Launch times are in UTC and are either from the launching agency or estimated by 'walking back' along the ground track to the launch site. Most orbit data and decay information comes from SpaceTrack. The Space-Track data occasionally contains inconsistencies (eg - incorrect re-entry dates or early sets of elements allocated to the wrong object) that need to be corrected from other sources.

To fill the gaps where elements are not formally published, usually because they have a classification of "Secret", some orbits are based on amateur observations. Such data is published near-daily by Mike McCants. Occasionally, orbits are estimated by myself from public data.

Space-Track sometimes has insufficient information to allocate names to objects in its catalogue. In these cases, names are derived from public information.

Apogee and perigee are measured against a spherical Earth with a radius of 6378.145 km, assumed to be situated at the focus of the orbital ellipse. The value for the orbital period is the Anomalistic Period, or time to complete one circuit of the ellipse. It is not the same as the time taken to complete one circuit of the Earth. Care should be exercised when comparing Orbital Focus data with other published orbits because they may have been derived using a different model.

Users can go straight to specific launches by pointing to the page URL followed by the three digit launch number, eg - https://www.OrbitalFocus/Diaries/Launches/Launches.php?year=2009#001

You can keep up to date with changes or mission events by following Orbital Focus at Blue Sky.

Phase 1 operational satellite in China's navigation satellite system. It also provides time and messaging services for the Asia-Pacific region from geosynchronous orbit. Entered GEO near 85° east but then drifted westward along the geosynchronous arc. It returned to 85° east during 2011 but was allowed to drift further, indicating that the navigation payload was not fully functional - relegating it to a test mode. It may have been used as a test vehicle for navigation in regions away from the Asia-Pacific region.

Supplies and crew to ISS. Successful launch on the sixth attempt. Delayed by fuelling leak and conflict with LRO/LCROSS after previous launch attempts Jun 13 and Jun 17. Postponed again from Jul 11, Jul 12 and Jul 13 due to thunderstorms around KSC. Carrying JEM - external extension for Japanese Kibo module. Crew of Mark Polansky, Doug Hurley, Dave Wolf, Chris Cassidy, Julie Payette, Tom Marshburn and Tim Kopra. Docked 2009 Jul 17 at 1747 UTC. Undocked 2009 Jul 28 at 17:26 UTC. During the undocked period, Endeavour released the ANDE 2 canister that, in turn, released the two small satellites Castor and Pollux. Retro-fire 2009 Jul 31 at 1341 UTC led to a landing on the Kennedy Space Center runway at 1448 UTC.

Supplies to ISS. Precise launch time 10:56:56 UTC. Originally planned for June 24. Longer than usual (5 days vs 2 days) approach to ISS due to sticking with the planned launch time but delaying docking, which occurred Jul 29 at 1112 UTC with the aft port of Zvezda, until after departure of STS-127/Endeavour. Undocked Sep 21 at 07:25 UTC . Retrofire 2009 Sep 27 led to destructive re-entry with any fragments hitting the surface of the southern Pacific Ocean at 0933 UTC.

2009-F03 - failed to reach orbit Naro 1 Naro Space Centre, South Korea						2009 Aug 25, 08:00
STSat 2
South Korean research satellite for solar observation, also equipped with a laser ranging device to measure orbit height. Half of the launch vehicle payload fairing failed to separate at L+540.8s. The extra mass prevented the rocket from reaching orbit. It followed a sub-orbital trajectory to 360km then fell back and burned up on re-entry.

Supplies to ISS. Captured by Remote Manipulator Arm Sep 17 at 19:51 UTC and berthed with the Harmony module Sep 18 at 01:59 UTC. Unberthed Oct 31 at 15:02 UTC and released into free flight at 17:31 UTC after a 90 minute delay due to close approach by an item of space debris. Retro-fire for seven minutes starting Nov 20:53 UTC led to re-entry at 21:26 over the southern Pacific Ocean with any unburnt fragments hitting the oean surface about 12 minutes later.
