Delta Rocket Launches NASA Satellite. |
   | November 22, 2000 Delta Rocket Launches NASA Satellite Ariane 4 Launches Canadian Satellite Cassini Watches Clouds Dance Across Jupiter DELTA ROCKET LAUNCHES NASA SATELLITE After a one day delay, a Delta 2 rocket successfully placed NASA's new Earth Observing-1 satellite into a polar orbit, along with two other satellites. The $193 million Earth Observing-1 is the successor to the Landsat satellites, and was placed into an orbit exactly one minute behind an older Landsat satellite. This will allow NASA scientists to test the improvements in optics of this new generation of ground imaging satellite Original Source: http://eo1.gsfc.nasa.gov/miscPages/home.html Internet Coverage: http://www.floridatoday.com/news/local/stories/2000/nov/loc112200a.htm http://spaceflightnow.com/delta/d282/ Similar Stories: Related Sites: http://www.universe-galaxies-stars.com/earthobservation.html Related Books: http://www.universe-galaxies-stars.com/satellites.html ARIANE 4 LAUNCHES CANADIAN SATELLITE An Ariane 44L rocket successfully launched its largest single payload yesterday at 11:56pm GMT, when it placed a Canadian Telesat Anik F1 satellite into geostationary transfer orbit.

The first movie is of the stormy Great Red Spot, while the second shows bands around the planet. The pictures were taken over several rotations of the planet and at different distances, and then stitched together on computer.
