MEASUREMENT: THE VITAL LINK

TAPE_NUMBER: EF99/1283 IN_TIME: 22:09:59 LENGTH: 02:14 SOURCES: NASA/INTELSAT RESTRICTIONS: FEED: VARIOUS (THE ABOVE TIME-CODE IS TIME-OF-DAY) SCRIPT: English/Nat Stargazers from around the world are preparing for celestial fireworks. Every year, between November 16th and 18th, the night sky lights up with shooting stars known as the Leonida. Every 33 years, the meteor storm is more dramatic and scientists predict this should be a good year. Professional and backyard astronomers are preparing for what could be the flashiest meteor shower in decades. The Leonids are expected to peak in the coming days, providing stargazers with a shower of shooting stars. The meteor shower is made up of hail, dust and icy rubble thrown off by the Tempel-Tuttle comet as it races around the sun. When the Earth's orbit crosses its path, the cosmic pellets burn up in the atmosphere, creating volleys of shooting stars. SOUNDBITE: (English) "The Leonid shower is, basically, a bunch of little particles that were ejected from a comet, which are hitting the Earth's upper atmosphere as we pass across their path." SUPER CAPTION: Scott Sandford, NASA Scientist, Ames Research Centre Weather permitting, views of the Leonids should be best in North Africa, Europe and the Middle East in the early hours of Thursday. Views in the United States should be less spectacular. But meteors are notoriously fickle. Astronomers say that people might have to stay up all night to be rewarded with celestial fireworks across much of the Northern Hemisphere. This year's display may be the best of the next 100 years because of the position of Earth, Jupiter and the Tempel-Tuttle comet. Astronomers from six nations will study the spectacular trail of "shooting stars" aboard a pair of U-S jets loaded with scientific instruments. The two research aircraft, operated by the Air Force and NASA, will fly at 30-thousand feet above clouds and urban smog. Instruments will study the meteors' velocity, chemistry and behavior as they slam into Earth's atmosphere from the vacuum of space. Astronomers are especially interested in whether meteors might have seeded Earth with life-supporting organic compounds in the planet's early years. SOUNDBITE: (English) "Comets are thought to be repositories of the primordial stuff from which the rest of the solar system was made. We'd really love to know what the composition of that material was - particularly the organics, in the case of the astrobiology programme; to know when the solar system formed and when planets were formed, what kinds of materials fell onto the Earth from outside, in particular, materials that may have played some role in the origin of life." SUPER CAPTION: Scott Sandford, NASA Scientist, Ames Research Centre The Air Force and telecommunication companies, such as Intelsat, are concerned that meteors could damage hundreds of telecommunication and security satellites. Intelsat, which operates 17 geostationary satellites, is taking steps to safeguard satellite communications. SOUNDBITE: (English) "What we will do is we will rotate the solar arrays about 10 degrees so we can minimize the surface areas of contact, therefore reducing the risk to our satellites." SUPER CAPTION: Ramu Potarazu, Vice President of Operations, Intelsat Headquarters Shooting stars can appear anywhere. But astronomers say they are most likely to show up from the direction of the constellation Leo, which the Leonids are named after.

Rockets crossing the sky STORYLINE The Ariane-5 rocket was successfully launched into space from French Guiana on Friday and put into orbit two telecommunications satellites. The rocket was launched from Europe's space base in Kourou at 7:02 p.m. (2202 GMT). First, the rocket released into a preliminary orbit Intelsat 11, a 2.5 tonne satellite for U.S.-based international operator Intelsat. The satellite will provide cover to Latin America. Minutes later, the rocket released into space Optus D2 for the Australian satellite operator Optus, the officials said. The Optus will provide cover to Australia and New Zealand.

