Rest in Peace, Chris Kraft, NASA's original Flight Director and mission operations architect. It is on these days of dynamic #Cygnus operations when the @NASA team is doing amazing things that I appreciate and honor your legacy the most.

ISS Daily Summary Report – 8/06/2019

NG-11 Cygnus Departure:

Cygnus departed the ISS today at 11:16 AM CT, following a 109 day berthed duration. Destructive re-entry is planned for December 11, 2019. Following hatch closure yesterday, the crew installed the SlingShot brackets and deployers over the hatch area of the vehicle. SlingShot is a small satellite deployment system that fits inside the Cygnus Passive Common Berthing Mechanism (PCBM). This is the second SlingShot mission and will deploy 4 satellites, but can accommodate up to 18 satellites:

[/li]
• Quantum Radar: Student-operated ground stations utilize a collimated laser telescope to illuminate and perform tracking of the satellite.
  
• National Authority for Remote Sensing and Space Sciences (NARSS): This is an Egyptian Space Agency civilian satellite. The main objective is scientific research for civilian purposes, including imaging, reception of temperature values of different subsystems, magnetic field measurement, and power supply values during different orbital positions.
  
• Radio Frequency Tag Satellite (RFTSat): This Northwest Nazarene University CubeSat demonstrates the application of radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting and backscatter communication to the problem of distributed sensing in space.
  
• ORCA: Demonstrates radio frequency communication technology for communication between spacecraft and from space to ground.
  

In addition to the deployed satellites, one payload will remain attached to SlingShot (UbiquityLink-2) which has the objective of demonstrating radio frequency communication technology for communication between spacecraft and from space to ground.

Following its departure from ISS, the cargo ship S.S. Roger Chaffee has raised its orbit to 466 x 485 km. Expecting deploys by @SpaceflightInc @SEOPSLLC from the Slingshot system. (Hope they tweet the deploy times!)

...successful deployment reported of cubesats  RTFSat, MakerSat-1, NARSScube-2, and ORCA from the Slingshot deployer on the Chaffee. No orbit data available yet for any of these.

Interesting presentation at the last day of #smallsat about a NASA/JSC cubesat called Seeker; will deploy from Cygnus next month to test technologies for future inspector spacecraft for ISS and other crewed spacecraft.

Wrapping up @SmallSat with more exciting news! Yesterday morning (Aug 7) at 13:00 UTC two #AeroCubes were deployed from the #NanoRacks #CubeSat deployer on the #Cygnus spacecraft. Big congrats @AerospaceCorp, and thanks always to our friends at @northropgrumman!

... or, since the two Aerocube 10s were deployed from the Nanoracks NRCSD-E on Cygnus on Aug 7 at 1300 UTC, maybe the two new tracked objects are those ones.

Ride up on a Dragon, ride out on a swan

A student-built mission called RFTSat launched aboard a @SpaceX Dragon in July and deployed yesterday after the Cygnus cargo spacecraft left the @Space_Station.

RFTSat is a tech demo in NASA's Undergraduate Student Instrument Project

Student-built CubeSat SlingShots Into Space



The student-built CubeSat—Radio Frequency Tag Satellite (RFTSat)— was deployed in space on August 7 using a one of a kind deployment dispenser called SlingShot. This image shows the Cygnus cargo spacecraft departing the space station with SlingShot payloads in preparation for deployment activities.

RFTSat was designed by students and faculty at Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho, and was selected through NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) to fly as an auxiliary payload on SpaceX's 18th commercial cargo resupply services mission to the International Space Station—which launched July 25, 2019 fr om Cape Canaveral, Florida.

RFTSat will demonstrate a low-cost, energy-efficient way to use radio frequency (RF) tags to communicate with a space vehicle using backscatter, or signal reflection to harvest energy. NASA selected it because of the potential future applications made possible using these very small, inexpensive tags that require no power source—no batteries, wires, or solar panels. The CubeSat was built using commercial-off-the-shelf components and repurposes radio frequency identification (RFID) tag technology already in use today.

Astronauts aboard the station loaded the CubeSat into the SlingShot deployer and then onto the Cygnus cargo vehicle before it undocked from the station. SlingShot ejected RFTSat into orbit 500 KM (310 miles) above Earth, wh ere it is expected to coast for about one year.

The new Hypergiant Slingshot dispenser was developed by SEOPS, LLC, and this mission marks the first time it has ever been used.

RFTSat was sponsored by NASA's Undergraduate Student Instrumentation Project (USIP) and mission management was conducted at Goddard Space Flight Center's Wallops Flight Facility, Wallops Island, Virginia.

These leftover catalog numbers 44415-18 are now 2019-022E to 22H, presumed to be the four Slingshot-deployed cubesats RTFSat, QR-3, NARSSCube-2 and ORCA.  They are in 470 x 485 km x 51.6 deg orbits.

Objects 44485 and 44484 (2019-22D and 22C) have been identified as Aerospace Corp's AEROCUBE 10A and 10B, apparently now nicknamed JimSat and DougSat. The cubesats were ejected from the Chaffee cargo ship on Aug 7
