Inmarsat will propose a new Launch Schedule that Inmarsat is ready and able to
maintain. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the written request for a
Launch Schedule change, Sea Launch will either inform Inmarsat that a Launch
Opportunity is available as requested or will propose an alternative Launch
Schedule as close as possible to the Launch Schedule requested by Inmarsat. If
an alternative Launch Schedule is proposed by Sea Launch, Inmarsat will within
thirty (30) days respond by either accepting the alternative Launch Schedule
proposed by Sea Launch or by proposing another Launch Schedule. This process
shall continue until the Parties come to agreement on the Launch Schedule.


 


7.1.2        If after
departure of either vessel from Home Port, Inmarsat requests a postponement
that results in a delay of the Launch which requires the vessels to return to
Home Port, Inmarsat shall bear the actual additional costs, not to exceed ****
per such Inmarsat requested postponement which occurs after the departure of
either vessel. The actual additional costs shall be reasonable, auditable and
reviewed with Inmarsat prior to submission of invoice.


 


7.1.3        In the
event, that a single postponement or cumulative postponements by Inmarsat
exceed eighteen (18) months for a Launch, the exclusive right and remedy of Sea
Launch shall be either renegotiation of the Contract, including price and
terms, or termination in accordance with Paragraph 14.2 of Article 14,
Termination.


 


7.2           Postponements
requested by Sea Launch


 


7.2.1        Sea Launch
may request a change to the Launch Schedule in the event that a Launch
Opportunity does not exist within the current Launch Schedule. Sea Launch will
provide written notice of any desired change as soon as Sea Launch knows that a
Launch Opportunity will not be available. Sea Launch will propose a new Launch
Schedule at the time of the request for a change. Within thirty (30) days of
the receipt of the written request for a Launch Schedule change, Inmarsat will
either accept the alternative Launch Schedule proposed by Sea Launch or will
propose another Launch Schedule.


 


12

















 


7.2.2        Postponements
by Sea Launch under this Article shall not exceed a total of nine (9) months
for any Launch. In the event that a single postponement or cumulative
postponements exceed nine (9) months for a Launch, the exclusive right and
remedy of Inmarsat shall be either renegotiation of the Contract, including
price and terms, or termination in accordance with Paragraph 14.1 of Article
14, Termination.


 


7.3           The length
of a postponement under this Article is measured from the first day of the then
current Launch Schedule to the first day of the Launch Schedule proposed in
conjunction with the initial request for a change. Days during which an excusable
delay exists as defined in Article 8, Excusable Delays, and which affect the
Launch Schedule of the postponed launch, are not included in determining the
length of a postponement under this Article.


 


ARTICLE 8 — EXCUSABLE DELAYS


 


8.1           Neither
Sea Launch nor Inmarsat shall be liable to the other in the event of a delay in
the performance of its obligation or commitments, and the date on which those
obligations are to be fulfilled shall be extended for a period of time equal to
that caused by the delay, when the delay is considered to be an excusable
delay, that is due to causes beyond the control of Sea Launch or Inmarsat as
the case may be, and not due to their fault or negligence in reasonably
anticipating and avoiding such delays. 
Sea Launch and Inmarsat shall use its reasonable efforts to reduce the
schedule impacts of such delays. Such excusable delays also include the
excusable delays of subcontractors when the item(s) or service(s) provided by
the subcontractor cannot be reasonably obtained from other sources.  Such excusable delays shall include, but not
be limited to: acts of God; fires; interruptions of essential services such as
electricity, natural gas, fuels and water; adverse weather or launch safety
conditions that do not permit Launch, any condition which jeopardizes the
safety of the employees of Sea Launch or Inmarsat or their subcontractors; acts
(including delay or failure to act) of any governmental authority (de jure or
de facto, but not export controls except as specified in Article 11, Permits
and Approvals), embargoes, strikes or labor stoppages (except those that affect
only the workforce of Sea Launch or its sub-contractors); wars; riots;
revolutions, terrorism, and hijacking


 


8.2           The
inability of Sea Launch to perform due to any export control restrictions or
delays caused by or arising from assignment of this Contract in whole or in
part by Inmarsat pursuant to Article 19, Assignment shall be an excusable delay
event.

