Orbital elements based on amateur observations
Satellite observers' discussion group
| 2022 - 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.
Launch times are in UTC and are 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 but it 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 using visual and radio techniques. Such data is published near-daily by Mike McCants, and the source observations along with observers' derived orbits can often be found in the web-based Seesat-L discussion group. Occasionally, early orbit data are published by satellite owners. In extreme cases, orbits are estimated from public data.
Apogee and perigee are measured against a spherical Earth situated at the focus of the orbital ellipse and with a radius of 6378.145 km. Care should be exercised when comparing with other published orbits because they may have been derived using a different model.

| Orbital Flight Test - second test mission for new vehicle to be used for ferrying crew and cargo to/from ISS. No crew carried on this mission but it included a cargo, and an instrumented anthropomorphic dummy in one of the seats. Repeat of mission profile for OFT 1 in 2019, necessitated by failure to meet the goals of the earlier mission. Docked with forward-facing port of the Unity module May 21, 00:38 UTC. Undocked May 25, 18:36 UTC. Retro-fire at 23:05 UTC led to a parachute-assisted landing on the White Sands Missile Range at 22:49 UTC. |

Satellite carrier from US company Momentus Systems, carrying a number of hosted payloads, Cubesats and PocketQubes to be released in the weeks after launch. Planned lifetime for the hosted payloads is six months. Experienced several problems after departing the launch vehicle the major of which was the solar array failing to function at full capacity, inhibiting the ability to release the satellites and provide power to the hosted payloads.
Satellites include:
SelfieSat - 2U Cubesat - from NTNU of Norway. Equipped with external LCD-display to show pictures sent in by the public. A camera mounted on an arm will photograph the screen with the Earth in the background - not released.
Fossasat 2E 7… Fossasat 2E 13 - seven 2p PocketQube developed by Spain's Fossa Systems - communications satellite that uses low power RF to provide internet connectivity,
Fossasat-2E 11 & 12 were released from Vigoride May 28,
Fossasat-2E 13 was released 2022 Jul 18 together with Veery Hatchling,
