In the first day after the placement of Polish scientific satellite into orbit Lem repeatedly alluded to him connectivity – informed on the project website BRITE-PL.
Thursday at. 8:10:11 Russian Dnepr rocket was Lem’s orbit. The first contact took place in the morning during the first pass of the satellite over Europe, the second passage over Warsaw there was no communication with the satellite – most likely due to the lack of precise coordinates of Lem.
Next call took place on Thursday afternoon. At 17.00 Polish data from our satellite earth station received SFL in Toronto, where “Lem” was over eastern Canada. Another flight over Canada ended with the successful attempt to establish a connection and downloading of data.
turn in the chair. 19.30 telemetry received at the station in Warsaw, where satellite again flew over the Polish, and again on Friday at. 9.20.
currently ends so. Phase LEOP (Launch and Early Orbit Phase), the most critical period of the mission, in which the engineers responsible for the design, launch, monitor and control the work of sub-satellite transceiver immediately after placing it on the target orbit.
will start soon so. commissioning phase, ie validation operations consecutively incorporated satellite subsystems and their functional testing and calibration of optical instrument. This phase of the launch will take about three months, and then “Lem” will begin its scientific work, ie will conduct regular observations of the brightest stars in our galaxy. (PAP)
