BBC News reported yesterday that Pegasus, the first and only Ecuadorian satellite sent into orbit, collided with "a cloud of particles" left by an old Soviet rocket on May 23. But unlike Sputnik, which returned to Earth after 3 short months in orbit some have refused to come home, such as the US Vanguard 1 satellite which is the oldest satellite still orbiting in Earth's low orbit after its launch in 1958. "MSU's SSEL has the unique distinction of being the only university to fly a CubeSat on both of NASA's Educational Launch of Nanosatellite (ELaNa) missions," Klumpar said. But unlike deep space, there was not infinite room to maneuver. Due out in October 2013 this 'out of this world' film will star Sandra Bullock as the newbie astronaut embarking on her very first shuttle mission and George Clooney as the veteran accompanying her on his final space voyage before retirement. For those unfamiliar with Orbital Sciences (ORB), the company is a leader in space missions and satellite services. Named Krysaor set to launch this August. The twin of an MSU student-built satellite that was launched in the spring but failed to reach orbit because an anomaly with the rocket is scheduled to be launched Oct. The next major hurdle for the satellites will come later this spring when they separate in orbit. Unlike a satellite's orbital insertion, the budget had a fair amount of room to maneuver and a modest margin for estimation error. Pegasus launched from a Chinese spaceport on April 25, on a mission to take photos of space while playing Ecuador's national anthem on loop - a small project that demonstrated the nation's budding interest in space exploration. BRITE stands for "BRIght Target Explorer," because the targets in the sky for this mission are the most luminous stars in our galaxy. It is defined as the innermost circumplanetary orbit in which an exomoon will not undergo what is known as a runaway greenhouse effect. The poor bastard didn't even last a month. Once apart, they'll be the first student-developed mission in which satellites orbit and communicate with each other in real-time.
