Description
Amsat P3D (also known as Phase 3-D, and as Amsat Oscar40) is an international amateur radio spacecraft (of the Germanorganization, AMateur radio SATellites) that was launched byan Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou at 01:07 UT. The 400 kg, 250W spacecraft is the largest amateur-support spacecraft,carrying 5 receivers (in the HF, VHF/UHF, L, S, and C bands)and seven transmitters (in the HF, K, VHF/UHF, S, and Xbands). Also carried on-board are some experimentalinstruments such as two cosmic ray monitors named TDE, andCPE, two wide-angle cameras in the SCOPE unit available forthe amateurs to command their images from locations ofinterest, a passive ionospheric "sounder" to scan the 0.5 to30.0 MHz band so as to derive the electron densities in theupper part of the ionosphere, and a GPS-receiver to locate thespacecraft position.

Description
CHAMP (CHAllenging Minisatellite Payload) is a German smallsatellite mission for geoscientific and atmospheric researchand applications, managed by GeoForschungsZentrum (GFZ).The payload includes an accelerometer, magnetometers, aGPS receiver, a laser retro reflector, and an ion drift meter.With its orbit characteristics (near polar, low altitude, longduration) CHAMP will generate for the first time simultaneouslyhighly precise gravity and magnetic field measurements over a5 years period. This will allow to detect besides the spatialvariations of both fields also their variability with time. Inaddition CHAMP is a pilot mission for the pre-operational useof space-borne GPS observations for atmospheric andionospheric research and applications in weather predictionand space weather monitoring. The 500 kg, triaxially stabilizedspacecraft was launched by a Kosmos-3M rocket fromPlesetsk at 12:00 UT, along with two other satellites.

Description
This Cluster II spacecraft, FM5 (Rumba), is also known asPhoenix, after a mythical Arabian bird which was burnt on afuneral pile and then rose from the ashes to live again. Theoriginal Cluster of four spacecraft experienced a launch failurein 1996. (NSSDC will carry the name "Cluster96" in itsinformation files to designate the unsuccessful 1996 four-spacecraft Ariane 5 launch.)
Phoenix was approved in July 1996 as a replacement for thelost four-spacecraft group. It was later (April 1997) agreed thatthe potential science return from a full Cluster reflight was soimportant that a further three near-replicas of the originalspacecraft would also be built.
This Cluster II spacecraft, FM5 (Rumba), was launchedtogether with FM8 (Tango) by a Soyuz-Fregat rocket fromBaikonur. The four similar spacecraft of the Cluster II missionare part of ESA's and NASA's Solar-Terrestrial ScienceProgram (STSP). The purpose of the Cluster II mission is tostudy small-scale structures in three dimensions in the Earth'splasma environment, such as those involved in the interactionbetween the solar wind and the magnetospheric plasma, inglobal magnetotail dynamics, in cross-tail currents, and in theformation and dynamics of the neutral line and of plasmoids.
The four Cluster II spacecraft will orbit in a tetrahedralformation in near-polar orbits of nominally 4 x 19.6 Earth radii,with period about 57 hours, and inclination about 90.7degrees. Relative distances between the spacecraft will beadjusted in the course of the mission, depending on the spatialscales of the structures to be studied, varying from a fewhundred km to a few Earth radii. The tetrahedral formation isessential for making three-dimensional measurements and fordetermining the curl of vectorial quantities such as themagnetic field.
The orbits of all four spacecraft will be frequently maneuveredso as to achieve the targeted investigations. Seehttp://jsoc1.bnsc.rl.ac.uk/pub/PlanningData.html for ongoingupdates of orbital information and other status.
Each spacecraft will be spin-stabilized, normally at around 15rpm, and will be cylindrical in shape, with a 2.9-m diameter and1.3-m length. It will have two rigid 5-m radial experimentbooms, four 50-m experiment wire booms, and two axialtelecommunications antenna booms. Telemetry downlink bitrate will be 2 to 262 kbit/s.
Each spacecraft will have AC and DC magnetometers, an

