2024 - Launches to Orbit and Beyond

Listed are launches, irrespective of outcome, that were irretrievably committed to flight towards orbit or intended to accelerate the payload to escape velocity. The following notes should help with understanding the launch lists.

Launch times are in UTC and are either from the launching agency or estimated by 'walking back' along the ground track to the launch site. Most orbit data and decay information comes from SpaceTrack. The Space-Track data occasionally contains inconsistencies (eg - incorrect re-entry dates or early sets of elements allocated to the wrong object) that need to be corrected from other sources.

To fill the gaps where elements are not formally published, usually because they have a classification of "Secret", some orbits are based on amateur observations. Such data is published near-daily by Mike McCants. Occasionally, orbits are estimated by myself from public data.

Space-Track sometimes has insufficient information to allocate names to objects in its catalogue. In these cases, names are derived from public information.

Apogee and perigee are measured against a spherical Earth with a radius of 6378.145 km, assumed to be situated at the focus of the orbital ellipse. The value for the orbital period is the Anomalistic Period, or time to complete one circuit of the ellipse. It is not the same as the time taken to complete one circuit of the Earth. Care should be exercised when comparing Orbital Focus data with other published orbits because they may have been derived using a different model.

Users can go straight to specific launches by pointing to the page URL followed by the three digit launch number, eg - https://www.OrbitalFocus/Diaries/Launches/Launches.php?year=2024#001

You can keep up to date with changes or mission events by following Orbital Focus at Blue Sky.

Commercial spacecraft from US Company Astrobotic, launched under NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services Initiative. Carries multiple instruments from NASA and several sets of human ashes/memorial items intended for the lunar surface. Separated from Centaur stage at 08:08 UTC. Lunar landing expected February 23 but a problem with Peregrine's propulsion system prevented it from achieving a landing and left it orbiting in the Earth-Moon system. Changes to the orbit, partly due to outgassing from the thruster system, pushed perigee down into the Earth's atmosphere and caused it to re-enter.

Separated from launch vehicle at 06:53 UTC. Entered orbit around the Moon February 21. An engine firing February 22 at 23:11 UTC led to landing on the Moon at 23:23 UTC. One of the landing legs contacted a tall boulder, causing the vehicle to tip over. Communication was still possible but the signal reaching Earth was weak due to misalignment of the vehicle's aerial.

Retro-fire at 02:10 UTC was followed one minute later by simulated separation of VEP 4. It led to destructive re-entry above the southern Indian Ocean at around 02:40 UTC with VEP 4 loosely attached. Note - Space-Track continued to issue orbital data for this object until Feb 21 but then backdated its re-entry to Feb 18, one day after the actual event.

The system works in conjunction with DRO-L in low earth orbit (58927, 2024-024L). Reached operational orbit June 14 and then released DRO B shortly after.

The first orbit shown is during the period DRO A & B were joined together and preparing to use a thruster to reach operational orbit after the YZ-1S stage of the launch vehicle failed to perform properly left them in an unexpectedly-low initial orbit. The second orbit was issued by Space-Track and is a representation of how the vehicle appears to move as seen from Earth.

Third test mission of Boeing-built spacecraft aimed at docking with the ISS and carrying crew of two NASA astronauts - Barry Wilmore (commander) and Sunita Williams (pilot). Docked with the forward-facing port of the Harmony module June 6 at 17:34 UTC. Numerous issues with the vehicle led to it being too risky to carry a crew back to Earth. Wilmore and Williams were re-assigned to SpaceX Dragon Crew 9. Undocked September 6 at 22:04 UTC. Retro-fire September 7 at 03:17 UTC led to landing on White Sands Missile Range at 04:01:35 UTC.

A dummy satellite mass and a number of re-entry experiments and sensors remain attached. Two payloads intended to separate after retro-fire and return data during re-entry also remain attached.

All satellites were expected to be injected initially into similar orbits at about 300 km altitude. A problem with the Falcon 9 meant that all twenty reached a lower than expected orbit. Eighteen of them re-entered over the next few days and Space-Track managed to catalogue ony two.
