 OFEQ-2, 1990-A-F
- A 174kg minisatellite launched on the 3rd April 1990 into a 209x1577km orbit inclined at
143.2 degrees on a Shavit launcher from Yavne, Israel. The mission carries IAI (Israel)
technology demonstration payloads in two-way communications and remote control of systems.
The main structure is octagonal with 16 solar panels, and measures 2.3m by 1.2m in
diameter. It carries redundant S-band transmitters and receivers at 2.5kbps via a single
antenna. The spacecraft is spin stabilised and carries a three axis rate gyro,
magnetometer and solar sun sensors. The thermal design is largely passive apart from
heaters on the NiCd batteries. The spacecraft re-entered on the 9th July 1990. It is
reported that all mission objectives were met.

- A multiple launch of an Tsyklon from Plesetsk Cosmodrome on the 8th August 1990 put
six spacecraft into a 1415km orbit inclined at 82.6 degrees, The spacecraft form part of
the military constellation for the Russian Federation Ministry of Defence (MO RF). The
spacecraft use the STRELA-3 bus, weigh 231kg each and are designed for a five year
lifetime by NPO Applied Mechanics (NPO Prikladnoi Mekhaniki of Krasnoyarsk, Russia). The
spacecraft will provide military services of data transfer and photo reconnaissance
in the
Locsyst communications system.
