Highlights on some of the satellites launched via Soyuz-2.1b:
Heaviest satellite launched by Würzburg Center For Telematics into space at 4 kg
Netsat-1 is a commercial satellite operated by Würzburg Center for Telematics (Germany) for the purpose of technology demonstration.
Constructed by Würzburg Center for Telematics (Germany), it was launched into space using Soyuz-2.1b as the launch vehicle from Plesetsk Cosmodrome on 28 September 2020. Netsat-1 orbits around the Earth as a sun-synchronous LEO satellite.
Netsat-1 has a launch mass of 4 kg and orbits around the Earth with the COSPAR ID 2020-068W and NORAD ID 46506.
Taking 96 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 544km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 567km. The eccentricity of the orbit is 1.66E-03 and it orbits at an inclination of 98 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.
Third heaviest satellite launched by Technical University Berlin into space at 12 kg
Designed for space science, SALSAT is a civil satellite operated by Technical University Berlin (Germany).
Delivered via Soyuz-2.1b (launch vehicle) from Plesetsk Cosmodrome, it was launched into space on 28 September 2020 and orbits the Earth as a sun-synchronous LEO satellite. SALSAT was constructed by Technical University Berlin (Germany).
SALSAT has a launch mass of 12 kg and orbits around the Earth with the COSPAR ID 2020-068K and NORAD ID 46495.
Taking 96 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 546km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 568km. The eccentricity of the orbit is 1.59E-03 and it orbits at an inclination of 98 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.
Heaviest satellite launched by OneWeb Satellites into space at 148 kg
A commercial satellite, OneWeb-0013 is operated by OneWeb Satellites of United Kingdom for the purpose of communications.
Delivered via Soyuz-2.1b (launch vehicle) from Baikonur Cosmodrome, it was launched into space on 6 February 2020 and orbits the Earth as a polar LEO satellite. OneWeb-0013 was constructed by OneWeb Satellites/Airbus (UK).
OneWeb-0013 has a launch mass of 148 kg and is expected to have a operational lifetime of 5 years. It navigates with the COSPAR ID 2020-008A and NORAD ID 45131.
With an orbital eccentricity of 3.29E-04, the satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 1,215km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 1,220km. It takes 94 minutes to orbit the Earth at an inclination of 87 degrees to the equatorial plane of the Earth.
