Atlas 5-541 MSL CC41 HCO ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1)Failure during inaugural test flight with dummy 6 metric ton Demosat payload and two LEO microsats. CBC strap-on boosters shut down 8 sec early. The core CBC shut down 9 sec early. Initial second stage burn ran long to compensate, using more propellant than planned to reach LEO. Second burn achieved correct geosynchronous transfer orbit. Third burn ended early due to propellant depletion. Microsats failed to orbit - deployed into suborbital trajectory. Demosat orbit 19,029 x 36,408 km at 13.48 degree inclination versus planned 36,342 km circular at 10 degrees (perigee short by 17,313 km). (2)Centaur shut down about four seconds early during its second burn, leaving the twin NOSS payloads in an unannounced low transfer orbit. Two weeks after the launch, U.S. Air Force officials reported that liquid hydrogen had leaked through a valve that failed to close properly during the coast phase, leading to a propellant shortage during the second burn. Amateur observers tracked the payloads, in 842 x 1186 km x 63.35 deg orbits, lower than the expected 1,000 x 1,200 km x 63.4 deg. The satellites reportedly would be able to move themselves to operational orbits despite the shortfall. *Site Code: CC = Cape Canaveral, FL, USA CC37B = Space Launch Complex 37B: Delta 4 CC41 = Space Launch Complex 41: Atlas 5 VA = Vandenberg AFB, CA, USA VA3E = Space Launch Complex 3E: Atlas 5 VA6 = Space Launch Complex 6: Delta 4 **Orbit Code: EEO/M = Molynia (12-hr) Elliptical Earth Orbit FTO = Failed to Orbit FSO = Failed Suborbital GTO = Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit GTO+ = Supersynchronous or Elevated Perigee Transfer Orbit GTO- = Subsynchronous Transfer Orbit GEO = Geosynchronous Orbit HCO = Heliocentric (solar) Orbit HTO = High Earth Transfer Orbit LEO = Low Earth Orbit LEO/S = Sun Synchronous Low Earth Orbit LEO/P = Polar Low Earth Orbit MEO = Medium Earth Orbit MTO = Medium Earth Transfer Orbit SUB = Suborbital
