То есть даже если предположить, что PlanetLabs'у удалось сделать кубсаты с САС 1 год (это вполне реально, такие примеры уже есть) - то все равно, для поддержания численности группировки им придется регулярно вбрасывать новые пачки спутников. Потому что "прошлогодних" уже не будет: сгорят.
А какая у них будет, интересно, энергетика радиолинии и соответственно пропускная способность радиоканала?

Preparations for next week's launch continue at the Horizontal Integration Facility (HIF) on Wallops Island, Virginia. Yesterday, Antares was lifted onto the Transporter/Erector/Launcher (TEL). The TEL acts as a support structure as Antares is transported on the approximately 1 mile route fr om the HIF to Pad 0A. At the pad, hydraulic erection actuators rotate the TEL and the rocket to a vertical position, wh ere the TEL functions as Antares' umbilical support structure.Click on Images & Videos for more.

Later today the Cygnus cargo spacecraft will be mated to the rocket. The majority of the cargo for the International Space Station is already loaded onto Cygnus. This week additional "late load" cargo will be installed in Cygnus, the hatch will be closed, and the cargo module will be pressurized prior to encapsulation in the 9.9 meter Antares payload fairing. Roll-out of Antares to the launch pad is currently scheduled for December 16.

Overnight, our operations team mated the Cygnus spacecraft to the Antares rocket that will launch it to the International Space Station (see photo below). Later today they will conduct "Flight Sim 2" which will simulate the complete launch sequence to ensure that the integrated Antares and Cygnus systems perform as designed. Post-test data analysis will follow immediately and will likely continue into tomorrow.
Next up is adding so called "late load" cargo into Cygnus which includes, among others: 33 cubesats that will be deployed from the space station at a later date; student experiments studying such areas as enzyme activity in microgravity, DNA mutation rate, cell regeneration and oil bubble formation; and even an experiment comparing differences in group behavior of ants living in microgravity conditions versus those living on Earth. Cameras will record the ants living on the space station and software will analyze their movement patterns and interaction rates. Students in K-12 will be able to observe the space station ants in near-real-time and conduct their own classroom experiments.

Стыковку Cygnus с МКС могут перенести из-за поломки насоса

Стыковка американского грузового корабля Cygnus ("Лебедь") с Международной космической станцией (МКС) может быть перенесена из-за поломки насоса в системе терморегуляции (охлаждения) станции, сообщил РИА Новости представитель НАСА в российском Центре управления полетами (ЦУП).

"До вчерашнего дня план был такой — Cygnus стартует к МКС 19 декабря по московскому времени (18 декабря по американскому) и 21 декабря (по Москве) стыкуется с МКС. Но из-за того, что в насосе системы терморегуляции застрял клапан, были обесточены некоторые системы, не имеющие первостепенного значения, и из-за этого стыковка может вовремя не состояться. Естественно, были включены запасные системы, все работает. Но могут возникнуть проблемы с выработкой электропитания, и сейчас идет оценка того, насколько возможна стыковка Cygnus с МКС (21 декабря)", — сказал собеседник агентства, добавив, что угрозы станции и экипажу из-за появившейся поломки нет.

По его словам, решение о возможном переносе стыковки американского грузового корабля с МКС пока не принято. "Сегодня вечером на совещании будет обсуждаться этот вопрос. Возможно, уже сегодня будет принято решение по стыковке Cygnus со станцией", — отметил представитель НАСА в российском ЦУПе.

Он также сообщил, что в дальнейшем может быть рассмотрен вопрос о том, нужно ли будет проводить внеплановый выход в открытый космос американским членам экипажа МКС для замены сломавшегося насоса системы терморегуляции.

