Moin,
Am 16. März 2007 um 10.36 Uhr wurde INSAT-4B während der 3. Anhebung nach 3 m 50 s durch den eigenen Antrieb auf seine bestimmte Bahn gebracht.
It may be recalled that INSAT-4B was successfully launched by Ariane-5 on March 12, 2007 from Kourou, French Guyana. The launch vehicle had placed INSAT-4B in an orbit with a perigee (closest point to earth) of 250 km and apogee (farthest point to earth) of 35,886 km. The inclination of the orbit with respect to the equator was 4.5 deg. With two orbit raising manoeuvres conducted from MCF on March 13 and 14, 2007, the orbit of INSAT-4B had been raised to 32,878 km perigee and 35,736 km apogee with the orbital inclination reduced to 0.19 deg.
