Definition

  • October 5, 1993 (did not achieve orbit) Participants NASA National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Department of the Interior (DOI) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Spacecraft bus: Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space Enhanced Thematic Mapper (ETM): Hughes Santa Barbara Research Center Launch Date: October 5, 1993 Vehicle: Titan II Launched by: NASA Site: Western Test Range at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California Spacecraft Power provided by a single sun-tracking solar array and two 50 Ampere-Hour (AHr), Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries Attitude control provided through four reaction wheels (pitch, yaw, roll, and skew); three 2-channel gyros with celestial drift updating; a static Earth sensor; a 1750 processor; and torque rods and magnetometers for momentum uploading Orbit control and backup momentum unloading provided through a blow-down monopropellant hydrazine system with a single tank containing 270 pounds of hydrazine, associated plumbing, and twelve 1-pound-thrust jets Weight: approx. 4,800 lbs (2,200 kg) Length: 4.3 m (14 ft) Diameter: 2.8 m (9 ft) Communications Direct downlink with solid state recorders capable of storing 380 gigabits of data (100 scenes) Data rate: 85 Mbps Orbit (if obtained) Worldwide Reference System-2 (WRS-2) path/row system Sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 705 km (438 mi) Inclined 98.2° (slightly retrograde) Repeat cycle: 16 days Equatorial crossing time: 10:00 a.m. +/- 15 minutes https://www.usgs.gov/land-resources/nli/landsat/landsat-6 https://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/landsat-6/ (en)