ARTICLE 9 — OBLIGATIONS
BEFORE AND AFTER LAUNCH


 


9.1           Sea Launch
shall provide to Inmarsat and Inmarsat shall provide to Sea Launch the data,
hardware and services identified in the Statement of Work according to the
schedules provided therein.  The data,
hardware and services will be received in a condition suitable for their
intended use as defined by the requirements of the Statement of Work.  In the event that the data, hardware or
services are not received according to their schedule or requirements, and the
non-availability will affect the Launch Schedule, the following procedure shall
apply:


 


(i)        The Party
receiving or failing to receive the data, hardware or services shall promptly
notify the other Party including a statement of the discrepancy and recommended
solutions.  The Party receiving the
notification shall provide written direction to the other Party on how to
proceed, considering the recommendations of the other Party, within seven (7)
days of the receipt of notice.


 


(ii)       The Party
receiving or failing to receive the data, hardware or services shall use its
best efforts to continue its obligations under the Contract without affecting
the Launch Schedule.  If, however, this
is not possible despite the best efforts of the receiving Party, and the Launch
Schedule is affected as a result of the failure of one Party to deliver the
data, hardware or services in accordance with the schedule or requirements of
the Statement of Work, then a Launch postponement shall be declared by the
receiving Party and such delay shall be considered a delay under the
appropriate provisions of Article 7, Launch Postponements by the Party
providing or failing to provide the data, hardware or services.


 


9.2           The
Parties recognize that Sea Launch has no ability to alter the performance or in
any way correct any defect in the Launch Vehicle after Launch.  An agreement by Inmarsat to conduct the
Launch, given at the final launch readiness review, shall constitute a waiver
by Inmarsat of any claim that the Launch Vehicle or Launch Services do not meet
the requirements of the Statement of Work, or that the Launch Vehicle or Launch
Services are not otherwise suitable for their intended purpose.  Except for Postlaunch Services, the sole
liability or obligation of Sea Launch for performance subsequent to Launch is
to provide a replacement launch in accordance with Article 13, Replacement
Launch.

ARTICLE 11 — PERMITS AND
APPROVALS


 


11.1         Each Party is responsible for obtaining in a timely
manner, all necessary licenses, permits, approvals, and authorizations to
perform its respective obligations under the Contract.  Each Party agrees to timely assist and
support the other Party to the extent practicable, in obtaining such licenses,
permits, approvals, and authorizations. 
Any failure to obtain or maintain such licenses, permits, approvals, and
authorizations shall be treated as follows:


 


(i)            If
such failure is attributable to lack of due diligence by Sea Launch, Article 14
..1.1 shall apply;


 


(ii)           If each Party has
affirmatively acted with due diligence, and its failure to obtain or maintain
the necessary governmental authorizations is attributable to causes beyond the
Party’s reasonable control and is not the result of any act or omission on the
part of such Party, Article 8.1 shall apply.


 


ARTICLE
12 — TITLE TO PROPERTY


 


12.1         Inmarsat understands and agrees that at no time does
Inmarsat obtain title to or any ownership of or any other legal or equitable

additional sums necessary to reflect inflation occurring after January 1,
1989).


 


15.2.2.3   Sea Launch makes no representation nor provides any
warranty that payment of claims by the United States Government will be made
pursuant to the Commercial Space Launch Act or otherwise.

The
sole obligation of Sea Launch is to make a good faith best effort to obtain
such payment from the United States Government.


 


15.2.2      Reciprocal Waiver and Release of Claims (Licensed

Third Parties.


 


15.3         Activities other than Licensed Launch Activities


 


15.3.1      Third Party Liability (other than Licensed Launch
Activities) Each Party agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other
Party from and against any and all claims of a Third Party (other than claims
by employees, officers or directors of a Party or of its Related Third Parties)
for personal injury or property damage to the extent that it is caused by the
indemnifying Party or its Related Third Parties while performing activities
related to this Contract other than Licensed Launch Activities.  Each Party shall maintain insurance with
limits sufficient to cover the aforementioned indemnification obligation and
ensure that its insurer(s) waive all rights of subrogation against the other
Party.


