NASA Goddard Space Flight Center enables NASA's mission through four scientific endeavors: Earth Science, Heliophysics, Solar System Exploration, and Astrophysics. Russia's Russia has a long history of launching animals into space on both orbital and suborbital missions. The first book in this series of books, DIY Satellite Platforms: Building a Space-Ready General Base Picosatellite for Any Mission explains how to do this. After a 15-hour, 31-minute mission, the Breeze M upper stage of the Proton rocket successfully released the SES-6 satellite directly into geostationary transfer orbit.

A Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) stopped sending imaging and sounding data late May 22, prompting the Boeing-made satellite to enter into an orbital safe mode. €[Phoenix is a] modest effort to increase the return-on-investment for DoD space missions,” Dave Barnhart, a DARPA program manager, said at a press conference. Retired satellites that continue to orbit the Earth will soon be reused after the Department of Defense (DoD) sends robotic devices to space to bring the retirees back to life. Worried about the environmental impact of space debris? Over the East Coast, says Ron Mahmot, the mission operations division manager for GOES at NOAA. The craft's inclination remained at 43.5 degrees. It also reduces the amount of space debris that is permanently in orbit. NASA's fleet of Earth-observing satellites constantly circle the globe, completing their orbits every 90 minutes. Healthy, officials are considering the possibility of an “external disturbance” — a micrometeoroid collision — causing an “attitude disturbance” in the satellite's orbit 22,300 mi. For mission control teams at ESA, liftoff marks the start of 72 hours of intense focus during the mission's critical launch and early orbit phase. Russia launched an returnable world's only satellite dedicated to biological research 'orbital Noah's Ark' to space. Satellite watchers did note that in early March, OTV-3 propelled itself upward 29 miles (46 kilometers) to raise its orbit to 248 miles (399 km).
