Known as the Venusian Precision Observatory, the mission goal is simple: orbit a satellite around Venus and monitor its rotation precisely. The trio of "PhoneSats" is operating in orbit, and may prove to be the lowest-cost satellites ever flown in space. Later this month, Europe's newest meteorology satellite, MetOp-B, will blast into space from Baikonur Cosmodrome. The twin of an MSU student-built satellite that was launched in the spring but failed to reach orbit because an anomaly with the rocket is scheduled to be launched Oct. Compared to the first Vega flight, VV02 will change both the inclinations and orbital altitudes for the satellites. The Kepler telescope, a satellite telescope in orbit around the Sun* designed to look for exoplanets, has come to the end of its original mission. The satellite will undertake a 300-day journey to Mars. Weather satellite to be delivered in orbit to Eumetsat. RRM gives NASA a platform to work out these problems by practicing them on orbit. With today's launch, Arianespace is continuing its partnership with the scientific community, especially for Earth observation missions, by validating innovative satellite concepts in orbit. Most satellites orbit Earth higher than 400 km. This additional information is expected to improve the design and operation of future Earth observation missions. "MSU's SSEL has the unique distinction of being the only university to fly a CubeSat on both of NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellite (ELaNa) missions," Klumpar said.
