Mission History
Below is a listing of previous Astrotech Space Operations missions.
ICO F-2 will provide wireless messaging, data transfer, telephone and Internet connectivity using small hand-held devices that can be used worldwide.
GeoLITE is an advanced technology demonstration satellite with a laser communications experiment and an operational UHF communications mission.
XM-1 will join another XM satellite in orbit and the two satellites will blanket the entire lower 48 states, working in tandem to relay XM Satellite Radio's programming to special receiving radios installed in subscribers' cars and trucks and portable units that you can take anywhere.
NASA's robotic spacecraft will use spectrometers and electronic imagers to detect evidence of past or present water and volcanic activity on Mars. It is hoped that the data Odyssey obtains will help answer the question of whether life has ever existed on Mars.
The XM-2 satellite is designed to provide state-of-the-art digital audio radio programming directly to cars, homes and portable radios coast to coast.
GPS IIR-7 will join 28 other operational GPS satellites now on orbit. This satellite will improve global coverage and increase the overall performance of the GPS constellation.
The Earth Observing-1 Mission (EO-1) satellite is part of NASA's New Millennium Program (NMP). SAC-C is part of the AM Constellation together with NASA's Landsat 7, TERRA and EO-1.
GPS - IIR6 (USA-154) is an American navigation satellite which forms part of the Global Positioning System.
THURAYA 1 is a turnkey satellite system that will expand mobile telephone service availability to approximately 1.8 billion people in 100 countries.
PANAMSAT 9 is designed to deliver video distribution, data relay and Internet services throughout the Americas, the Caribbean and western Europe.
ECHOSTAR - VI provides broadcast and communications services to Europe using wide-band feeds.
EUTELSAT - W4 provides communications services to Russia and Africa. It carries thirty one transponders, and has an expected on-orbit lifespan of 12 years.
The GOES I-M satellites are the primary element of U.S. weather monitoring and forecast operations and are a key component of NOAA's National Weather Service operations and modernization program.
The ICO-F1 satellite was to be the developmental testbed for the company's global system, preparing the foundation for the subsequent launch of the rest of ICO's constellation of 10 operational satellites.
The Globalstar global mobile communications network offers global, digital real time voice, data and fax via a constellation of 48 minisatellites.
HISPASAT - 1C provides communications services to Europe and the Americas. It is expected to remain in service until at least 2015.
Korea's KOMPSAT program's objective is the development of a national space segment in Earth observation along with an efficient infrastructure and ground segment to provide valuable services to remote sensing users in various fields of applications.
Terra (formerly EOS AM-1) is the flagship satellite of NASA's Earth observing systems.
UHF Follow-on satellite provides UHF and EHF communications, and Global Broadcast Service television for the US Navy.
DIRECTV - 1R will be used to deliver new programming services, expand channel capacity, and strengthen in-orbit redundancy.
