Description

STP Tri-Service Experiments TXS5 - ORBITAL  Pegasus XL  Satellite SPACE PATCH
The TSX-5 space vehicle, built and integrated by Orbital Sciences Corporation, is the sixth in a series of U.S. Air Force (USAF) Space and Missile Center (SMC), Space Test Platform (STP) provided small class spacecraft missions for conducting space research and development experiments. This space vehicle is a descendant of the Space Test Experiment Platform (STEP) common spacecraft bus, whose program missions included STEP-0, STEP-1, STEP-2, STEP-3, and STEP-4. TSX-5 hosts two DoD experiments, Space Test Research Vehicle-2 (STRV-2) sponsored by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO), and the Compact Environmental Anomaly Sensor (CEASE) sponsored by the USAF Research Laboratory (AFRL).
TSX-5 will be launched in April 2000 aboard an Orbital Science Corporation Pegasus XL launch vehicle. The TSX-5 space vehicle flight configuration is shown in the figure below, TSX-5 Space Vehicle. Four major physical attributes dominate the space vehicle external configuration: the spacecraft or core module, the separation system, the STRV-2 Experiment Module (EM), and the fixed geometry solar arrays.
