In Geo Transfer Orbit
CRS2 is the second re-supply flight to the ISS. After launch 3 of the 4 thrusterpods were not activated automatically and the solar panels not deployed.
They were activated by a command override and the solar panels deployed. Rendez-vous with ISS delayed till 2013 Mar 3 and grappled 2013 Mar 3.438 by the
stations robotic arm. Berthed 2013 Mar 3.580 to ISS (Harmony nadir port) by ground control from Houston and Canada. CRS2 was early 2013 Mar 26 unberthed
from the ISS by the robotic arm and released 2013 Mar 26.455
Fragments are the solar array covers.
Decayed at 46°S, 111° W
No TLE released, orbit from pre-launch information.

First test flight of the Antares rocket with a dummy payload, a 3800 kg aluminium block to simulate the Cygnus spacecraft.
The ID’s of the A and D object were interchanged after the objects already had decayed, based on the observation of the decay of the D object over Chile.
Technoly demonstration nanosatellite. Deployed before the dummy mass was separated from the 2nd stage.
Named Phonesat for the use of a smart phone as board computer from NASA Ames research Center. Deployed before the dummy mass was separated from the 2nd stage.
Progress-M 19M docked 2013 Apr 26.518 with ISS (Zvezda aft port); a KURS antenna did not deploy, but no problem with the automatic docking. Undocked
2013 Jun 11.582 and stayed in orbit for the Radar Progress Experiment.

Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer launched in a highly elliptical orbit was captured 2013 Oct 6 after 3.5 orbits by the moon’s gravity.
On 2013 Oct 6 it used the onboard motor to break into Lunar orbit. Ladee crashed 2014 Apr 28 on the far side of the Moon some 800 m from the rim of
the Sundman V crater. The impact point was identified on a photo by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

Cygnus aborted the approach to ISS 2013 Sep 22.229 due to faulty GPS readings. A second attempt was made 2013 Sep 29. At Sep 29.458 the station’s robotic
Arm captured Cygnus and berthed it 2013 Sep 29.530 to the earth facing port of the Harmony module. Cygnus was unberthed by the stations robotic arm and
released 2013 Oct 22.480
First launch of the quick response orbital vehicle. Kuaizhou means Quick Vessel. The 4th stage remained attached to the satellite.

Kuaizhou-1 performed small orbit raisings once every 2 weeks to mantain
Its low orbit. In 2013 Sep the satellite started to move to a higher
orbit, probably because the fuel ran low.

Polar Orbiting Passive Atmospheric Calibration Spheres, 3 white aluminium spheres.
Five of the fragments are the separation discs between the POPACS. The other fragments are from the Falcon 9 2nd stage, probably isolation. It took
Sat-Track more than a week to correctly identify the payloads and fragments.

MOM (Mangalyaan)is India’s 1st launch to Mars. MOM’s orbit around earth was raised 5 times by its onboard motor. On 2013 Nov 30 MOM was propelling
itself into solar orbit towards Mars with arrival in 2014 Sep 24. On 2014 Jun 11 made its 2nd Trajectory Correction Maneuver. MOM was 102.1 million km
from Earth and 27.95 million km from Mars. At 2014 Sep 24.075 a burn of 24min14sec put MOM in Marsorbit. ** Marsorbits.

Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolotioN arrived at Mars 2014 September 22. After a burn of 34min26sec Maven was captured by Mars. ## Mars orbits
Space Test Program Satellite. Operationally Responsive Space 3 mission.
From the connector between rocket and STPSat 28 cubesats were launched from PPOD’s. Below are the details for most of the Cubesats.
#1 Close Orbiting Propellant Plume and Elemental Recognition
#2 From Hawaii. #3 From Kentucky. #4 Naval Postgraduate School – Solar Cell Array Tester. #5 from New Mexico. #6 from Alabama. #7 from Florida
#8 Cajun Advanced Picosat Experiment 2 from Louisiana. #9 Thomas Jefferson Cube Sat from Virginia. #10 Two 1.5 CubeSats who will separate in orbit and
joined by a 1 km tether (not ready for launch). #11 fronm NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Maryland.
#12 Space Environmental NanoSat Experiment. #13 ORS Enabler Satellite. #14 Space-based Telescopes for Actionable Refinement of Emphemeris spacecraft.
#15 from John Hopkins University. #16 from Los Alamos National Laboratory to demonstrate the operation of a constellation of Cube Sats. As #10 was
not ready for launch more Promotheus Sats were launched.

*1 The UniSat-5 satellite itself hosts a number of CubeSats and PocketCubes for deployment over the course of the first month of its mission in orbit. Those
satellites are carried inside CubeSat launchers and PocketCube Launchers installed on the spacecraft. The PocketCubes launched aboard UniSat-5 are BeakerSat 1,
$50Sat, Wren and QubeScout S1 and the CubeSats are Dove-4, HumSat-D, ICube-1 and PUCPSat1 that itself will deploy a 127-gram picosatellite Pocket-PUCP during
its mission.
*6 South African Cubesat; *2 Weather News Inc Satellite; *4 Cubesat for ION, Neutral, Electron, MAgnegtic fields.

The rocket veered off course about 23 seconds after liftoff.
The 1st stage engine was shut down and the rocket fell into the
Pacific Ocean some 58 seconds after liftoff.
The rocket rose from the platform for a few seconds, then veered of to
the left, then hard right while rolling rapidly and turn over. The upper
satge and the 3 satellites broke loose and the rocket exploded. It hit the
Ground not far from the launchpad after some 30 seconds.
The launch was live on television.

The CZ-4B 3rd stage had a malfunction and the satellite didn’t reach orbit.
The engine shut down 11 sec too early; velocity was 0.25 km/s too low for
reaching an 770 km orbit. CBERS-3 and the 3rd stage re-entered over Antarctica
or the South Pacific Ocean. CBERS-3 had contact with ground stations for 15 min.
