Russia orbited 3 telecoms satellites.
On September 11, 2013 at 23:23 UTC (on September 12 at 03:23 Moscow time) the Russian "Rockot” rocket-carrier was launched by the units of Russian Aerospace Defence Forces from Plesetsk Cosmodrome, North of Russia. The rocket orbited three "Gonets-M” communications satellites. Gonets means a messenger in Russian.
The light-class "Rokot” rocket-carrier is a modified version of the Russian RS-18 (SS-19 Stiletto) intercontinental ballistic missile. It uses the two original lower stages of the ICBM, in conjunction with an upper-stage block containing the Briz-KM booster and space-bound payloads.
The Gonets-M satellites will be part of Russia’s low-orbit grouping of telecoms satellites designed to provide communications services for remote areas of Russia.

Japanese HTV-4 cargo ends its flight.
On September 07, 2013 the Japanese HTV "Kounotori-4” unmanned supply spacecraft was deorbited. Following its departure from the International Space Station on September 04, the HTV-4 spent two and a half days in free flight, performing a number of altitude reduction maneuvers to set up for re-entry. This burn began at 6:11 UTC and slowed HTV down just enough to enable it to intercept Earth’s atmosphere at a pre-planned location above the Pacific.

US launched a spacecraft to explore moon's atmosphere.
On September 07, 2013 at 03:27 UTC the "Minotaur-5” rocket-carrier was launched from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport. It is a commercial space launch facility located at the southern tip of NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on the Delmarva Peninsula south of Chincoteague, Virginia, USA.
The rocket was launched by Orbital Sciences Corporation and orbited the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE) to Moon on a mission to explore its atmosphere and the role of dust in the lunar sky.
The 280-million-U.S.-dollar mission will gather detailed information about the structure and composition of the thin lunar atmosphere and study how moon dust behaves above the lunar surface, according to NASA.
Once it reaches the moon, the LADEE will begin its 40-day commissioning phase, the first 30 days of which the spacecraft will be performing activities high above the moon's surface.
These activities include testing a hig ... Read more »

Japanese cargo spacecraft departed the Space Station.
On September 04, 2013 the Japanese "HTV Kounotori-4” unmanned supply spacecraft departed the International Space Station. At 12:09 UTC by using the space station's robotic arm Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano and US astronaut Karen Nyberg removed the HTV-4 cargo vehicle from its port on the Harmony module. At about 16:20 the spacecraft was released. It will be deorbited on September 07, 2013.

Ariane rocket orbited two communications satellites.
On August 29, 2013 at 20:30 UTC the "Arian-5” rocket-carrier was launched from Kourou Cosmodrome in French Guiana. The rocket orbited 2 satellites: the EUTELSAT 25B/Es'hail 1 and GSAT-7.
The EUTELSAT 25B/Es'hail 1 satellite is a ground-breaking partnership between Eutelsat and the Doha-based Es'hailSat, the Qatar Satellite Company - marked a historic moment for the Qatari operator as it is the first satellite of its planned global fleet.
The EUTELSAT 25B/Es'hail 1 will provide coverage of the Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia for both Eutelsat and Es'hailSat, delivering television broadcasting, telecommunications and government services for this area.
The GSAT-7, developed by the Indian Space Research Organization will cover the Indian subcontinent and neighboring waters and will provide communications between Indian naval vessels and military commanders.

USA launched a new rocket carrying a spy satellite.
On August 28, 2013 at 18:03 UTC the US "Delta 4-Heavy” rocket-carrier was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base. The launch was performed by United Launch Alliance supported by the 30th Space Wing of US Air Force. The rocket orbited a US spy satellite.
The launch was named as the NROL-65 mission as it was done for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), which is in charge of U. S. intelligence-gathering satellites, to support national defense, according to the United Launch Alliance, which also developed the rocket together with the U.S. Air Force.
Experts believe that this is a reconnaissance spacecraft of a KH-11/CRYSTAL type.

Soviet-era rocket orbited South Korean satellite.

On August 22, 2013 at 14:39 UTC the Russian "Dnepr” rocket-carrier was launched from a space base near Yasny, a small community in the Orenburg region in the southern part of Russia.
The rocket launched out of an underground silo (vertical cylindrical container for the storage and launching of intercontinental ballistic missiles) orbited the South Korean "KompSat-5” (Arirang-5) observing satellite.
The three-stage "Dnepr” rocket-carrier is derived from an SS-18 missile built to carry Russian nuclear weapons.
The "KompSat-5” satellite is designed for a five-year mission to collect high-resolution imagery to aid urban planners, emergency responders and environmental scientists.
