Said to have only had one payload aboard during its 2018 launch, observers detected a secondary object separate from TJS-3 in orbit. The object was originally labeled by the United States Space Force as an apogee kick motor (AKM), a final-impulse motor often discarded by satellites entering their terminal geostationary orbit. [18]
A launch service provider is a type of company that uses launch vehicles and related services provided by a Launch Agency, including furnishing the launch vehicles, launch support, equipment and facilities, for the purpose of launching satellites into orbits or deep space. [1]
Any orbit (regardless of outcome): Flights which achieve at least one complete orbit even if the orbit differs from the targeted orbit. Target orbit (without damage to the payload) Status: Actual status of launcher (retired, development, active) Date of flight First: Year of first flight of first family member
Lists of orbital launch vehicles by payload capacity: Small-lift launch vehicle (up to 2,000 kg to Low Earth Orbit (LEO)) Medium-lift launch vehicle (from 2,000 to 20,000 kg to LEO) Heavy-lift launch vehicle (from 20,000 to 50,000 kg to LEO) Super heavy-lift launch vehicle (beyond 50,000 kg to LEO)
Page naming should follow the format [Year] in spaceflight, replacing "[year]" with the year that the list is documenting.(eg. 2024 in spaceflight) . In order to facilitate consistency throughout the timeline, the D MMMM (day-month) long date format should be used within articles, for example 28 October.
