Highlights on some of the satellites launched via Dnepr:
Heaviest satellite launched by USA/Argentina into space at 12 kg
Designed for communications and maritime tracking (Automatic Identification System (AIS)), AprizeSat 3 is a commercial satellite operated by Aprize Satellite, Argentina (USA/Argentina).
Constructed by SpaceQuest (USA), it was launched into space on 29 July 2009 using Dnepr as the launch vehicle from Baikonur Cosmodrome. AprizeSat 3 orbits around the Earth as a sun-synchronous LEO satellite.
AprizeSat 3 has a launch mass of 12 kg (dry mass at 12 kg) and navigates with the COSPAR ID 2009-041F and NORAD ID 35686.
With an orbital eccentricity of 7.38E-03, the satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 559km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 662km. It takes 97 minutes to orbit the Earth at an inclination of 98 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.
Designed for technology development, Hodoyoshi-3 is a government satellite operated by University of Tokyo and NESTRA (Japan).
Constructed by University of Tokyo (Japan), it was launched into space on 19 June 2014 using Dnepr as the launch vehicle from Dombarovsky Air Base. Hodoyoshi-3 orbits around the Earth as a sun-synchronous LEO satellite.
Hodoyoshi-3 has a launch mass of 60 kg and orbits around the Earth with the COSPAR ID 2014-033F and NORAD ID 40015.
Taking 98 minutes to orbit the Earth, the satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 613km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 666km. The eccentricity of the orbit is 3.78E-03.
With generated usable power of 50 watts, Hodoyoshi-3 orbits at an inclination of 98 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.
Designed for earth observation (Radar Imaging), Cryosat-2 is a government satellite operated by European Space Agency (ESA) (ESA).
Constructed by EADS Astrium (France/UK/Germany/Spain), it was launched into space on 8 April 2010 using Dnepr as the launch vehicle from Baikonur Cosmodrome. Cryosat-2 orbits around the Earth as a polar LEO satellite.
Cryosat-2 has a launch mass of 720 kg and is expected to have a operational lifetime of 3 years. It navigates with the COSPAR ID 2010-013A and NORAD ID 36508.
With an orbital eccentricity of 7.76E-04, the satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 713km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 724km. It takes 99 minutes to orbit the Earth at an inclination of 92 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.