В свою очередь, представитель российского ЦУПа сообщил РИА Новости, что на российском сегменте станции проблем нет, и ситуация, возникшая на американском сегменте МКС, никак не отразилась на работе российских космонавтов

Orbital's and Antares teams are continuing to make progress toward the launch of the company's first CRS mission known as Orb-1. Yesterday, following the mate of the Cygnus spacecraft, the team successfully completed Flight Simulation 2, during which the interaction between the Antares and Cygnus systems was verified to be operating as planned.
In the meantime, Orbital is awaiting word from NASA on whether there will be a schedule impact on the Orb-1 mission due to the cooling issue on the ISS that is now being investigated. We expect to receive direction from NASA on how to proceed no later than Monday, December 16.

Специалисты приняли предварительное решение о переносе запуска Cygnus
http://ria.ru/space/20131212/983835194.html

ЦитироватьМОСКВА, 12 дек — РИА Новости. Специалисты приняли предварительное решение о переносе запуска американского частного грузового корабля Cygnus ("Лебедь", лат.) к Международной космической станции из-за поломки насоса системы терморегуляции на американском сегменте МКС, сообщил РИА Новости представитель НАСА в российском Центре управления полетами (ЦУП), добавив, что окончательно решение будет принято в понедельник.

В настоящее время запуск корабля Cygnus к МКС запланирован на 19 декабря по московскому времени (18 декабря по американскому времени), стыковка "Лебедя" со станцией намечена на 21 декабря.

"Состоялось совещание с руководителем полетом российского и американского сегментов МКС. По итогам этого совещания было принято предварительное решение о переносе запуска корабля Cygnus к МКС. Окончательное решение о переносе или о том, чтобы оставить дату запуска той же, что была запланирована изначально, будет принята в понедельник, 16 декабря", — сказал собеседник агентства.

По его словам, других вопросов, в том числе о возможном внеплановом выходе американских астронавтов в открытый космос для замены сломавшегося насоса системы терморегуляции, на сегодняшнем совещании не обсуждалось.

Ранее представитель НАСА в российском Центре управления полетами (ЦУП) сообщил РИА Новости, что на американском сегменте Международной космической станции (МКС) возросло энергопотребление в связи с поломкой насоса системы терморегуляции, проблем с энергоснабжением на российском сегменте нет.

We are awaiting word from NASA about how the coolant issue on the space station may affect this mission. We currently plan to load the final cargo onto Cygnus tomorrow (December 14). If we get the go-ahead from NASA to do so, we will continue to target December 18 for launch and a December 21 rendezvous and berthing with the station. If cargo is loaded on Sunday the 15th, the first available launch attempt would be on the 19th, leading to a December 22 rendezvous and berthing with the station. At the latest, NASA is expected to provide direction on Monday the 16th as to how the ISS issue will affect our launch and rendezvous schedule.
In the meantime, the mission team plans to continue to add "late load" cargo into Cygnus today, perform tests and prepare for close-outs to the rocket over the weekend if the final cargo is loaded.

Запуск пока сдвинули на 20 декабря в 06:19 ЛМВ, стыковку - на 22 декабря.

http://www.nasa.gov/content/cygnus-launch-slips-to-dec-19

NASA and Orbital Sciences Corp. Saturday moved the targeted launch date of the Orbital-1 resupply mission to the International Space Station to no earlier than Thursday, Dec. 19 to enable engineers to continue their analysis of data involving a suspect Flow Control Valve in a pump module on the starboard truss of the station that malfunctioned on Wednesday. Orbital's Antares rocket and the Cygnus commercial cargo vehicle are now scheduled to launch from Pad 0A at the Wallops Flight Facility, Va. no earlier than Dec. 19 at 9:19 p.m. EST. NASA TV coverage of launch will begin at 8:45 p.m. EST.

The delay will allow Orbital's engineering team to load late scientific cargo into the Cygnus craft on Sunday to protect several days of launch opportunities through the end of next week. Under current planning, the Antares rocket with Cygnus would rollout to the launch pad at Wallops in the early morning hours on Tuesday, Dec. 17. A launch on Dec. 19 would result in Cygnus arriving at the space station for a grapple and berthing to the Earth-facing port of the Harmony module on Sunday, Dec. 22.

