<P><FONT SIZE=2>Good day.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>NASA's Gravity Probe B satellite launched April 20th and I failed to mention</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>it. This has been a very long time in the making and folks I know from the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Pioneer missions and Lunar Prospector Mission have been working on it at</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>He has a lot of other information as well. - LRK -</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>In keeping with the idea of going back to the Moon, we have heard that</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Description</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) intends to release</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>an Announcement of Opportunity (AO) for Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Measurement Investigations in May 2004. These investigations will respond to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the overall LRO mission objectives to obtain those measurements necessary</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and sufficient to characterize future robotic and human lunar landing sites</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>and to identify potential resources, with emphasis on applied</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>science/engineering assessments. The LRO mission will require a variety of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>instruments to be carried on a spacecraft to be launched in the fall 2008,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>with a prime mission phase in lunar orbit of at least one Earth year. The</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>launch services and spacecraft will be NASA-provided resources. Proposals in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>response to this AO will be due 90 days after its formal release.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Participation in this AO will be open to all categories of U.S. and non-U.S.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>organizations, including educational institutions, industry, not-for-profit</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>organizations, Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, NASA</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Centers and other Government agencies.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>An extended version of this announcement can be found at "Announcements" at:</FONT>

</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>-------</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>This is to let folks who are interested in proposing, know that they should</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>start seconded guessing what to propose. You work at getting the document</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>in order based on past proposals and then do a change at the last minute to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>conform to the page requirements.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>It takes a long time to put together your participants and design your</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>proposal in a way that hopefully will win in the selection process. When</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the real Request For Proposal comes out there often is not enough time to do</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>all the work that would be necessary. That 90 days goes quickly.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Now if the folks in Hawaii that worked on the "Polar Night" Discovery</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Mission proposal, pick up on this, they would have a head start. You need a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>spacecraft bus, instruments, launch vehicle, navigation expertise (would</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>like to get to the Moon and in orbit).</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>----------------------------------------------------------------------------</FONT>

</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Space Station Expedition 9 has begun with the Apr 19 launch of Soyuz TMA</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>spacecraft 11F732 No. 214, designated Soyuz TMA-4. Soyuz TMA-4 is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>transport mission ISS 8S and delivers the Expedition 9 crew of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Gennadiy Padalka and Michael Fincke, together with the ESA/Netherlands</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>DELTA mission crewmember Andre Kuipers, to the Space Station. The Dutch</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>astronaut will return to Earth with the Expedition 8 crew of Michael</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Foale and Aleksandr Kaleri on Soyuz TMA-3, leaving Expedition 9 in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>charge of the station. Soyuz TMA-4 docked with the nadir port on Zarya</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>at 0501 UTC on Apr 21 and the hatches to the ISS were opened at 0630</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>UTC. Meanwhile, another gyro on the station has shut down and may</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>require a maintenance spacewalk to replace its failed electronics box.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>NASA's Gravity Probe B satellite was finally launched on 2004 Apr 20</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>after 40 years of development. The 3145 kg spacecraft carries 4</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>gyroscopes kept at 1.8 Kelvin by a liquid helium dewar, laser</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>retroreflectors and 2 GPS receivers for orbit determination, a drag</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>compensation system, and a 14 cm aperture quartz telescope. The</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>challenging physics experiment, developed by Stanford University</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>together with Lockheed Martin, will observe the 5th magnitude star IM</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Peg for over a year, attempting to measure the tiny shifts in the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>gyroscopes' orientation caused by the Lense-Thirring gravitomagnetic</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>(or `frame-dragging') effect predicted by general relativity. The</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>frame-dragging caused by the Earth's rotation will make the orbital</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>plane rotate by 40.9 millarcseconds per year. GP-B's polar orbital</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>inclination of 90.01 degrees was chosen to minimize the orbital plane</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>rotation due to the Newtonian effect of the Earth's polar flattening,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>which is proportional to the cosine of the inclination. GP-B will also</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>make an accurate measurement of the well-established gravitostatic</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>warping of spacetime due to the Earth's mass, which is a much larger</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>effect of 6.6 arcseconds per year in a perpendicular (in-plane) direction.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>One way of thinking about the gravitomagnetic effect is as a kind of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>antigravity, in that it decreases the gravitational attraction between</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>two moving masses. Like electromagnetism, it is always smaller (by</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>powers of v/c) than the static gravitational attraction. In</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>electromagnetism, however, the static effect can be (and usually is)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>cancelled out by having equal amounts of positive and negative electric</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>charges, and so the small relativity effect between moving charges that</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>we call "magnetism" becomes dominant and indeed familiar. Because there</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>are no negative gravitational charges (even antimatter particles have</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>positive mass) this never happens with gravity, ensuring that the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>antigravity, moving-masses, Lense-Thirring effect is always much less</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>than the normal positive gravity generated by the same masses, and thus</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>doesn't do starship inventors any good. [Warning: I am not a real</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>relativist: there are probably egregious errors in the above</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>description.]