ARTICLE 7 LAUNCH
SCHEDULE ADJUSTMENTS

 

7.1           Customer Launch Schedule Adjustments Customer may request either a
postponement or advancement of the Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Date
previously determined under Article 6 of this Contract entitled “Launch
Schedule,” by giving written notice to Contractor requesting a new Launch
Period or Launch Date. If the launch schedule adjustment results in a later
Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Date, then the total number of calendar
days of delay requested by Customer shall be attributed to Customer. The length
of delay shall be measured from the first day of the then current Launch Period
or Launch Slot or the Launch Date, if established, to the first day of the new
Launch Period or Launch Slot or the new Launch Date, as applicable. The Parties
will cooperate in good faith to select a new Launch Period, Launch Slot or
Launch Date taking into account the requirements and interests of Customer and
the requirements for a Launch Opportunity.

 

7.1.1        If
Customer has elected to launch the first Inmarsat 4 series satellite on the Basic
Launch Service in accordance with Paragraph 6.1, Customer may elect to switch
such assignment and launch the second Inmarsat 4 series satellite on the Basic
Launch Service at any time prior to sixty (60) days before the commencement of
the launch campaign.  Any postponements
resulting from such reassignment shall be attributable to Customer.

 

7.1.2        Notwithstanding
the provisions of Paragraph 7.1.1, Customer may elect to substitute a different
Inmarsat 4 series satellite at any time prior to Launch. Any postponements
resulting from such substitution shall be attributable to Customer. In the
event that Customer’s substitution of a different satellite in accordance with
this Paragraph 7.1.2 results in the postponement of the Launch Date once the
Launch Vehicle erection process has begun, where the postponement requires that
the Launch Vehicle be de-erected from the launch pad so that Contractor will be
able to meet other contractual commitments, United States Government
requirements or for other operational reasons, Customer will be liable for the
costs directly incurred for such effort, including, without limitation, to
de-erect, place and maintain in storage, re-erect and re-process the Launch
Vehicle and Satellite and to re-integrate the Satellite.  Total costs for such efforts that Customer
shall be liable for shall not exceed U.S. $7,000,000. Such costs will be paid
within thirty (30) days of receipt of Contractor’s invoice.

 

7.1.3        Postponements
by Customer under this Article 7, including Excusable Delays as described in
Article 8 entitled “Excusable Delays”, for each Launch Service shall not exceed
a total of twelve (12) months. In the event that a single postponement, or
cumulative postponements, attributed to Customer exceed such maximum
permissible postponement for any one Launch Service, that Launch Service shall,
at the election of Contractor, be subject to termination by Contractor in
accordance with Paragraph 21.4 of this Contract entitled “Termination by
Contractor for Excessive Launch Postponements.”

 

7.2           Contractor Launch Schedule Adjustments Contractor may postpone or request an
advancement of the Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Date previously
determined under Article 6 entitled “Launch Schedule” by giving notice to
Customer proposing a new Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Date. The Parties
will cooperate in good faith to select a new Launch Period, Launch Slot or
Launch Date in good faith taking into account the available Launch
Opportunities and the requirements and interests of Customer. Until the new
Launch Period, Launch Slot or Launch Date is selected in accordance with this
Paragraph 7.2, the then-current launch schedule shall remain in effect.

 

7.2.1        If
the final launch schedule adjustment results in a later Launch Period, Launch
Slot or Launch Date, then only the total number of calendar days of delay

 

Confidential

 

15

 

requested by Contractor shall be attributed to Contractor.  The length of delay shall be measured from
the first day of the then current Launch Period or Launch Slot or the Launch
Date, if established, to the first day of the new Launch Period or Launch Slot
or the new Launch Date, as applicable.

 

7.2.2        Postponements
by Contractor under this Article 7, including Excusable Delays as described in
Article 8 entitled “Excusable Delays”, shall not exceed a total of twelve (12) months
for each Launch Service. In the event that a single postponement, or cumulative
postponements, attributed to Contractor exceed such maximum permissible
postponement for any one Launch Service, that Launch Service shall, at the
election of Customer, be subject to termination by Customer in accordance with
Paragraph 21.2 entitled “Termination by Customer for Excessive Launch
Postponements.”