 


15.3.2      Reciprocal Waiver and Release of Claims (other than
Licensed Launch Activities)


 


15.3.2.1   Each Party agrees to a reciprocal waiver of claims
pursuant to which each Party agrees to be responsible for and to absorb the
financial and any other consequences of any property damage or loss it sustains
or any personal injury to, death of, or property damage or loss sustained by
its own employees arising out of or relating to any activities carried out
under this Contract other than Licensed Launch Activities. Neither Party will
make any claim or institute any arbitration or judicial proceedings against the
other Party or its Related Third Parties for such damage, loss, injury or
death. This waiver will not be applicable to the extent that the damage, loss,
injury or death sustained by a Party or its employees is caused by the
intentional misconduct of the other Party or its Related Third Parties.


 


22

















 


15.3.2.2   Each Party further agrees to require its Related Third
Parties (other than employees, officers or directors) to be responsible for and
to make no claims against the other Party or its Related Third Parties for any
property damage or loss they sustained or for any personal injury to, death of,
or property damage or loss sustained by their own employees arising our of or
relating to any activities carried out under this Contract other than Licensed
Launch Activities.  The waiver required
by this paragraph 15.3.2.2 will not be applicable to the extent that the
damage, loss, injury or death sustained by a Related Third Party is caused by
the intentional misconduct of the other Party or its Related Third Parties.


 


15.3.2.3   If any of a Party’s Related Third Parties makes a
claim or institutes any arbitration or judicial proceeding (other than claims
for gross negligence or intentional misconduct which are not subject to this
waiver) against the other Party or its Related Third Parties for damage, loss,
injury or death as identified in paragraph .15.3.2.2, the first Party shall
indemnify, hold harmless and defend the other Party and its Related Third
Parties from and against any liability on account of such damage, loss, injury
or death, and shall pay all expenses and satisfy all awards and judgments which
may be incurred by or rendered against said indemnitee(s).  The Party seeking such indemnification shall
comply with the provisions of Article 15.6.


 


15.4         Spacecraft


 


Inmarsat
assumes the risk of any actual or constructive loss of or damage to the
Spacecraft prior to, during, and after Launch, including any loss or damage
resulting from the non-availability of or inability to use the Spacecraft
following Launch.  Inmarsat shall
indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Sea Launch and its Related Third Parties
against all claims and actions based in whole or in part on loss or damage to
the Spacecraft, including loss or damage resulting from the non-availability of
or inability to use the Spacecraft. 
This assumption of risk and indemnification shall not apply (i) to the
extent that the loss or damage is caused by the intentional misconduct of Sea
Launch or its Related third Parties. 
Inmarsat shall ensure that its insurers waive all rights of subrogation

ARTICLE
16 — PROPRIETARY DATA


 


16.1         The Parties recognize that technical information may
be disclosed by one Party to the other Party in the course of performance under
the Contract and that the disclosing Party may desire to protect such
information against unrestricted use or disclosure to others.  To provide protection for such information,
each Party agrees to respect such information and, to the extent it includes
proprietary data, to handle such information as provided for in this Article.


 


16.2         For the purpose of this Contract, the term
“proprietary data” means each Party’s proprietary, secret, or confidential
information, data, processes, and physical materials, including information
originated by, or available only from the disclosing Party and information
originating with a Third Party or Related Third Party with respect to which the
disclosing Party has limited disclosure rights, and which the disclosing Party
desires to protect against unrestricted disclosure to others, provided that
such information, data, processes, and physical materials are marked
“proprietary data” or with an equivalent legend or, if disclosed orally, is
identified as proprietary at the time of disclosure and then summarized in a
written document marked as “proprietary data” that is supplied to the receiving
Party within ten (10) days of initial disclosure.


 


24

















 


16.3         Except as permitted herein and in paragraph 16.4
below, a Party receiving proprietary data shall take all reasonable precautions
to prevent publication or disclosure of proprietary data to others, and shall
use such data only for the purpose of performance under the Contract.  Except as permitted herein and in paragraph
16.4 below, any other use of such proprietary data shall be made only upon
prior written consent of the disclosing Party. 
Each Party agrees to protect the other Party’s proprietary data with the
same degree of care as it protects its own proprietary data (but in no event
less than a reasonable degree of care), and to restrict disclosures of such
proprietary data to those persons, entities (i.e. insurance underwriters) and
subcontractors having a need to know the data provided any such person, entity
or subcontractor must first agree in writing to treat any such proprietary data
as confidential.


