Russia will launch a new spacecraft to study the Sun - Koronas-Foton (or Coronas-Photon). Launch is scheduled to occur on 29th of jan 2009. This is supposed to be the last launch of a Tsyklon rocket. Once launched Koronas-Photon will be placed into a cirtular orbit 500kms above the Earth. Orbital inclination - 82.5 deg. |

Koronas-Foton entered the orbit with a maximum illumination, but engineers were unable to restore the performance of the spacecraft. TESIS team confirms that there is no radio link with the spacecraft since December 11th 2009. Actually, they are not talking about "restoring the science program". They are talking about obtaining a radio signal from the spacecraft. Koronas-Foton is silent. There's still no explaination why Roscosmos (specifically its head Anatoly Perminov) told us that engineers have restored the functionality of Koronas-Foton and there is a radio link between the spacecraft and Earth controllers. |