 

7.3           Not Used

 

7.4           Not Used

 

7.5           Not Used

 

7.6           Postponements Attributed to Non-Complying Party under Article 10 Should the failure of either Party to
provide required data, hardware and services result in a delay to the launch
schedule, then such delay shall be deemed a postponement attributed to the
non-complying Party in accordance with this Article 7. Requirements to provide
data, hardware and services, delays and the consequences of postponement
attributable to the non-complying Party are described in Article 10 entitled
“Additional Contractor and Customer Obligations Prior to Launch.”

 

7.7           Obligation to Give Prompt Notice Contractor and Customer acknowledge and agree that it
is in the best interests of both Parties to promote certainty in launch
schedule decisions and minimize disruption to other customers of Contractor.
Therefore, the Parties agree to give prompt notice of any need for schedule
change under this Article 7 or any actual or potential delay that might impact
the launch schedule.

event of a delay in the performance of its obligations or commitments, and the
date on which those obligations are to be fulfilled shall be extended for the
period of time of such delay, when the delay was due to causes beyond the
reasonable control and not due to the fault or negligence of the Party subject

conditions that do not permit launching, range availability, maintenance of
appropriate clearance times between flights, delays reasonably required by
Contractor or Customer to take corrective action following any launch or
satellite failure or major anomaly, delays due to any reflight or replacement
launch required under contract for another customer, inability to timely obtain
from insurance underwriters necessary and proper third party liability
insurance including insurance for damage to government property, or any
condition that jeopardizes the safety of employees of Contractor, Customer or
their respective Related Third Parties.

 

8.2           Notice(s) of Excusable Delays Contractor and Customer each acknowledge and agree
that it is in the best interests of both Parties to promote certainty in launch
schedule decisions and minimize disruption to other customers of Contractor.

and services identified in Annex A entitled “Statement of Work,”  and Customer shall provide to Contractor the
data, hardware and services identified in of Annex A entitled “Statement of
Work,” in accordance with the schedules contained therein.

 

10.2         Notification of Non-Compliance The Party receiving the data, hardware or services referred
to in Paragraph 10.1 shall promptly notify the other in accordance with
Paragraph 9.2 in the event the data, hardware or services are not consistent
with the requirements contained in Annex A. The notification shall contain a
statement of the discrepancy and recommend solutions. The Party receiving the

services to be supplied by one Party to the other, in accordance with Paragraph
10.1 above, are not furnished in accordance with the required schedules set
forth in Annex A or are not suitable for their intended purpose, the receiving
Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to continue its obligations
under this Contract without affecting the launch schedule or incurring
additional expense. If however, despite the receiving Party’s commercially
reasonable efforts, such continuation is not possible and, as a result of the
other Party’s failure to provide data, hardware or services as required in
accordance with Paragraph 10.1 above, the launch schedule is adversely affected,
then a launch schedule postponement shall be declared by the receiving Party
under the appropriate provisions of Article 7 attributable to the Party failing
to provide the data, hardware or services as required by Annex A.

COMPLIANCE WITH UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS

 

13.1         Customer Compliance with Requirements Contractor has executed agreements with
various United States Government agencies for use of United States
Government-owned property and facilities relating to launch operations at CCAS
in Florida. Each Party agrees that it shall comply with the United States
Government’s laws, regulations, licenses, policies and directives as they

them arising in any manner in connection with the performance of or activities
carried out pursuant to this Contract, or other related activities in or around

of the cause or effects of the loss or failure, Customer shall provide to
Contractor any final official report resulting from such investigation or
review, and produce for inspection and copying all pertinent records, invoices,
receipts, contracts and any other documentation available to Customer to
support the loss.

 

19.3.11          In
the event that any Refund associated with the Launch Risk Refund Protection
hereunder, whether total or partial, is made to Customer and it is later
determined that the anticipated degradation of the lifetime or operational
capability of the Satellite is reduced or eliminated, Customer will return to
Contractor, within forty five (45) days of such determination, (a) the entire
Refund amount in the event that the anticipated degradation of the lifetime or
operational capability of the Satellite is eliminated, or (b) an amount such
that the Refund retained by Customer equals the amount that would have been
paid for the extent of degradation as revised in the event that anticipated
degradation of the lifetime or operational capability of the Satellite is
reduced, less any cost reasonably incurred to restore the Satellite lifetime or
operational capability.