 


16.4         The aforementioned restrictions on the use and
disclosure of proprietary data shall not apply if the proprietary data:


 


(i)            Is in the public domain at the time of receipt or
comes into public domain thereafter through no act of the receiving Party that
is inconsistent with the aforementioned restrictions;


 


(ii)           Known to the receiving Party prior to disclosure by
the disclosing Party;


 


(iii)          Disclosed with the prior written approval of the
disclosing Party;


 


(iv)          Independently developed by the receiving Party; or


 


(v)           Lawfully disclosed to the receiving Party by a Third
Party under conditions permitting such disclosure;


 


(vi)          Is required by applicable law, regulation or
governmental order to be disclosed (but in such case only to the extent so
required to be disclosed).


 


16.5         Upon termination or upon completion of performance
under the Contract, and upon the request of one Party, the other Party shall
return all proprietary data (including any copies thereof) received from that
Party, or provide written certification that such proprietary data has been
destroyed, except that either Party may retain a legal file copy.


 


16.6         Neither Party assumes any liability to the other Party
for damages arising from the use of or reliance upon any information disclosed
pursuant to this Article 16, except as provided elsewhere herein.


 


16.7         Information exchanged under this Contract may be
subject to U.S. and U.K. export control laws and regulations, such as the U.S.
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or the Export Administration
Regulation (EAR). The disclosing Party shall clearly mark any such information
exchanged with an appropriate legend indicating the relevant restrictions or
applicable laws and regulations.  The
receiving Party agrees that information subject to such export control laws and
regulations shall not be disclosed or transferred to a Third Party or Related
Third


 


25

















 


Party
without first obtaining written approval from the disclosing party and
complying with all applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations. Such
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.


 


16.8         Information exchanged under this Contract may be
subject to Russian and/or Ukrainian export control laws and regulations. The
disclosing Party shall clearly mark any such information exchanged with an
appropriate legend indicating the relevant restrictions or applicable laws and
regulations. The receiving Party agrees that information subject to such export
control laws and regulations shall not be disclosed or transferred to a Third
Party or a Related Third Party without first obtaining written approval from
the disclosing Party and complying with all applicable export control laws and
regulations. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.


 


ARTICLE 17 — RIGHTS TO INVENTIONS AND DATA


 


Sea
Launch and Inmarsat agree that neither Party shall by entry into the Contract
or by performance of the Contract, acquire any rights to or under the other
Party’s patents, proprietary data, or other intellectual property or technical
information, unless the grant of any such right is expressly provided for in a
separate written agreement duly executed by the granting Party.


 


ARTICLE
18 — TECHNICAL CHANGES


 


18.1         Inmarsat may, by a written notice, request technical
(e.g., Launch Vehicle interface, environmental requirements) changes within the
general scope of this Contract.  If any
such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required
for the performance of any part of the work under this Contract, an equitable
adjustment, to be negotiated in good faith between the Parties, shall be made
in the price, delivery schedule, Launch Date, or other terms affected by the
requested change, and the Contract shall be modified in writing accordingly.  Any claim by Sea Launch for an adjustment
must be made in writing within thirty (30) days of the receipt of any such
notice.  Nothing in this Article 18
shall excuse Sea Launch from proceeding without delay to perform this Contract
as so changed.


 


18.2         Sea Launch shall have the right to recommend changes
within the general scope of this Contract. 
Sea Launch shall submit any such change to Inmarsat in writing and
Inmarsat shall accept or reject such change in its sole discretion.  Inmarsat shall respond to any such change
proposed by Sea Launch promptly but in no event later than forty-five (45) days
after the date on which Sea Launch submitted the proposed change.  Sea Launch shall not proceed with any change
under this Paragraph until an amendment to this Contract is executed by both
Parties authorizing the change and making the corresponding adjustments to the
work and/or the terms of this Contract necessitated by the change.


 


26

















 


18.3         Launch Service(s) postponements by Inmarsat or Sea
Launch shall be resolved in accordance with Article 7, Launch Postponements, of
this Contract.


 


18.4         In the event Sea Launch changes the launch vehicle
interfaces or environmental requirements subsequent to execution of this
Contract, Sea Launch shall indemnify Inmarsat for its reasonable costs
associated with the design, test and schedule impact required to be made on any
of the Inmarsat-4 spacecraft to accommodate such Sea Launch changes.


