American manufacturer of spacecraft. Swales Aerospace, USA.

Country: USA. Spacecraft: EO-1, Themis.

2000 November 21 - . Launch Site: Vandenberg. Launch Complex: Vandenberg SLC2W. LV Family: Thor. Launch Vehicle: Delta 7320-10.

EO-1 - . Mass: 529 kg (1,166 lb). Nation: USA. Agency: NASA Greenbelt. Manufacturer: Swales. Class: Earth. Type: Earth resources satellite. Spacecraft: EO-1. USAF Sat Cat: 26619 . COSPAR: 2000-075A. Apogee: 703 km (436 mi). Perigee: 702 km (436 mi). Inclination: 98.20 deg. Period: 98.80 min.
First use of a Delta dual payload attach fitting. The Earth Orbiter 1 satellite was part of NASA's New Millenium Program. Complementing the New Millenium's Deep Space series, EO-1 was a NASA-Goddard satellite which demonstrated technology for the next generation Landsat. It flew in formation with Landsat-7 for comparison purposes, using a hydrazine thruster to adjust its orbit. The satellite used a MIDEX-derived bus built by Swales Aerospace; dry mass was 566 kg. The main instruments were ALI (Advanced Land Imager) and the Hyperion 220-band imaging spectrometer. At 1835 GMT the Delta second stage completed its first burn and entered a 185 x 713 km x 98.2 deg transfer orbit. At 1920 GMT the orbit was circularised and EO-1 separated at 1925 GMT into a 682 x 729 km x 98.2 deg orbit.

2007 February 17 - . 23:01 GMT - . Launch Site: Cape Canaveral. Launch Complex: Cape Canaveral LC17B. Launch Pad: SLC17B. LV Family: Thor. Launch Vehicle: Delta 7925-10C.

Themis P1 - . Payload: Themis A. Mass: 125 kg (275 lb). Nation: USA. Agency: NASA. Manufacturer: Swales. Class: Earth. Type: Magnetosphere satellite. Spacecraft: Themis. USAF Sat Cat: 30580 . COSPAR: 2007-004A. Apogee: 87,254 km (54,217 mi). Perigee: 1,003 km (623 mi). Inclination: 14.10 deg. Period: 1,882.70 min.
The five simultaneously-launched Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) satellites were the fifth medium-class mission under NASA's Explorer Program. They formed part of a combined ground- and space- based system designed to determine what physical process in near-Earth space initiate the violent eruptions of the aurora that occur during substorms in the Earth's magnetosphere.
Themis P2 - . Payload: Themis B. Mass: 125 kg (275 lb). Nation: USA. Agency: NASA. Manufacturer: Swales. Class: Earth. Type: Magnetosphere satellite. Spacecraft: Themis. USAF Sat Cat: 30581 . COSPAR: 2007-004B. Apogee: 87,114 km (54,130 mi). Perigee: 1,004 km (623 mi). Inclination: 14.10 deg. Period: 1,878.80 min.
Themis P3 - . Payload: Themis C. Mass: 125 kg (275 lb). Nation: USA. Agency: NASA. Manufacturer: Swales. Class: Earth. Type: Magnetosphere satellite. Spacecraft: Themis. USAF Sat Cat: 30582 . COSPAR: 2007-004C. Apogee: 87,792 km (54,551 mi). Perigee: 736 km (457 mi). Inclination: 14.20 deg. Period: 1,890.30 min.
Themis P4 - . Mass: 125 kg (275 lb). Nation: USA. Agency: NASA. Manufacturer: Swales. Class: Earth. Type: Magnetosphere satellite. Spacecraft: Themis. USAF Sat Cat: 30797 . COSPAR: 2007-004D. Apogee: 67,517 km (41,953 mi). Perigee: 4,048 km (2,515 mi). Inclination: 4.60 deg. Period: 1,435.90 min.