 

19.3.12                    In the event that a Launch Service is declared a
Constructive Total Failure or Partial Failure and a Refund is provided by
Contractor associated with this Launch Risk Refund Protection, Contractor shall
be entitled to a pro rata salvage value of the Satellite (taking into account
other insured interests) to the extent of such Refund. Salvage value shall
extend to any revenues or equivalent goods and services and other proceeds
derived from the sale, lease or other use or disposal of the Satellite or any
affected portion thereof.

 

19.3.13          Customer’s
right to a Launch Risk Refund Protection or Refund shall be void if (a) the
Customer conceals or misrepresents, in writing or otherwise, any material fact
or circumstance concerning this Launch Risk Refund Protection, or (b) the
Customer defrauds or attempts to defraud Contractor or its insurers, whether
before or after a loss.

19.5         Failure Review Board(s) In the event of a suspected Partial Failure, Total
Failure or Constructive Total Failure, implementation of this Article 19 shall
be based on the findings of the Launch Service Failure Review Board. Customer
may elect to form, at its sole and unilateral discretion, a Satellite Failure
Review Board.  Such Satellite Failure Review
Board shall be permitted to provide data, analyses, and other information to
the Launch Service Failure Review Board that the Launch Service Failure Review
Board shall consider, if relevant to the determination of launch vehicle
performance, in its findings.  Customer
will be entitled to present findings/evidence of the Satellite Failure Review
Board in the event of a material disagreement with respect to the determination
of facts or conclusions of the Boards with regard to whether a Partial, Total
or Constructive Failure occurred. 
Customer will receive notice of the findings of the Launch Service
Failure Review Board and Contractor shall receive notice of the Satellite Failure
Review Board from Customer. If Contractor has not already convened a Failure
Review Board to evaluate a suspected Total Failure, Constructive Total Failure
or Partial Failure, then Customer may give written notice to Contractor
requesting that a Failure Review Board be convened.

 

19.5.1            The
Launch Service Failure Review Board shall consist of those technical
disciplines determined by Contractor to be necessary to assess the failure, its
cause and necessary corrective action, if any, required for future launches.
Customer may provide representation to the Launch Service Failure Review Board,
but such representation shall be limited to data review, consultation and
recommendation only. Customer will provide evidence of the damage, if any, to
the Satellite as a result of the failure. The Launch Service Failure Review
Board shall make a determination

Constructive Total Failure.

 

19.5.2            If
convened by the Customer, The Satellite Failure Review Board shall consist of
those technical disciplines determined by Customer to be necessary to determine
functionality of the satellite and cause or any degredation. Contractor may
provide representation to the Satellite Failure Review Board, but such
representation shall be limited to data review, consultation and recommendation
only. Contractor will provide evidence as to the performance of the Launch Vehicle.  Data, analyses, and other information may be
provided by the Satellite Failure Review Board to the Launch Service Failure
Review Board if, in the reasonable determination of the Satellite Failure
Review Board, such information will or may have a bearing on the determination
of the Launch Service Review Board.  Any
such data, analyses, and other information shall be provided in writing.

 

19.5.3            In
the event the Launch Service Failure Review Board fails to render a decision
within ninety (90) days of the Launch or Customer and Contractor do not
otherwise reach mutual agreement as to occurrence of a Total Failure,
Constructive Total Failure or Partial Failure, or in the event Customer or
Contractor disagrees with the findings of the Launch Service Failure Review
Boards, both Customer and Contractor shall promptly and without undue delay,
each appoint an expert in the field who is independent from both Customer or
Contractor. The two (2) experts shall appoint a third expert who is independent
from both Customer and Contractor.  In
the event the experts fail to agree upon appointment of a third expert within
thirty (30) days of written notice by Customer and Contractor to appoint a
third expert, Customer and Contractor agree to allow The International Chamber
of Commerce to select such third expert. The three (3) experts shall review all
of the materials provided to the Failure Review Board and, following this
review, transmit their findings in writing to Customer and Contractor at the
same time. All decisions of this panel of three experts shall be by majority
vote. Customer and Contractor agree to be bound by the findings and/or
appraisal of the three (3) experts provided for under this Article or, if the
first two experts should disagree, by the majority vote of the three experts
provided for under this Article. Customer and Contractor shall each be
responsible for the cost of the selection and use of their respective appointed
expert, and both Customer and Contractor shall share equally the cost of the
selection and use of the third expert. The panel of three experts if

necessary, shall conduct their review and determination in accordance
with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce.

