Can you see this one with your telescope Maurice? Japan's COMETS mission (Communications and Broadcasting Engineering Test Satellite), launched at 2:55 a.m. eastern time Saturday morning is in trouble after being left in the wrong orbit, according to orbital data obtained after lift-off. The $366-million satellite was deployed on schedule about 27 minutes after launch. But the second stage of the H-2 rocket shut down earlier than planned during its second of two scheduled firings. The second stage was scheduled to burn for 192 seconds, but only fired for 44 seconds. With the failed second stage performance, COMETS will not make it into its geostationary orbit.