 


ARTICLE
19 — ASSIGNMENT


 


19.1         The Parties agree not to assign their respective
rights or obligations under the Contract without the prior written consent of
the other Party.


 


Notwithstanding
the above, Inmarsat shall have the right to assign this Contract to any company
within the Inmarsat Group, e.g., subsidiaries of any tier of the holding
Company. Inmarsat shall have the right to novate this Contract for Launch
Services within the Inmarsat Group, subject to the consent of Sea Launch which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.


 


ARTICLE 20 — PUBLIC RELEASE OF INFORMATION


 


20.1         Except as required by law or regulation, no news
release, public announcement, or advertising material concerned with this
Contract shall be issued by either Party without prior written consent of the
other Party.  Such consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. All releases shall be coordinated between both Parties.


 


20.2         Subject to redaction of proprietary terms and
information, including but not limited to pricing and payment provisions,
Inmarsat shall be entitled to disclose parts of the Contract to the extent
necessary to comply with any listing authorities’ requirements, should Inmarsat
seek a listing. Subject to prior execution of nondisclosure agreements,
Inmarsat shall be entitled to disclose all or parts of the Contract to private
equity or debt financing partners.


 


ARTICLE 21 — DISPUTE SETTLEMENT


 


The
Parties shall endeavour to reach an amicable settlement of any dispute or
controversy resulting from, or arising in connection with, the performance of
this Contract.  In the event a
settlement cannot be reached in a timely manner by the Sea Launch and Inmarsat
Mission Managers, the dispute or controversy shall be referred to the
respective Presidents of Sea Launch and Inmarsat, who shall use their best
efforts to reach a settlement acceptable to both Parties.  If such a settlement cannot be reached the
dispute or controversy shall be submitted to arbitration under the London Court
of Arbitration, London England, by three arbitrators appointed pursuant to the
governing rules.  The


 


27

















 


arbitration
shall be conducted in English.  The
arbitration award shall be final and binding, and the execution thereof may be
entered in any court having competent jurisdiction.


 


ARTICLE 22 — APPLICABLE LAW

matter is addressed in the Contract, shall be governed by the laws of England
excluding its choice of law rules.


 


ARTICLE
23 — SEVERABILITY


 


In
the event any of the provisions of the Contract shall, for any reason
whatsoever, be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions
shall not be affected.


 


ARTICLE
24 — WAIVERS


 


No
waiver of any of the provisions of the Contract shall be binding on either
Party unless evidenced by a written notice signed by the Party to be
bound.  Failure of either Party to
insist upon performance of any of the terms or conditions herein or to exercise
any right or privilege shall not constitute a waiver.  A waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision of this
Contract does not constitute a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or
any other provision, nor shall it constitute a waiver of the provision itself.


 


ARTICLE 25 — CONTRACT MODIFICATIONS


 


The
Contract shall be modified only upon mutual consent and such modification shall
be made in writing and shall be signed by both Parties.


 


ARTICLE
26 — ENTIRE AGREEMENT


 


The
Contractual documents referred to in Article 2, Contractual Documents, comprise
the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter
of the Contract and shall supersede all prior and contemporaneous discussions

shall be bound by any conditions, warranties, definitions, statements, or documents
previous to the Contract unless the Contract makes express reference thereto.

A-7

















 


2.             LAUNCH VEHICLE


 


Sea
Launch shall supply all the LV hardware, software and consumables necessary to
provide the Launch Service.  This shall
include the design, manufacture, and qualification of all standard and mission-unique
hardware and software defined herein (Paragraph 2.1).


 


2.1          LAUNCH VEHICLE HARDWARE


 


Sea
Launch shall provide a 6000 Kg performance capable Zenit-3SL Launch Vehicle,
which consists of the Zenit-2S booster, the Block DM-SL upper stage, and
Payload Accommodations (PLA).  The PLA
consists of the spacecraft adapter (SCA), payload structure, interface skirt,
standard 4-meter payload fairing, flight avionics and instrumentation.