 

19.6         Contractor recognises that Customer
intends to purchase additional insurance for the Satellite(s) and if requested,
Contractor will use its reasonable efforts to harmonise the terms of the Launch

ARTICLE 20

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LAUNCH VEHICLE INTERFACE CHANGES

 

In the event that the Customer incurs additional cost from its
spacecraft manufacturer, solely due to either: (i) the projected Launch Vehicle
environments exceeding those currently contained in Annex B or (ii) Launch
Vehicle mechanical or electrical or electro-magnetic or functional interface
change(s) from the Annex B baseline Contractor shall reimburse Customer for
such costs subject to the following:

 

                    a)         The environmental exceedences or Launch Vehicle interface
changes were not the result or due to actions of the spacecraft manufacturer or
Customer.

 

                    b)        Customer demonstrates to Contractor that such costs and or
delays to Satellite delivery, which shall be subject to independent audit, were
incurred and were necessary and reasonable and that the alleged Satellite
delivery delays were due to causes attributable solely to Launch Vehicle
environmental exceedences or Launch Vehicle interface changes that were not the
result or due to actions of the spacecraft manufacturer or Customer.

 

                    c)         Customer provides Contractor thirty (30) days notice prior
to the performance of the additional work by the spacecraft manufacturer and
allows the Contractor to provide alternative solutions. Customer agrees to give
due consideration to Contractor’s suggested alternative solution(s), if any,
and in any event Customer agrees to use best commercial efforts to minimize
spacecraft manufacturer’s additional costs.

 

Upon fulfillment of the above criteria, Contractor shall reimburse
Customer within thirty (30) days of receipt of Customer invoice, provided
Contractor’s cumulative liability under this provision shall not exceed $2,000,000
per Launch Service under this  Contract. In the event that the Customer’s costs under
this Article are likely to exceed Contractor’s cumulative liability limit of
$2,000,000 or cause a delay in
Satellite delivery in excess of sixty (60) days due to causes attributable
solely to Launch Vehicle environmental exceedences or Launch Vehicle interface
changes that were not the result or due to actions of the spacecraft
manufacturer or Customer, Customer
may terminate the applicable Launch Service(s). Customer will waive its right
to terminate  Contractor
under this provision if it fails to terminate within 10 days of receiving
notice form the Satellite Manufacture providing  notice to Customer that the cumulative liability limit
will be exceeded or that the change will cause a Satellite delivery delay in
excess of 60 days.

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.

 

13

 

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
right or interest in or to any part of any Launch Vehicle, or in any other
property of Sea Launch including without limitation hardware used or furnished
by Sea Launch in providing Launch Services under this Contract.  Such property of Sea Launch shall be
considered between the Parties to be the property of Sea Launch.

 

12.2         Sea Launch understands and agrees that at no time does
Sea Launch obtain title to or any ownership of or any other legal or equitable
right or interest in or to any property of Inmarsat or any part thereof

property of Inmarsat shall be considered between the Parties to be the property
of Inmarsat.

Launch under the Contract, and the available remedies, are limited to the
following:

 

(i)            Sea Launch may terminate the Contract in the event
that Inmarsat fails to comply with the payment obligations specified in Article
5, Payments.  In no event shall the
effective date of termination by Sea Launch under this Paragraph be earlier
than sixty (60) days after the due date of any payment not made. In the case of

19

 

only
the Launch postponed may be terminated under this Paragraph. The right of Sea
Launch to terminate under this Paragraph is conditioned upon receipt of a
written notification of a Launch postponement or cumulative postponements
exceeding eighteen (18) months.  Sea Launch
must terminate within sixty (60) days of the expiration of the eighteen (18)
month period of postponement or must waive its right to terminate under this
Paragraph unless further delayed by Inmarsat.

 

14.2.2      If Sea Launch brings any claim for material breach
prior to Launch other than for a Launch Schedule postponement, the exclusive
remedy of Sea Launch shall be termination of the Contract and retention of up
to the total of all payments made for every Launch subject to termination.

 

14.3         Any termination for default or breach under this
Article must be preceded by thirty (30) days written notification that
specifies the default or breach and the intent to terminate in the event that
the default or breach is not or cannot be cured within thirty (30) days of such
notice.

 

14.4         Both Inmarsat and Sea Launch agree that the payments
specified in this Article represent fair compensation for either Party, and
shall constitute the exclusive rights and remedies available to the Parties in
the event of termination by either Party.

