2019 - Satellite & Spacecraft Launches and Detailed Orbits

Listed are launches, irrespective of outcome, that were irretrievably committed to flight towards orbit or intended to accelerate the payload to escape velocity.

Launch times are in UTC and are from the launching agency or estimated by 'walking back' along the ground track to the launch site. The PRIME source of orbit data and decay information is SpaceTrack. All other major sources draw heavily on the Space-Track data.

To fill the gaps where Space-Track's elements are not published because they have a classification of "Secret", a minority of orbits is based on amateur observations using visual and radio techniques. Such data is published near-daily by Mike McCants and the source observations can often be found in the web-based Seesat-L discussion group. Occasionally, early orbit data are published by satellite owners and may cover periods before SpaceTrack lists a new object. In extreme cases, orbits are estimated from public data.

Apogee and perigee are measured against a spherical Earth situated at the focus of the orbital ellipse and with a radius of 6378.145 km. Care should be exercised when comparing with other published orbits even when the source is shown as SpaceTrack because they may be be based on a different model.

Carrying crew to ISS - Alexandr Skortsov (Roscosmos), Luca Parmatiano (ESA) and Andrew Morgan (NASA). Precise launch time 16:28:21 UTC. Docked with the aft port of Zvezda Jul 20 at 22:47:50 UTC. Undocked, carrying its original crew, Aug 26 at 03:35 UTC and re-docked under manual control with the Poisk module at 03:59 UTC in order to allow Soyuz MS-14 to use Zvezda after its aborted docking with Poisk. Undocked 2020 Feb 6, 08:50 UTC carrying Skortsov, Parmatiano and Christina Koch (NASA). Retro-fire at 08:18 OTC led to landing shortly before 09:13 UTC approx 150 km SE of Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan.

Precise launch time 10:17:56 UTC. Released from the launch vehicle Oct 10 at 01:53 UTC. Oct 24, Eutelsat revealed an unspecified problem with one of the solar arrays (probably not having deployed fully, if at all). 2020 Jan 17, Eutelsat confirmed the south solar array did not deploy and the satellite is working at 45% capacity. Expected location - 5° west.

Northrop Grumman vehicle carrying supplies to ISS under CRS-2 contract with NASA. Precise launch time 13:59:47 UTC at the beginning of approximately five minute window. Separated from launch vehicle 14:07:36 UTC. Arrived ISS Nov 4 and captured by ISS RMS at 09:10 UTC under control of crew. Docked with downward-facing port of Unity module using RMS under control of ground-based engineers at 11:21 UTC. Undocked 2020 Jan 31 then released from RMS at 13:36 UTC the same day. Whilst in post-undocking free flight, Cygnus released a number of Cubesats and hosted a payload for the US company, Lynk, for experimentation in using space based-mobile phone cells. Planned re-entry 2020 Mar 2 was delayed in order to extend the Lynk tests. Retro fire Mar 17 around 23:00 UTC led to re-entry above the southern Pacific Ocean around 23:40 UTC.

Supplies to ISS. Captured by ISS Remote Manipulator System under manual control Dec 8 at 10:05 UTC. Docked, using the RMS under ground control, with the downward-facing port of the Harmony node at 12:47 UTC. Undocked using RMS under ground control, 2020 - Jan 6 or Jan 7, released under ground control Jan 7, 10:05 UTC, two minutes later than scheduled. Retro fire Jan 7, approx14:47 UTC led to splashdown off California near 31° north, 121° west at 15:42 UTC.

Boeing Starliner OFT 1 2019-094A 44900						Re-entered - 2019 Dec 22 Life 2 days Returned to Earth
Orbital Flight Test - first test mission for new vehicle to be used for ferrying crew and cargo to/from ISS, no crew carried on this mission. On separation from launch vehicle, Starliner received sufficient thrust to enter very low orbit but software problem prevented major thruster firing and caused it to use up propellant on unnecessary attitude control, leaving insufficient for ISS rendezvous. Retro-fire Dec 22 at 12:01 UTC led to touchdown 12:58 UTC at White Sands Space Harbor, New Mexico, USA.
