Yamal-101(Russian:Ямал-101) was an intendedgeostationarycommunications satellitethat was lost after launch. It was built byRSC Energiaand operated byGazprom Space Systems.[1]It was, along withYamal-102the first communications satellite of theYamalprogramme and the first iteration of theUSP Bus.[2][3]It was a 1,360 kg (3,000 lb) satellite with 2200wattsof power (1300 watts available for the payload) on an unpressurized bus.[4]It had eightSPT-70electric thrustersbyOKB Fakelforstation keeping.[5]Its payload was 12C-bandequivalenttransponderssupplied bySpace Systems/Loral.[6]

History

[edit]

It was launched successfully with Yamal-102, on 6 September 1999 at 16:36:00UTCfromBaikonurSite 81/23by aProton-K/Blok DM-2Mdirectly togeostationary orbit.[7][8]Due to a failure in the electrical system atsolar paneldeployment it was lost right after launch.[9][1]

Rename of Yamal-102

[edit]

AfterYamal-101failed,Gazprom Space Systemsregistered Yamal-102 as Yamal-101. This caused significant confusion, but the records are clear that the satellite that failed was the original Yamal-101.[9][10]Insurance paid US$50 million for the failure.[11]