 


Sea
Launch will allocate hardware to the Inmarsat missions based on the existing
manifest within 2 months of the signing of the Launch Service Agreement.  Sea Launch shall provide a top-level
manufacturing schedule with major milestones including:


•      Block DM-SL manufacturing completion, integrated system testing, and
acceptance


•      Zenit-2S manufacturing completion, integrated system testing, and
acceptance


•      Payload Accommodation (fairing, interface skirt) assembly completion,
mission unique installations and testing, and acceptance


•      Delivery schedules for the Block DM-SL and Zenit-2S to Home Port


•      Delivery of the PLA to Home Port;


•      Delivery of mission unique flight tasks to Home Port


 


The
schedules will be updated based on completions of quarterly reviews with Sea
Launch subcontractors.  Sea Launch will
invite Inmarsat representatives to participate (subject to Technical Assistance
Agreements with our subcontractors) in the Hardware Acceptance Reviews at the
factories.  Sea Launch shall present a
summary called the Customer Hardware Acceptance Reviews to Inmarsat at Home
Port at approximately L-60 days.


 


Once
launch vehicle hardware is allocated to the Inmarsat mission, such hardware
shall not be re-allocated without Inmarsat’s prior written permission.


 


2.2          LAUNCH SYSTEM PERFORMANCE


 


2.2.1       Launch Vehicle Performance


 


The
launch vehicle shall provide an optimized geosynchronous transfer orbit to
maximize spacecraft on-orbit lifetime.


 


2.2.2       Mission Optimization


 


Sea
Launch shall optimize, within the constraints of the LV, the mission design
consistent with Paragraphs 2.2.1 above. 
The orbital parameters shall be optimized for the final design mass
(defined in Table 7-1, Item 3) and operational characteristics of the SC
(defined in Table 7-1,


 


A-8

















 


Items
4 and 36).  Performance curves of the
Launch Vehicle shall be provided to Inmarsat to support this optimization.


 


For
each month for the 12 consecutive months, Sea Launch will design a launch
vehicle ascent trajectory that meets the customer’s orbital requirements. The
Zenit-2S portion of flight (first two stages) will at a maximum have two
trajectories, one for a northern launch azimuth and one for a southern launch
azimuth.  The Block DM-SL portion of
flight (third stage) will be unique for each month in order to satifsy the
argument of perigee requirement.


 


Vehicle
flight task development will begin at L-5 months.  Depending on the results of prior analyses, work will begin on
one or two Zenit-2S flight tasks plus three or four Block DM-SL flight tasks.  These flight tasks will cover the launch
slot plus subsequent months in order to ensure that all flight tasks will be
ready in the case of a launch delay.  As
the launch slot narrows or shifts, work on flight tasks that no longer apply
will be terminated, and possibly work on new flight tasks will begin.  Such modifications will be coordinated with
the customer.


 


The
maximum number of mission designs will be 12. The number of Block DM-SL flight
tasks is anticipated to be smaller, although that number could also be 12 if
delays in launch occurred right before the SC is supposed to arrive at Home
Port. Only 1 or 2 Zenit-2S flight tasks would be required. If the launch were
to slide outside the contractual launch period and the contract were extended,
Sea Launch will continue to produce additional mission designs and flight tasks
as necessary to protect the launch date.


 


2.2.2        Sea Launch will adopt a Block DM-SL two-burn injection strategy.  The Zenit-3SL lift-off shall be governed by
the requirement to achieve an inertial Right Ascension of the Ascending Node
(RAAN), which will be selected by Inmarsat.


 


It
shall be possible to vary the timing of the second Block DM-SL burn in order to
achieve a transfer orbit apse-line at a specified orientation to the Earth-Sun
line, in order to satisfy all satellite-related constraints.  This means that for launch throughout the
year, the argument of perigee of the transfer orbit can be in the range of 0
degree to 360 degrees.


 


In
order to achieve optimum lifetime conditions for the satellite for launch
throughout the year, Sea Launch shall allow for at least 12 different start
times for the second Block DM-SL burn.


 


The
integrated launch vehicle shall be capable of the performance into transfer
orbit indicated in the table below:

Inmarsat-4 program
main technical issues


 


You will find enclosed a summary
of the main technical topics for the INMARSAT-4 program, to be addressed during
the working meeting scheduled on the 11th and 12th of February.


