Proton Launch Advisory: HOT BIRD 8
July 28, 2006
Payload: HOT BIRD 8
Eurostar E3000 platform
Separated mass: approx. 4,875 kg (10,748 lbs)
Launch Vehicle: Proton M/Breeze M
Weight at liftoff: 691,272 kg (1.5 million lbs), including payload
Height: 61 m (200 ft)
Launch Time: 3:48 a.m. Aug. 5 Baikonur
21:48 Aug. 4 GMT
5:48 p.m. Aug. 4 EDT
Launch Site: Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan
Launch Pad 39
End User: EUTELSAT, Paris
Satellite Manufacturer: EADS Space, Toulouse, France
Launch Vehicle Manufacturer: Khrunichev State Research and Production Space Center, Moscow
Launch Services Provider: International Launch Services (ILS), McLean, Va.
Satellite Use: Multipurpose Ku-band communications satellite serving cable and satellite homes in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, including Russia and Kazakhstan.
Satellite Statistics: 64 active Ku-band transponders
Mission Profile: The Proton launch vehicle will inject the satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit, using a five-burn Breeze M mission design. The first three stages of the Proton will use a standard ascent trajectory to place the Breeze M fourth stage, with the satellite, into a suborbital trajectory, from which the Breeze M will place itself and the spacecraft into a circular parking orbit of 173 km (107.5 miles), inclined at 51.5 degrees. Then the satellite will be propelled to its transfer orbit by additional burns of the Breeze M. Following separation from the Breeze M, the spacecraft will perform a series of liquid apogee engine burns to raise perigee, lower inclination and circularize the orbit at the geostationary altitude of 35,786 km (22,236 miles).
Target Orbit at Separation: Apogee: 35,786 km (22,236 miles)
Perigee: 3,800 km (2,361 miles)
Inclination: 13 degrees
Spacecraft Separation: Approximately 9 hours, 11 minutes after liftoff
ILS Mission
Statistics: 2nd ILS Proton mission of 2006
4th ILS mission overall for 2006
6th Proton launch of Eurostar bus
37th ILS mission on Proton
