10 To prevent the impact of spacecraft RF emission on the proper functioning of the L/V electronic components and RF systems during ground operations and in flight, the spacecraft should be designed to respect the L/V susceptibility levels given in Figure 8. FIGURE 8 - L/V SUSCEPTIBILITY LEVEL AT SPACECRAFT/ADAPTER INTERFACE 3.5 Operation constraints Launch constraints: - Launch windows: The Vega L/V can be launched any day of the year, any time of the day respecting the specified lift-off time. - Launch slot: 1 month within the launch period (stabilized conditions) - Launch postponement: by 24 hours or 48 hours December 2004 Page 10

11 A typical schedule for non-recurring missions is based on a 24-months timeline as shown in Figure 9. This planning can be reduced for recurrent spacecraft, taken into account the heritage of previous similar flights, or in case of the existence of a compatibility agreement between the spacecraft platform and the launch system. Note: and - the deliverables and tasks of the Customer FIGURE 9 TYPICAL MISSION INTEGRATION SCHEDULE December 2004 Page 11

12 Flight constraints: During the boost phase and up to separation of the payloads, no command signal can be sent to the payload or generated by the S/C onboard system. After the boost phase and before the S/C separation, commands can be provided to the S/C. Integration process: The operations can be divided in 6 main phases: - Pre-campaign (to be completed before the campaign itself): 1 st stage integration in the BIP Bâtiment d Intégration des Propulseurs - Launcher propulsion operation within the Mobile Gantry: P80 (Stage 1) electrical and mechanical acceptance tests, Zefiro 23 (Stage 2) integration on P80, electrical and mechanical tests, Zefiro 9 (Stage 3) integration on Z23, electrical and mechanical tests, AVUM is integrated on Z9, Launch Vehicle acceptance tests. The corresponding functional links are plugged to the ground facilities. - Spacecraft preparation in EPCU: S/C preparation and checkout inside non-hazardous area Transfer to hazardous area S/C hazardous operations - Upper Assembly constitution (S/C + adaptor + fairing) in EPCU: Transfer from Airport (or Harbour) towards EPCU Buildings Adaptor unpacking and preparation Halves fairing unpacking and preparation Integration of S/C on the adaptor Integration of the 2 half fairings around the S/C Check of the Upper Assembly Preparation to transfer. - Combined operations with L/V: Transfer of the Upper Assembly on the AVUM Integration on the AVUM Check of Upper Assembly link to the L/V and to the ground Filling of the AVUM Arming and inspections - Final sequence: Removal of the Mobile Gantry Launch countdown Lift-off December 2004 Page 12

13 4. LAUNCH INFORMATION 4.1 Launch site launch operations are carried out by Arianespace using the former ARIANE launch site number 1 (ELA1), located at the European Spaceport in French Guiana, the Guiana Space Centre - Centre Spatial Guyanais (CSG). The launch campaign and the flight will use the general facilities of the CSG already developed for ARIANE, the EPCU (Ensemble de Preparation des Charges Utiles, Payload Preparation Complex), the Ground Tracking Stations, will follow the Safety authorities requirements and will use the Logistics support. The Guiana Space Centre French Guiana's location, close to the equator, in an area outside the hurricane zone with the possibilities of launches in Northern to Eastern directions over the ocean ( to ), and regular air and sea connections were factors which led to the choice of Kourou for the ARIANE launch complex. Launching aera ELA1 ELA2 ELA3 Technical Center CSG - General description FIGURE 10 - EUROPE SPACEPORT The CSG, operational since 1968, is managed on behalf of the ESA by the Centre National d'etudes Spatiales (CNES). An agreement between the French government and ESA defines the rights and obligations of each party with regard to ESA's launch sites and associated facilities. Within the CSG perimeter, the following ESA facilities are namely available: ELA1, which was designed for launching ARIANE 1, 2, 3 and which was rebuilt for, the Payload Preparation Complex - Ensemble de Préparation des Charges Utiles (EPCU): with facilities made available to Users for the preparation of their spacecraft, from its arrival in Guiana up to the actual mounting of the payload on the launcher. December 2004 Page 13

14 Launch Complex FIGURE 11 ARIANE/ LAUNCH COMPLEX The EPCU consists of a number or geographically dispersed buildings: Buildings S1A and S1B are located in the CSG Technical Centre, and provide clean-room facilities for satellite preparation. Buildings S3A and S3B are assigned to satellite propellant filling operations and final integration, assembly of the satellites on the adapter, and satellite encapsulation into the nose-fairing. Building S3C is located close to S3A and S3B, and is used for monitoring and control of hazardous operations conducted in the latter. Owned by ESA, the EPCU is operated bay the CSG for the benefit of ARIANESPACE customers. Agreements between CNES, ESA and ARIANESPACE define conditions for utilisation by ARIANESPACE of ELA1 and EPCU. The preparation launch campaign also requires specific installations and support equipment that have to be created, including a gantry tower at the launch pad, fuel and other fluid supply lines, the Control Centre. December 2004 Page 14

15 For the Eastward launches, the CSG radar, telemetry and telecommand stations are completed by the four down-range stations located at Natal in Brazil, on Ascencion Island, near Libreville in Gabon, and near Pretoria in South Africa, in order to continuously receive data on the launcher's trajectory and behaviour in flight. 4.2 Sequence of flight events A typical flight sequence for reference mission is detailed below: TIME AFTER LIFT-OFF (s) 0 s s s 211 s 216 s 322 s 356 s 699 s s s s s EVENTS P80 FW Ignition and Lift-off P80 FW burnout, 1st stage separation, Z23 ignition Z23 burnout, 2nd stage separation, 1st coasting phase Z9 ignition Fairing jettisoning Z9 extinction 1st AVUM ignition (Perigee boost) 1st cut-off of AVUM, 2nd coasting phase (Perigee-Apogee) 2nd AVUM ignition (Apogee orbit circularisation) 2nd cut-off of AVUM, upper composite orientation Payload separation, 3rd AVUM ignition (AVUM de-orbiting) End of mission, burn, passivation TABLE 3 - TYPICAL CHRONOLOGY FOR REFERENCE MISSION FIGURE 12 - SEQUENCE OF FLIGHT EVENTS December 2004 Page 15
