LEOP support of O3B satellite Launch Vehicle injection
from USN’s Hawaii ground station

O3B is the first satellite in a series of spacecraft to provide Internet services to
less populated areas of the planet. The spacecraft will be launched from French
Guiana on a Soyuz vehicle on June 24th, 2013 at 18:53:51 UTC. USN has been
contracted to support the pre-injection burn of spacecraft during a single pass for
a duration of 114 minutes. Mission profile for USN is shown in figure 1. USN will
only receive telemetry and tracking information from the vehicle and will not
uplink to the vehicle or spacecraft.

USN will track the launch vehicle from between the positions shown in table 1
below for a total duration of 114 minutes (also shown in figure 1 above). The
tracking frequency is shown in table 2. Data will be collected and forwarded to
CNES in real-time.