The launch is still dependent on NASA engineers resolving a problem with the station's pump module flow control valve that experienced a problem Wednesday in properly positioning itself so that ammonia coolant can flow properly through the cooling lines of the station's truss while keeping heat-rejecting equipment at the correct temperature.

At NASA's direction, Orbital's Cygnus operations team deferred loading the mission's final cargo into the spacecraft earlier today, postponing that operation by a day. Orbital will await NASA's direction for the final cargo load tomorrow while the cooling loop issue aboard the ISS is being investigated. If we get the go-ahead to load the final, time sensitive cargo on Sunday, roll out to the launch pad would be on Tuesday, December 17, launch on December 19, and rendezvous and berthing with the ISS on December 22. Please check back for additional updates over the next several days.

The Cygnus team has been authorized to load the final cargo in the Pressurized Cargo Module (PCM ) today. This cargo is about 95kg of time-sensitive cargo consisting primarily of science payloads. We expect to finish loading the cargo later this afternoon, followed by about twelve hours of Cygnus closeouts including a purge of the air in the PCM, the final closing of the hatch, and leak checks. Installation of the Antares payload fairing is scheduled to occur on Monday.
Loading the final cargo today allows us to continue to target a launch on December 19. However, NASA is still assessing the thermal control issue on the space station, and a final determination to launch has not yet been made. If NASA gives us the go-ahead to proceed, rollout of Antares to the pad will take place early Tuesday morning.

This morning, the Antares crew rolled the rocket out to launch pad 0A at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at NASA's Wallops Flight Facility. (Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nasahqphoto/). Our operations team expects that they will erect the rocket to a vertical position by late morning. In parallel to the roll-out operation at Wallops, NASA is continuing to work on the cooling loop issue aboard the International Space Station. We do not yet have a "go/no go" decision for the launch on the 19th. The roll-out operation preserves that option for NASA in the event they are able to develop a plan that will allow the Cygnus spacecraft to rendezvous and berth with the ISS on December 22. Other launch and rendezvous/berthing date scenarios are also being considered. We expect NASA to provide additional guidance on the launch schedule either later today or tomorrow. Stand by for further updates.

Cygnus Arrival at ISS :    TBD

The launch of an Antares rocket carrying Orbital's Cygnus cargo logistics spacecraft orginally scheduled to lift-off from Pad-0A at the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at Wallops Island, Virginia in December 2013, has been delayed until no earlier than January 13, 2014. Antares will boost Cygnus to an inital target orbit, from which Cygnus will use its on-board thrusters to raise its orbit to rendezvous and berth with the International Space Station (ISS). For this mission Cygnus will be carrying approximately 1465 kg (3,230 lbs.) of cargo to the ISS for NASA.
The Orb-1 mission is the first of eight commercial cargo resupply missions to the ISS under the NASA Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) contract, under which Orbital is slated to deliver up to 20,000 kg of supplies to the station.

 Antares Mission Description
The two-stage Antares space launch vehicle utilizes a liquid-fueled first stage powered by two Aerojet Rocketdyne AJ26 engines and a solid motor ATK CASTOR 30B upper stage to boost Cygnus into orbit. The powered launch sequence will last about ten minutes from liftoff through the separation of Cygnus from the launch vehicle.

 Cygnus Mission Description
After separation from Antares, Cygnus will deploy its solar arrays and undergo initial check-out. The spacecraft will conduct a series of thruster burns to raise its orbit to bring it within 4 km of the ISS prior to receiving authorization to autonomously rendezvous with the station. When the vehicle approaches to within 12 meters, the astronauts will use the station's robotic arm to grapple Cygnus and berth it to the Harmony node of the station. Cygnus is planned to remain berthed at the ISS for 42 days during which time the station crew will load Cygnus with materials for disposal. At the end of the mission Cygnus will depart the station and reenter the Earth's atmosphere.