Cluster operations will be performed by ESOC in Darmstadt,Germany, with support from NASA's Deep Space Network.Cluster is also an IACG mission. The scientific data aredistributed by ESOC using CD-ROM as a medium to thePrincipal Investigators, Co-Investigators and the network ofeight national data centres (6 in Europe, 1 in USA and 1 inChina) that form the Cluster Science Data System (CSDS).There are approximately 80 recipients world-wide. Scienceoperations are carried out by the Joint Science OperationsCentre, co-located with the UK data centre at RAL, Didcot. Awide scientific community will have differing rights of access tothe Cluster data. Scientists wishing to access Cluster datashould contact their national Data Centres.
An article on 'The Resurrection of the Cluster ScientificMission' was published in ESA Bulletin no. 91 (August 1997).
A complete overview of the original mission, written before theloss with Ariane-5, was given in a series of articles in ESABulletin no. 84 (November 1995).

Description
This Cluster II spacecraft, FM7 (Samba), was launchedtogether with FM6 (Salsa) by a Soyuz-Fregat rocket fromBaikonur. The four similar spacecraft of the Cluster II missionare part of ESA's and NASA's Solar-Terrestrial ScienceProgram (STSP). The current Cluster II mission is a near-replica of the original four-spacecraft mission lost at launch in1996. (NSSDC will carry the name "Cluster96" in itsinformation files to designate the unsuccessful 1996 four-spacecraft Ariane 5 launch.)
The purpose of the Cluster II mission is to study small-scalestructures in three dimensions in the Earth's plasmaenvironment, such as those involved in the interaction betweenthe solar wind and the magnetospheric plasma, in globalmagnetotail dynamics, in cross-tail currents, and in theformation and dynamics of the neutral line and of plasmoids.
The four Cluster II spacecraft will orbit in a tetrahedralformation in near-polar orbits of nominally 4 x 19.6 Earth radii,with period about 57 hours, and inclination about 90.7degrees.. Relative distances between the spacecraft will beadjusted in the course of the mission, depending on the spatialscales of the structures to be studied, varying from a fewhundred km to a few Earth radii. The tetrahedral formation isessential for making three-dimensional measurements and fordetermining the curl of vectorial quantities such as themagnetic field.
The orbits of all four spacecraft will be frequently maneuveredso as to achieve the targeted investigations. Seehttp://jsoc1.bnsc.rl.ac.uk/pub/PlanningData.html for ongoingupdates of orbital information and other status.
Each spacecraft will be spin-stabilized, normally at around 15rpm, and will be cylindrical in shape, with a 2.9-m diameter and1.3-m length. It will have two rigid 5-m radial experimentbooms, four 50-m experiment wire booms, and two axialtelecommunications antenna booms. Telemetry downlink bitrate will be 2 to 262 kbit/s.
Each spacecraft will have AC and DC magnetometers, anelectric fields and waves sensor, an electron emitter/detector,an electron density sounder, electron and ion plasmaanalysers, an energetic particle detector, an ion emitter, and adata processing unit.
Cluster operations will be performed by ESOC in Darmstadt,Germany, with support from NASA's Deep Space Network.Cluster is also an IACG mission. The scientific data are

Description
Cosmos 2370 was a Russian military reconnaissancespacecraft that was launched by a Soyuz-U rocket fromBaikonur at 13:25 UT. It was the 22nd member of the Nemanfleet of spy satellites. It was a follow-up to the Tselina 2(Cosmos 2369) spacecraft which merely intercepted radiotransmissions, especially over Chechnya; Cosmos 2370 hadphoto-reconnaissance resources also, with data arriving indigital form. According to Moscow's Kommersant newspaper,until this launch, Russia had remained without photo-reconnaissance resources for five months, after the failure ofthe Kobalt (Cosmos 2365) spacecraft in December 1999. Theimaging will be done mainly over Chechnya, since there is nofunctional relaying resource in geosynchronous orbit (via thenow dysfunctional Geyzer spacecraft) for images fromelsewhere on the globe.

Cosmos 2372, also named as Yenisey and as Orlets 2, is aRussian military photo reconnaissance spacecraft that waslaunched by a Zenit 2 rocket from Baykonur at 10:20 UT. The12 ton spacecraft is fitted with 22 capsules to carry and landthe high resolution photographs. Unlike previous photoreconnaissance spacecraft which had functioned only for twoto three months, this one is expected to function for a year.