 

ARTICLE 15 — RISK ALLOCATION

 

The
Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the liabilities of Sea Launch
and/or of Inmarsat, resulting from the non execution or late execution of the
services provided by Sea Launch, and of the technical commitments of Inmarsat,
are strictly limited to the provisions of this Contract, excluding any other
liabilities or claims.

 

15.1         Warranty

 

15.1.1      Warranty Disclaimer. 
Sea Launch makes no warranty, express or implied, with respect to the
Launch or any services provided to or on behalf of Inmarsat. Nothing in this

all warranties has been bargained for in this Contract.

 

15.1.2      Limitation of Liability. In no event shall either
Party be liable under or in connection with this Contract under any legal or
equitable theory, including negligence, for direct, indirect, special,
consequential, or incidental damages, or indemnities, except as expressly
provided in this Contract.

waive all rights of subrogation against the other Party.

 

15.2         Licensed Launch Activities

 

15.2.1      Third Party Liability Insurance (Licensed Launch
Activities)

 

15.2.1.1   Sea Launch shall obtain and maintain in effect a
policy of liability insurance that protects Inmarsat and its Related Third Parties
against claims by a Third Party for bodily injury or property damage resulting
from Licensed Launch Activities performed under this Contract. Such insurance
shall be in the amounts of US $100,000,000, before Launch and US $300,000,000

15.2.1.2   Such insurance shall remain in effect from
commencement of Licensed Launch Activities until one year after Launch.

 

15.2.1.3   The Third Party liability insurance obtained pursuant

claims by a Third Party against Sea Launch, Inmarsat or their Related Third
Parties for bodily injury or property damage resulting from Licensed Launch
Activities, but only to the extent that the aggregate of such claims arising
out of any particular Launch is (i) in excess of the amount of insurance
required by the AST under paragraph 15.2.1.1 above and (ii) not in excess of
$1,500,000,000 (plus any additional sums necessary to reflect inflation
occurring after January 1, 1989).

 

15.2.2.2   Upon expiration of the insurance policy prescribed
under paragraph 15.2.1.1 above, the United States Government shall, subject to
the conditions of the Commercial Space Launch Act, provide for payment of
claims by a Third Party against Sea Launch, Inmarsat or their Related Third
Parties for bodily injury or property damage resulting from Licensed Launch
Activities from the first dollar of loss up to $1,500,000,000 (plus any
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.

 

21

 

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
Launch Activities).

 

15.2.2.1   Each Party agrees to execute and submit to the AST, at
least forty (40) days prior to commencement of Licensed Launch Activities under
this Contract, the Agreement for Waiver of Claims and Assumption of

Launch and the U.S. Government only with respect to Licensed Launch Activities
performed under this Contract.

 

15.2.2.2   Each Party shall implement the reciprocal waiver of
claims provisions provided in paragraph 15.2.2.1 with its Related Third Parties
(other than employees, officers or directors) requiring them to waive and
release all claims of liability they may have against the other Party and its
Related 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 against the Sea Launch
and its Related Third Parties.

 

15.5         Indemnification- Intellectual Property Infringement

 

15.5.1      Sea Launch agrees to defend, hold harmless and
indemnify Inmarsat and its Related Third parties from and against any

right or any other intellectual property right of a third party or a Related
Third Party of Sea Launch which may arise from the provisions of the services
under this Contract by Sea Launch.

 

23

 

15.5.2      Inmarsat agrees to defend, hold harmless and indemnify
Sea Launch and its Related Third parties from and against any liabilities,
costs, risks, losses, damages, or injury, or any consequences thereof, resulting
from an infringement or claim for infringement of the patent right or any other
intellectual property rights of a third party or a Related Third Party of
Inmarsat which may arise from the design and manufacture of the Spacecraft

 

15.6         Notice and Cooperation

 

Each
Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in obtaining relevant reports
and other information in connection with the presentation by either Party of
any claim under insurance required by this article.  A Party seeking indemnification under this

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

 

The
Contract and any matter arising under the Contract, regardless of whether such
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
between the Parties.  Neither Party 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:

ANNEX A, APPENDIX 1

 

STATEMENT OF WORK

 

 

for

 

LAUNCH SERVICES

 

 

 

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.

The moments of inertia are referenced in the S/C coordinate system where the origin is at the
centre of gravity of the S/C.

The products of inertia are calculated by the following equation: Pxy=+¿xydm

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.

  free for optimisation

  

 

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.

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).

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.
