Re: KelComm-1 Satellite Launch Successful
Today morning a successful attempt at establishing contact with Norse telecommunication satellite KelComm-1 took place, Interlandian Space Agency reports. The satellite was long considered to have become defunct, when the Civil War broke out in Normark and its space centers were taken over by the Cerulean partisans.
At 9 o'clock the satellite was noticed by astronomers of Stipornik Space Centre in Seria, Virtua SAR. The scientists estimated, that the vessel is on an orbit apomicron of which is differing from the target Molniya orbit's by almost four thousand kilometres.
Working together with Norse scientists, the Space Centre carried out an experimental broadcast, trying a few commands of declassified protocol. 'The vessel responded correctly,' says the spokesman of the Centre. 'We know that the satellite still has enough fuel to change its path to the Molniya orbit without sacrificing its ability to be deorbited in a controllable way. It just needs to be pushed a bit in the moment the paths intersect, so it can follow the desired way.'
The change of the orbit will be performed during the next occurence of conditions enabling such an operation, that is, on the 20:54 GMT. Should the scientists succeed, KelComm network may become available for testing broadcasts as soon as tomorrow.