</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>In Newtonian physics when a satellite orbits a spherical planet the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>orbital plane of the satellite `stays put' and the planet `turns</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>underneath it'. It doesn't matter whether or not the planet is rotating.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The effect of relativistic frame dragging is to change the meaning of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>`stays put', rotating the path of a locally freely falling object near</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the planet with respect to the distant universe. We think of the gravity</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of the rotating planet dragging spacetime around with it. For a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>non-polar orbit, it becomes easier to orbit in the direction of rotation</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>than against it, with the equivalent of Kepler's third law becoming</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>inclination-dependent - in some sense a prograde orbit has a lower</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>orbital velocity than a retrograde orbit of the same height, because the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>mass pulls it around for free. Around a rotating black hole, this effect</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>becomes huge, and the last stable prograde orbit is much closer in than</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the last stable retrograde orbit.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The Delta 7920 rocket entered a 167 x 652 km transfer orbit and then</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>fired again to put GP-B in a 641 x 645 km x 90.01 deg orbit. The second</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>stage then separated and two further burns put it in a 182 x 631 km x</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>94.56 deg orbit to ensure that it would not recontact GP-B and that it</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>will reenter rapidly.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>China launched two small satellites from its low-latitude Xichang launch</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>site on Apr 18 into a 599 x 615 km x 97.7 deg polar orbit. This was the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>first polar launch from Xichang; previous Chinese sun-synchronous</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>missions were from Taiyuan. Shiyan 1 ('Experiment') is a 204 kg</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>microsatellite developed by the Harbin Institute of Technology, with a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>stereo imager to carry out land resource mapping. Naxing 1 (a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>contraction of Nami Weixing 'Nanosatellite') is an experimental vehicle</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>with mass under 25 kg to test small satellite technology and was</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>developed by Tsinghua University in Beijing. Pictures of the launch show</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>a fairing similar to the one used for the CZ-2C/SD but given the low</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>total mass of the payloads I'm assuming that no upper stage was used and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>that the CZ-2C second stage entered orbit; payload deployment was 12 min</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>after launch. Four objects have been cataloged: two objects in the 599 x</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>615 km orbit are probably Shiyan-1 and Naxing 1, while a third object in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>a 543 x 619 km orbit is believed by visual observers to be the second</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>stage. Seven debris objects have been cataloged, of which four are</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>probably the second stage separation motor covers. 2004-14D is in a much</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>lower perigee orbit of 350 x 606 km x 97 deg and may have separated</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>prior to second stage vernier cutoff. (It's also possible that 14D is</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>the second stage, and 14C is a third stage insertion motor; at the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>moment I think this is less likely.)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>A Lockheed Martin Atlas IIAS, serial AC-163, was launched on Apr 16 into</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>a 150 x 396 km parking orbit and then restarted to reach a 167 x 122343</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>km x 26.3 deg highly elliptical orbit. It delivered to orbit the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Superbird 6 satellite, a Boeing BSS-601 model which will provide Ka and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Ku band communications for Japan's Space Communications Corp. with the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>operational name of Superbird A2. The high apogee orbit will allow</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Superbird 6 to lower its inclination to equatorial with a minimum usage</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of fuel, and only then lower its orbital height to the 35780 km</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>geostationary altitude. Once again, Space Command took a long time to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>issue orbital data; the first elset was issued on Apr 21, giving an</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>orbit of 1137 x 120678 km x 25.48 deg following the initial apogee</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>burns.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The Briz from the Eutelsat launch and the Blok DM from the Kosmos-2406</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>launch have still not been tracked; I gather that Space Command has</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>fewer deep space sensors than it used to, due to budget cuts. Given the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>increasing importance of deep space `situational awareness', I assume</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>this suprising lack of US capability will be remedied fairly soon.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Kosmos-2406 is now being tracked in geostationary orbit at 85.0E.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Eutelsat W3A is on station at 1.8E.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>The Scaled Composites rocket-powered Spaceship One made its second</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>powered flight on Apr 8 to an altitude of 32 km. This altitude has</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>previously been exceeded on a piloted flight by the Ross-Prather 1961</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>balloon flight, one Ye-66 (modified MiG-21) and two Ye-266 (modified</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>MiG-25) jet flights, several NF-104A Starfighter flights, one X-2</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>flight, many flights of the X-15 rocketplanes, and of course all</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>spaceflights. Once the Scaled team reaches 37 km it will be closer to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>record territory: the highest non-X-15 piloted flights I am aware of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>were Aleksandr Fedotov's 37.7 km MiG E-266M flight on 1977 Aug 31 and</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Iven Kincheloe's 38.5 km X-2 flight on 1956 Sep 7. There were 70 flights</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>of the X-15 higher than that.</FONT>
