1447 (mission complete) - Based on the preliminary data from Pegasus telemetry received by ground stations located in Guam and Australia, which is then linked by satellite to the mission control center at Wallops, it appears that all eight satellites successfully separated from Pegasus at the targeted orbital altitude. -Preliminary Information Only The chart below illustrates the path the satellites and the HAPS stage traveled and the locations over the Earth where the satellites separated from the final Pegasus stage. The inset box describes the mission's ground station coverage around the world, from acquisition of signal (AOS) to loss of signal (LOS). Over the next several days, Orbital and ORBCOMM engineers will perform a series of early, in-orbit spacecraft checkout activities before initiating the more extensive tests that occur over the next several months prior to placing the satellites into commercial service. This concludes our coverage of the ORBCOMM-2 Pegasus launch. Orbital and ORBCOMM will be issuing press releases over the coming days and weeks about the progress of the satellites.
