Progress-M 14M docked 2012 Jan 28.006 With ISS (Pirs port). Undocked 2012 Apr 19.461. It stayed in orbit for 9 days to conduct the Radar-Progress
Experiment. Several firings of thrusters were made and the ionospheric effects were observed using a radar transmitter near Irkutsk.
LAser RElativity Satellite; a sphere of tungsten alloy with 92 cube corner retroreflectors, is a science satellite developed by ASI to study the
‘Lense–Thirring effect’ – a consequence of Einstein’s general relativity – explaining precession of bodies’ orbits in the vicinity of large spinning
masses such as Earth.
Zone de Lancement Vega build on the old ELA1 pad
ALMASat-1 (Alma Mater Satellite) is a 12.5 kg technology demonstration microsatellite developed and built by the University of Bologne. It consists of a
30 cm cube designed as a modular structure that could be used for various technology demonstrations or Earth observation missions. On this first mission
The main objective will be to test the key performance, such as 3-axis pointing accuracy, of this low-cost multipurpose bus in preparation for future missions.

The identification of objects D, G-J not yet certain.
e-St@r Developed by the Polytechnics Institute of Turin, Italy. It will test an active determination and control subsystem for 3-axis control as well as a
set of commercial components and materials.
Goliat Developed by the University of Bucharest, Romania. It will perform Earth imaging with a 3-megapixel digital camera and conduct measurements of
radiation and micrometeoroids in low-Earth orbit. This is Romania’s first satellite.
MaSat-1 (Magyar Satellite) Developed by the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary. It will demonstrate a power conditioning system, a
transceiver and an onboard data handling system. This is Hungary’s first satellite.
PW-Sat-1 Developed by the Warsaw University of Technology, Poland. It will deploy a solar sail as a deployable drag augmentation device in order to
accelerate the removal of picosatellites at the end of their missions. This is Poland’s first satellite.
Robusta (Radiation On Bipolar for University Satellite Test Application) Developed by the University of Montpellier, France. It will study the effect of
radiation on electronic components based on bipolar transistors for comparison with its own degradation models.
UniCubeSat GG Developed by the GAUSS astrodynamics group of the University of Rome ‘La Sapienza’,Italy. It will deploy two booms to demonstrate
gravity-gradient stabilisation on a picosatellite. Each boom will carry a solar panel at its end to generate electrical power.
XaTcobeo Developed by the University of Vigo, Spain. It will test a software-defined reconfigurable radio and an ionising radiation measurement system.
It will also test a solar panel deployment system.

Breeze-M stage malfunctioned at begin of 3rd burn. The sats and tank separated from the stage by a preset timer, but in lower orbits.
Space-Track mixed up the designations. On 2012 August 11 it had the above designations.
On 2012 Oct 16 the Breeze-M stage exploded. More than 500 pieces of debris are being tracked.

Venozuelan Remote Sensing Satellite, renamed 2012 in Francisco del Miranda.
Cargo ReSupply to the ISS. It rendezvoused with ISS 2012 Oct 10; then grappled by the stations robotic arm 2012 Oct 10.455 and 2012 Oct 10.544 docked to
the ISS ( Harmony nadir port). Undocked 2012 Oct 28.496 and released from the robotic arm 2012 Oct 28.560.
The 1st stage suffered a engine shutdown of one of its nine main engines. A longer burn of the 1st and 2nd stage brought the Dracon to the intended orbit.
But not enough fuel was left for a good 2nd burn of the 2nd stage to place the Orbcomm satellite in a higher orbit.

* The Fregat upperstage made 2 burns to place Pleiades 1B in the right orbit; than performed a de-orbit burn and was not catalogued.
** The Breeze-M 4th burn of almost 9 minutes ended 4 minutes early and Yamal 402 was separated in a lower than planned orbit.
TLE’s for B and C were reversed the 1st 6 days.
# 2nd flight of the re-usable space-plane that performed the OTV-1 mission. The centaur upper stage was de-orbited after space-plane separation.
## 1st big orbit change sine launch
