The last 2 launches, placed the APT into slightly different orbits, even if the planned flight profile was shown to be the same. The APT for the Anik F3 was placed into approx 316 by 17660 km orbit, inclination 49.4 degrees Anik F3 mission overview http://www.ilslaunch.com/missionoverview/anik-f3-mo-r7.pdf The APT for the MEASAT-3 was placed into approx 321 by 16604 km orbit, inclination 49.5 degrees MEASAT-3 mission overview http://www.ilslaunch.com/missionoverview/measat-mo-final-oct.pdf You will see the different orbit's listed for both launches, are similar, yet the APT ended up, in slightly different orbits. Weight of payload and other factors, I would think have an effect on the results. Kevin Be smarter than spam. See how smart SpamGuard is at giving junk email the boot with the All-new Yahoo!
