them but a new book
by Joel Powell of Canada is going to have a lot of this data in.

| 546.7 | ELV Launch Manifest for CY1993 | VERGA::KLAES | I, Robot | Fri Dec 11 1992 08:57 | 60 |
| Article: 52995
From: [email protected]
Newsgroups: sci.space
Subject: ELV Manifest CY93
Date: 8 Dec 92 22:17:22 EST
Organization: NASA, Kennedy Space Center
Hello, Someone had asked me a while back for an expendable launch
manifest. A little late but here is what I managed to dig up.
ELV Launch Manifest for CY93 (from manifest dated 11/16/92)
Date Vehicle Pri/Sec Payload Launch Site
01/93 Pegasus ALEXIS B-52/DFRF
01/93 Ariane 4 (42P) GALAXY 4 French Guiana
03/93 Atlas I UHF-1 CCAFS
03/93 Conestoga COMET 1 WFF
03/93 Ariane 4 (44L) HISPASAT 1B/INSAT 2B French Guiana
03/93 Delta II GPS?? / SEDS-1 CCAFS
05/93 Scout RADCAL VAFB
05/93 Pegasus APEX B-52/DFRF
05/93 Pegasus LEAP-7 B-52/DFRF
05/93 Ariane 4 (44L) ASTRA 1C/ARSENE French Guiana
05/93 Delta II GPS?? / PMQ CCAFS
2Q/93 Atlas I UHF-2 CCAFS
06/93 Atlas E NOAA-I VAFB
07/93 Scout MSTI-II VAFB
08/93 Pegasus ORBCOMM FDM L-1011
09/93 Pegasus SEASTAR L-1011
09/93 Ariane 4 (40) EPOT-3/ASAP-4 French Guiana
10/93 Pegasus SLV-1 L-1011
10/93 Atlas IIAS TELSTAR 4/F1 CCAFS
10/93 Ariane 4 (44LP) INTELSAT VII F1 French Guiana
11/93 Ariane 4 (44LP) SOLIDARIDAD 1/MOP-3 French Guiana
12/93 Delta II WIND CCAFS
12/93 Atlas GOES-I CCAFS
12/93 Pegasus STEP-2 L-1011
12/93 Delta II NATO IV CCAFS
12/93 Ariane 4 (44L) DIREC-TV 1/THAICOM 1 French Guiana
This list is only what NASA is carrying on its unclassified schedule.
The GPS launches are only a guess on my part as the manifest only list
the secondary payloads for those launches. Even though the local paper
posts the launch date and time for GPS missions the Air Force and
McDonnell Douglas consider it to be sensitive (I guess they don't read
the paper :) )
This is also a first cut at this list. When I get updates I will post
them. Please Don't ask me what the payloads are (they could be typos I
got them from a Faxed copy of the manifest) also I'm just an Main
Engine guy and don't deal directly with the Payloads.
A final note since I come from the shuttle world naturally I don't
believe schedules (any schedule is out of date the moment it is
printed). For what it is worth.

The dates listed are those for GMT. All information was obtained from
public sources. If anyone can fill in the question marks or provide
corrections which is public knowledge please let me know. The date and
launch vehicle information is reliable. However, the payload information
is less reliable as the US Air Force usually won't say what the payload is.
Many thanks go to Jonathon McDowell <[email protected]> for his
corrections to this list.

Steven S. Pietrobon recently posted launch records for Ariane, Shuttle,
U.S. military, and U.S. commercial space launches.
This information was very interesting, but I have been looking for
launch records for the individual boosters, Delta, Titan, and Atlas.
For those of you who are also looking for this information, I have
taken Mr. Pietrobon's data and broken it down by booster. Therefore,
to save anyone else alot of cutting and pasting, here is that
information.

Steven S. Pietrobon recently posted launch records for Ariane, Shuttle,
U.S. military, and U.S. commercial space launches.
This information was very interesting, but I have been looking for
launch records for the individual boosters, Delta, Titan, and Atlas.
For those of you who are also looking for this information, I have
taken Mr. Pietrobon's data and broken it down by booster. Therefore,
to save anyone else alot of cutting and pasting, here is that
information.

Titan 3B is a Titan III minus the solid boosters.
Titan 3 is the Commercial Titan III,
Titan 34D is the final variant of the military Titan III series.
Titan 23G series are the refurbished Titan II ICBMs.
Titan 4xx series are the Titan IV family.
I was unaware of a Titan 34D failure in September 1988. Does anyone
have any information on the cause of this failure?
If anyone has a complete Titan launch record from first orbital flight
through 1985, I'm sure I am not the only one who would like to see it

Below is a list of data for all launchers used for launching manned
spacecraft and/or planetary probes! There may be some inaccuracies so
feel free to post your additions/updates.
---
In case you are not familiar with the rocket equation, it is fairly
easy to calculate a rocket's maximum final velocity (in meters per second)
if its dry weight, gross weight and specific impulse (=exhaust velocity in
meters/second * 9.801) as well as the weight of its payload are known. The
formula is:
1
vi=(Isp*9.801) * LN --------------------------------------------------------
payload dry wt.
------------------- * (1 - (dry wt./gross wt.)) + ---------
(payload+gross wt.) gross wt.
The required velocity (or delta-V) to reach low Earth orbit is in the region
of 9 to 9.5km/s depending on various factors. To reach the Moon, a spacecraft
needs an additional delta-V of 3.2km/s. Venus and Mars require about
3.5-3.7km/s. A 36,000km/s geostationary orbit (GSO) requires a dV of 3.9km/s,
an elliptical 200x36,000km geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) requires about
2.4km/s.
---
The thrust is listed in kilonewtons (kN). The relationship between thrust
and Isp is: thrust(N)=mass flow/sec.(kg) * (Isp*9.801)
All figures for Isp and thrust are the theoretical values in a vacuum. For
1st & second stages, I have sometimes listed the sea level thrust/Isp as well.
Stage 0 indicates that the rocket(s) in question acts as a booster and fires
at the same time as the first stage.
---
Thanks to Ken O'Connell, Tom Frieling, Peter Venetoklis, Henry Spencer and
countless others for providing the data I was unable to find.

| If you really want the numbers for current LVs, you should get a
copy of the AIAA's book on Space Transportation Systems.
Some of the numbers in the previous note don't specify the model or
flight number for the LV (e.g. for the Atlas Centaur) which becomes
important if you are really looking for detail.
