On February 11, 2015 at 23:03 UTC the “Falcon-9R” rocket-carrier was launched from Cape Canaveral launch site of US Air Force. The launch was performed by SpaceX company supported by the 45th Space Wing of US Air Force. The rocket orbited DSCOVR (Deep Space Climate Observatory).

The DSCOVR spacecraft will operate at the L1 Lagrange point nearly a million miles from Earth in line with the sun. The $340 million mission will measure fluctuations in the supersonic solar wind streaming toward Earth from the sun, warning forecasters of possible solar storms that could disrupt air traffic, communications, satellite navigation and electrical grids.

On February 10, 2015 the station's robotic arm removed the “Dragon” unmanned supply spacecraft from a berthing port on the Harmony module of the International Space Station. Controlled by ground controllers and then astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti (Italy), the robotic arm let go of the "Dragon” resupply vehicle at 19:10 UTC

On February 11, 2015 at 00:44 UTC the "Dragon” capsule splashed down in the Pacific Ocean at about 260 miles (480 kilometers) southwest of Long Beach, California, USA. The Dragon delivered to Earth about 1700 kilograms (3700 pounds) of cargo. It was the "SpaceX CRS-5” mission. CRS means Commercial Resupply Services.

On February 05, 2015 at 12:45 UTC the AESP-14 satellite was deployed from the International Space Station. It is a brazilian 1U CubeSat, which was developed as a scientific and technological cooperation basically between the ITA (Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica) and INPE (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais). The satellite was sent to the International Space Station (ISS) as cargo on board the Dragon (CRS-5) supply spacecraft in January 2015.

On February 02, 2015 at 09:30 UTC the “Saphir-2” (“Messenger-2”;  Persian -  سفير ۲‎) rocket-carrier was launched from Semnan Spaceport, Semnan Province of Iran. The launch site is situated in Dasht-e Kavir Desert (also known as Kavir-e Namak and the Great Salt Desert) is a large desert lying in the middle of the Iranian plateau. The rocket orbited the Iranian “Fajr” satellite. The satellite is capable of staying in the space for 1.5 years and can taking and transmitting high-quality and accurate pictures to stations on earth. Fajr satellite is technically characterized by an orbit which could promote from 250 to 450 kilometers through a thruster or an engine. It is the new generation of Omid (Hope) satellite, which was designed and manufactured by Iranian experts in 2009. Equipped with GPS navigation system, Fajr is the fourth Iranian-made satellite which was put ... Read more »

On February 01, 2015 at 12:31 UTC the Russian "Proton-M” rocket-carrier was launched from Baykonur Cosmodrome. The rocket equipped with the "Briz-M” booster orbited the “Inmarsat-5F2” telecommunication satellite.

On February 01, 2015 at 01:21 UTC the H-2A rocket-carrier was launched from Tanegashima Space Center in the southwestern Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan. The rocket orbited the IGS (Information Gathering Satellite) radar spy satellite. The IGS program consists of optical and radar imaging spacecraft. The satellites are constructed by Mitsubishi Electric and launched by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries using the H-I2A rocket.

On January 31, 2015 at 14:22 UTC the "Delta-2” rocket-carrier was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, USA. The launch was performed by United Launch Alliance supported by the 30th Space Wing of US Air Force. The rocket orbited the SMAP observatory. Soil Moisture Active Passive, or SMAP, is a NASA mission to produce a global map of the moisture content in the Earth’s soil.

In addition to SMAP, the launch carried four miniature satellites under NASA’s Educational Launch of Nanosatellites program: FIREBIRD-2A and  FIREBIRD-2B (Focused Investigations of Relativistic Electron Burst, Intensity, Range, and Dynamics); GRIFEX (GEO-CAPE ROIC In-Flight Performance Experiment); ExoCube.

On January 21, 2015 at 01:04 UTC the “Atlas-5” rocket-carrier was launched from Cape Canaveral launch site of US Air Force. The launch was performed by United Launch Alliance supported by the 45th Space Wing of US Air Force. The rocket orbited MUOS F3 (Mobile User Objective Systems) telecommunication satellite. The MUOS 3 spacecraft is the heaviest payload to launch atop an Atlas 5 launch vehicle. It was the 200th Atlas-Centaur launch.

On January 12, 2015 at 13:56 UTC the private U.S. unmanned supply spacecraft, the Dragon (CRS-5 flight), was successfully docked to the International Space Station. The linkup operation was carried out by American astronauts Barry Wilmore with the help of the giant 17-meter Canadarm. The capture with Canadarm-2 occurred at 10:54 UTC. The Dragon spacecraft was maneuvered into position and attached to a berthing port on the space station's Harmony module. The unmanned spacecraft delivered about 2.6 tons of supplies for the space station crew and for experiments being conducted aboard the ISS.

On January 10, 2015 at 09:47 UTC the "Falcon 9” rocket-carrier was launched from the Cape Canaveral US Air Force Station in Florida. The launch was performed by the "SpaceX” private company supported by the 45th Space Wing of US Air Force. US private company SpaceX launched its "Dragon” (CRS-5 flight) unmanned spacecraft on a firth cargo resupply mission to the International Space Station. CRS means Commercial Resupply Services. The Dragon spacecraft is carrying about 2,317 kilograms of supplies for the space station crew and for experiments being conducted aboard the ISS. It is the 7th flight of a “Dragon” spacecraft and the 6th flight of a “Dragon” to the ISS.