From the Hughes Aircraft Company comes this 1980s education film, Satellites of Hughes, that gives viewers a brief look at the development and launching of commercial geostationary satellites manufactured by the Hughes Aircraft Company. The film opens with shots of astronauts in a space shuttle and the launching of a commercial satellite from space. At the Hughes Company’s High Bay-area satellite assembly facility, several astronauts look at the SBS and Anik-C satellites (01:10). The two satellites are launched into space from Hughes’ HS-376 satellite bus (02:00). Footage shows the shuttle’s sun shield opening and the spinning satellite is launched. Animation is used to show the satellite’s motor firing up and getting it into orbit; the same is shown (animation) for the Anik-C. They are the first two commercial satellites launched. A Syncom satellite is worked on in a Hughes Lab (05:00); it is launched in 1963. Next, the film shows the headquarters of the newly created Intelsat Group (05:55). The “Early Bird,” or Intelsat I satellite, is launched. Footage broadcasted by this satellite includes footage of astronauts driving a rover on the moon (06:44). Researchers work in a laboratory on the geostationary satellites. Viewers see the Intelsat IV satellite (07:55), which is used for global communications and television broadcasting. A Hughes engineer works on another satellite (08:40). The film gives a quick overview of the Westar program and the Westar satellites. Next, viewers see Comstar satellites waiting inside a Hughes facility (09:20). A Marisat series satellite sits in the facility (10:00); it is one of the first maritime telecommunications satellites. Footage shows the HS-376 being developed (10:26); it is a spin-stabilized communications satellite bus. The crew of NASA’s Shuttle No. 7 (STS-7), with the first female astronaut Sally K. Ride, visits the Hughes satellite facility and observes the geostationary satellites (11:30). A weather satellite is developed for Japan’s weather agency (12:30), and it is maneuvered inside the Hughes facility. Men work on other weather satellites. The film shows shots of earth taken from the weather satellites. A painting and an animation show viewers what Intelsat VI looks like (14:06), the biggest satellite ever built. The film concludes with footage of satellite dishes, space shuttles taking off, and satellites being launched from a space shuttle. <p><p>SBS 1 was a geostationary communications satellite designed and manufactured by Hughes (now Boeing) on the HS-376 platform. It was ordered by Satellite Business Systems, which later sold it to Hughes Communications. It had a Ku band payload and operated on the 149°W longitude.<p><p>Intelsat Corporation—formerly INTEL-SAT, INTELSAT, Intelsat—is a communications satellite services provider. Originally formed as International Telecommunications Satellite Organization (ITSO, or INTELSAT), it was—from 1964 to 2001—an intergovernmental consortium owning and managing a constellation of communications satellites providing international broadcast services. As of March 2011, Intelsat operates a fleet of 52 communications satellites, which is one of the world's largest fleet of commercial satellites. They claim to serve around 1,500 customers and employ a staff of approximately 1,100 people.<p><p>The Boeing 376 (sometimes referred to as the BSS-376, and previously as the HS-376) is a communications satellite bus introduced in 1978 by Hughes Space and Communications Company. It was a spin-stabilized bus that the manufacturer claims was the first standardized platform.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!

Lifting off from the ELA-2 launch complex at the Spaceport in French Guyana, the Ariane 4 released NSS-6 after approximately 21 minutes of flight. It was the second Arianespace launch for New Skies Satellites - a company that was spun off from Intelsat in November 1988. The successful launch was a relief for the space operator which recently appointed a board of inquiry to investigate what caused Ariane Flight 157 to crash on December 11. Arianespace in co-operation with the European Space Agency and the French CNES space agency will conduct the investigation.

Various of northern lights (Aurora Borealis) seen in the sky over the town of Birtavarre on 22 January 2012 STORYLINE The skies over northern Europe have been illuminated with an intense display of the northern lights after a week of massive solar storms showered the Earth with radiation. Video shot last weekend in Norway showed the eye-catching effect of the Aurora Borealis in the skies above Birtavarre. The lights are a familiar sight for Scandinavians, but even experienced stargazers were stunned by the intensity of the aurora borealis that swept across their night's sky on Tuesday, after the biggest solar storm in more than six years. An aurora appears when a magnetic solar wind slams into the Earth's magnetic field, exciting electrons of oxygen and nitrogen. Even before particles from the solar storm reached the Earth on Tuesday, a different aurora on Monday night was dancing across the sky as far south as Ireland and England, where people rarely get a chance to catch the stunning light show.