 


Basically,
all requirements indicated in the document “INMARSAT 4/Sea Launch interface
requirement” reference INM4.SP.00002.S.MMS issue 2 revision 2 dated Feb. 2002
are still applicable.


 


The
main changes or updates are described in the following chapters.


 


The chapters concerning the
launch operations requirements will be updated later during further discussions
concerning launch campaign, most of the INTELSAT-X requirements may be
applicable (TBC by ASTRIUM).


 


1 INMARSAT-4
anticipated waivers to SL user’s guide


 


1.1   Acoustic environment:


 


The preliminary acoustic test plan that is planned for INMARSAT-4 is
described on figure 1.


 


Only a minor deviation of 0.1 db is requested in the 250 Hz octave band
Vs User’s guide requirements.


 


This should be acceptable since Sea Launch has already technically
approved a larger waiver in these frequency bands (See Boeing fax reference
JWE-02-016 dated 07 march 2002).


 


Since margins are large Vs measured flight limit levels, Sea Launch is
requested to confirm that the acoustic flight limit levels that will be
indicated in the ICD will be lower or equal to the Inmarsat flight limit levels
(acceptance) indicated on figure 1. In particular no additional margin will be
requested regarding fill factor effect or local acoustic protection removal
effect (very local area, that may be limited to the TMA thrusters).


 


1.2   Shock environment:


 


The
shock environment specified by Sea Launch when using the 1194VS low shock
separation system is described on figure 2.


 


The
Eurostar 3000 platforms have been qualified Vs the environment described on
Figure 3. Whatever the flight events, the maximum flight level shock at the
spacecraft separation plane shall not exceed that shown on Figure2. This
figures applies at a level of 12.5 cm above the separation plane, on the
satellite side. It is to be noted that this spectrum represents loads imparted
by clampband separation (i.e. mainly driven by radial shock inputs).


 


A
minimum margin of 3 dB has been considered for equipment qualification on top
of the environment generated by this shock environment.


 


Summary
of the methodology used for Eurostar 3000 qualification to shocks:


 


A
clampband release has been performed on the Eurostar 3000 STM. The separation
system used for this test was a classical 1194 SAAB separation system (about 30
kN band tension) equivalent to the Sea Launch standard SCA 1194 spacecraft
adaptor.


 


The
induced shock environment has been measured at most equipment locations.


 


The
qualification specifications for the equipment and subsystems have been derived
from the above measurements, using a minimum margin of 3 dB for qualification.


 


1

















 


It
is considered that this approach is conservative Vs the needs for a flight on
Sea Launch for the following reasons:


 


•      The standard SCA 1194 separation system has
been used for qualification that should cover the shock levels induced by the
low shock separation system used for INMARSAT with the SCA 1194VS.


 


•      The shock attenuation into the flight models
should be higher for spacecraft flight models than for the STM due to the
presence of electrical harness, heat pipes and real equipment hardware. It
should generate more damping than the blank panels (no heat pipes nor
electrical harnesses) equipped with mass dummies that were mounted on the STM.


 


The shock qualification is thus basically achieved on ground at
subsystem level. The separation shocks tests that will be performed on the
INMARSAT flight models at system level will be used to confirm that the shock
attenuation is equal or lower than the STM and as an acceptance at system
level.


 


This should be basically the same waiver that was requested for
Intelsat-X (that was using the standard SCA1194 adaptor).


 


Sea Launch is requested to confirm that this approach is acceptable and
that the qualification to shock for launching on Sea Launch is acceptable even
the User’s guide shock specification shown on Figure 1 is not demonstrated.


 


Sea Launch is also requested to provide the qualification status of the
SCA1194VS adaptor as far as the measured shock levels induced by the low shock
separation system.


 


2. Main
technical topics and S/C requirements


 


2.1 S/C mass characteristics


 


The Centre of
gravity
coordinates are referenced in the S/C coordinate system, the origin being the
geometrical centre of the separation plane.

For information the mass of 6025 kg corresponds to the full chemical
tanks configuration.


 


The +/- 50 kg tolerance value on the S/C mass corresponds to
uncertainties on the dry mass typical at this stage of the program.

The above characteristics will be updated in the coming weeks but are
close and conservative w.r.t. the upcoming values, and are good bases for the
preliminary analyses.


