The Ekspress (Russian: Шаблон:Lang) is a highly flexible satellite bus designed and manufactured by ISS Reshetnev.[1][2] It is an unpressurized bus originally designed for GEO, but that has been adapted for medium Earth orbit and to highly elliptical orbit. It has different versions and has been used from civilian communications to satellite navigation.[3][4][5][6]
Platform variations
The Ekspress bus has two main platforms: the 1000 light to medium version and the 2000, for heavy satellites.[7] There was a project for a third platform, the 4000, but it has not yet been used.[8][3]
Ekspress-1000 Series
The Ekspress-1000 (Russian: Шаблон:Lang) in its different variations offers an platform for small to medium satellites. It is a direct to GEO bus for total spacecraft weights from Шаблон:Convert to Шаблон:Convert and having a power production from 3 kW to 8 kW with a life expectancy of 15 years.[1] It is designed for directly stacking up to 3 of the smallest version (Ekspress-1000K) or 2 of the bigger ones.[7]
- Ekspress-1000K (Russian: Шаблон:Lang): The smallest platform. It is designed for spacecraft up to Шаблон:Convert, with space for Шаблон:Convert of payload and up to 3 kW of power generation and 1.8 kW of heat dissipation. It can be stacked up to three Ekspress-1000K.[7][9]
- Ekspress-1000H (Russian: Шаблон:Lang): The middle platform. It is designed for spacecraft up to Шаблон:Convert, with space for Шаблон:Convert of payload and up to 5.6 kW of power generation and 3.5 kW of heat dissipation. It can be dual stacked with Ekspress-1000K or Ekspress-1000H.[7][9]
- Ekspress-1000SH (Russian: Шаблон:Lang): The biggest platform. It is designed for spacecraft up to Шаблон:Convert, with space for Шаблон:Convert of payload and up to 8 kW of power generation and 5 kW of heat dissipation. It can be dual stacked with an Ekspress-1000K.[7][9]
- Ekspress-1000HT (Russian: Шаблон:Lang): Evolution of the SH platform.[7]
- Ekspress-1000HTA (Russian: Шаблон:Lang): Evolution of the HT platform.[7]
- Ekspress-1000HTV (Russian: Шаблон:Lang): Evolution of the HTA platform.[7]
Ekspress-2000 Series
The Ekspress-2000 (Russian: Шаблон:Lang) is the fruits of the collaboration with Thales Alenia Space and their Spacebus 4000 experience with the Ekspress-1000H.[4][9] It is a big platform for spacecraft massing up to Шаблон:Convert, with space for Шаблон:Convert of payload and up to 14 kW of power generation and 7.5 kW of heat dissipation. It is, as the rest of the family, a direct to GEO bus and given its size it is not designed to be stacked. It has an expected design life of 15 years.[7][2]
Ekspress-4000 Series
The Ekspress-4000 (Russian: Шаблон:Lang) is a collaboration with Thales Alenia Space to mix the best elements of the Ekspress-2000 with the Spacebus 4000.[9] It would be a direct to GEO platform for spacecraft massing up to Шаблон:Convert and having a power production of 14 kW with a life expectancy of 15 years. This would enable more than 60 transponders of payload.[8]
It would lack any orbit raising propulsion, but would keep the electric propulsion thrusters (SPT-100) supplied by OKB Fakel for station keeping. It would also use the Russian solar panels and have versions designed for highly elliptical orbit like Molniya orbit so important for the northerner regions of Russia.[8]
During 2009, the plan was to start with a series of satellites in HEO orbits for the Russian government, called Ekspress-RV Шаблон:Lang). It would be a constellation of three on orbit spacecraft with a fourth backup on Earth, but no further development have been communicated. Nor any of the expected foreign sales were closed.[8]
List of satellites
The Ekspress bus has seen many successes, both for the commercial market and the military programs. Here is a list of all known orders as of July 2016.
