| 2019 - 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, and the source observations can often be found in the web-based Seesat-L discussion group. Occasionally, orbits are estimated by myself from public data.
Space-Track occasionally fails to allocate names to objects in its catalogue. In these cases, the names are derived from public information.
Apogee and perigee are measured against a spherical Earth with a radius of 6378.145 km assumedto 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.

3U Cubesat built as a demonstrator for a “multifunctional” membrane panel about 1.5m square and deployed from a 1m mast . Thin-film devices attached throughout the membrane will demonstrate designs for low-mass array aerials and solar arrays. The structure acted as an air brake resulting in relatively-rapid orbit decay and a relatively-short orbit life compared with other satellites from the launch. Also carries an amateur radio payload. |

1.5U Cubesat in the Prometheus programme, launched as one of a pair. Prometheus Block 2 satellites act as a host for separately-produced payloads. This is one of two similar satellites on the same launch, carrying an unspecified payload for the US Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to demonstrate satellites working together. May actually be a 3U Cubesat with the hosted SOCOM equipment carried in a 1.5U compartment. |

Undocked, carrying its original crew, Aug 26 at 03:35 UTC and re-docked under manual control with the Poisk module at 03:59 UTC in order to allow Soyuz MS-14 to use Zvezda after its aborted docking with Poisk. Undocked 2020 Feb 6, 08:50 UTC carrying Skortsov, Parmatiano and Christina Koch (NASA). Retro-fire at 08:18 OTC led to landing shortly before 09:13 UTC approx 150 km SE of Dzhezkazgan in Kazakhstan. |

Visit to ISS - carried no crew in a test flight with the Soyuz-2 1a launch vehicle. Precise launch time 06:38:31 UTC. Scheduled automatic docking Aug 24 at 05:32 UT with the Pirs module of ISS was called off when a fault was detected in the Kurs rendezvous system aboard Pirs during the approach. Soyuz MS-14 stood off from the ISS while Aleksandr Skvortsov, Luca Parmitano and Andrew Morgan boarded Soyuz MS-13 and relocated the craft from Zvezda to Pirs using manual control. Soyuz MS-14 docked automatically with the rear port of Zvezda Aug 27 at 03:12 UTC. Undocked 2019 Sep 7 at 18:14 UTC. Retro-fire at 20:37 UTC led to landing in Kazakhstan at 21:32 UTC. |

Carrying supplies and equipment to ISS. Precise launch time 16:05:05 UTC. Separated from launch vehicle at 16:20:07 UTC. Captured with ISS RMS Sep 28 at 11:13 UTC and docked with the downward-facing port of the ISS Harmony module at 15:08 UTC. Postponed from Sep 10 after a fire broke out on the launch pad. Undocked from Harmony Nov 1 at 1345 UTC by ISS RMS under ground control. Released into independent orbit at 17:21 UTC. Final retro-fire Nov 3 at 01:41 led to destructive re-entry at about 02:09 UTC. Any surviving fragments impacted the southern Pacific Ocean some 4500 km east of New Zealand at around 02:30 UTC. |

Comsat to join Eutelsat 5 West A and eventually take over its functions. Coverage is aimed at France, Italy and Algeria. Satellite includes GEO 3, an EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) to improve the precision of ESA's Galileo navigation system for users needing very accurate position information. Precise launch time 10:17:56 UTC. Released from the launch vehicle Oct 10 at 01:53 UTC. Oct 24, Eutelsat revealed an unspecified problem with one of the solar arrays (probably not having deployed fully, if at all). 2020 Jan 17, Eutelsat confirmed the south solar array did not deploy and the satellite is working at 45% capacity. Expected location - 5° west. |

Northrop Grumman spacecraft - launched to rendezvous and attach itself to the Intelsat 901 GEO comsat (28624/2001-024A) then take over its pointing and station-keeping functions in order to extend its on-orbit life by five years. May then move to another satellite. Precise launch time 10:17:56 UTC. Released from the launch vehicle Oct 10 at 02:11 UTC into super-synchronous orbit then pushed towards Intelsat rendezvous by onboard electric thruster system, arriving 2020 Jan 31. Intelsat 901 had departed its station at 27°.5 east 2019 Dec 11 and moved to GEO graveyard orbit.

Northrop Grumman vehicle carrying supplies to ISS under CRS-2 contract with NASA. Precise launch time 13:59:47 UTC at the beginning of approximately five minute window. Separated from launch vehicle 14:07:36 UTC. Arrived ISS Nov 4 and captured by ISS RMS at 09:10 UTC under control of crew. Docked with downward-facing port of Unity module using RMS under control of ground-based engineers at 11:21 UTC. Undocked 2020 Jan 31 then released from RMS at 13:36 UTC the same day. Whilst in post-undocking free flight, Cygnus released a number of Cubesats and hosted a payload for the US company, Lynk, for experimentation in using space based-mobile phone cells. Planned re-entry 2020 Mar 2 was delayed in order to extend the Lynk tests. Retro fire Mar 17 around 23:00 UTC led to re-entry above the southern Pacific Ocean around 23:40 UTC. |

First test mission of Boeing-built spacecraft to be used for ferrying crew and cargo to/from ISS, no crew carried on this mission. On separation from launch vehicle, Starliner received sufficient thrust to enter very low orbit but software problem prevented major thruster firing and caused it to use up propellant on unnecessary attitude control, leaving insufficient for ISS rendezvous. Retro-fire Dec 22 at 12:01 UTC led to touchdown 12:58 UTC at White Sands Space Harbor, New Mexico, USA. |