 


2.2 Orbital parameters at separation


 


The elements of the transfer orbit at injection shall be as follows
based on a separated mass of 6066 kg.


 


Any lighter mass of the SC shall be used to improve the orbital
parameters in order to minimise the Delta V required on the SC.

The argument of perigee will be optimised to achieve the INMARSAT
mission requirements. Sea Launch is requested to provide the performance losses
associated to the argument of perigee variation (in case of one or two burns
strategy).


 


The argument of perigee value will be associated with the launch window
for all days of the years in the range indicated above.


 


2.3 Separation mode and attitude pointing at separation


 


Separation at a spin rate of 2.5o/s (+/- 0.6o/s) about the satellite Z
axis. The transverse rates shall be not greater than 0.6 o/s at 3o.


 


The spacecraft attitude shall be such that the satellite Z-axis is
normal to the satellite-sun line and in the orbit plane. The spin axis pointing
error shall be less than 2.5o.


 


2.4 Umbilical connectors


 


The pin allocation for both umbilical connectors is described in Annex
1.


 


The references of 61 pins umbilical connectors to be procured at
Deutsch by Sea Launch on the LV side are the following:


 


•      “025 8210 61 ARIANE” on -Y SC side


•      “025 8214 61 ARIANE” on +Y SC side

2.5 Thermal constraints


 


The
thermal limitations are described in the IRD refered above.


 


Main
constraints are:


 


SC
LVA ring temperature has to remain above +5oC (LV uncertainties and margins
included)


 


Batteries
temperature must be limited to +25oC at the highest. In order to protect
batteries from overshoot the charge will be stop at 22oC (take into account
chemical phenomenon in the cells and thermal inertia).


 


The
3o overshoot on batteries temperature has been verified during charging tests
on INMARSAT batteries.


 


The
thermal analysis must thus demonstrate batteries temperature below 22oC since
overshoot cannot be simulated).


 


The
SC thermal model is available at ASTRIUM in a format acceptable by Sea Launch
(THERMICA, accordingly to J. Ellinthorpe).


 


Dedicated
ventilation is needed for battery charging onto the launcher up to a period as
close as possible from the launch (D-1?). The description of the access point
onto the SC as far as ventilation requirement has been provided to sea Launch
last early 2002 and is recalled on Figure4. We need one ventilation pipe per
battery, the other ventilation hole is used to vent the air directly into the
clean room or fairing cavity (no pipe is needed for outlet). Access to the four
holes in the batteries MLI through the fairing is needed since we need to close
the four ventilation holes prior flight.


 


2.6 Spacecraft CLA model


 


The
final Spacecraft CLA model to be used for LV analyses will be available week 6.


 


This
model is the final FEM model to be used for sine tests preparation.


 


The
Format (NASTRAN output 4) and size is acceptable by Sea Launch (accordingly to
J. Ellinthorpe).


 


2.7 SC CAD model


 


The
SC CAD model to be used for fairing accommodation should be available by mid
February (TBC by ASTRIUM).


 


The
IGES format is acceptable by Sea Launch (accordingly to J. Ellinthorpe).


 


The
most critical area (TMA and deployable reflector) should be slightly les
critical than in the preliminary model received by Sea Launch (TBC by ASTRIUM).


 


The
volume below the separation plane specific to INMARSAT is described on Figure5.


 


2.8 S/C radio compatibility


 


S/C
susceptibility to radiations is described on Figure 6.


 


S/Cradiated
emissions are described on figure 7.


 


4

















 


2.9 ICD preparation


 


The
INMARSAT-4 / Sea Launch ICD has to be prepared based on the IRD referenced
above, including the updates enclosed in this document.


 


It
should be quicker to redline the INTELSAT-10 ICD, by incorporating the
INMARSAT-4 specific requirements.


 


Most
of the launch campaign requirements applicable to INTELSAT should be applicable
to INMARSAT, see IRD for specificities. This will be redlined with ASTRIUM
during the preliminary launch campaign preparation meeting (to be performed
soon in Long Beach).

regards

The
susceptibility level is at equipment surface. To evaluate the effect of the
launcher radiated field on the L/V onto S/C TC receivers, the launcher
radiation level at S/C separation plane region must be attenuated by 33 dB to
account for the presence of S/C structures and MLI and the location of the TC
receivers inside the S/C.
