• TIME IN ORBIT TERRA
365 DAYSTHE TIME IT TAKES FOR THE EARTH TO MAKE ONE
COMPLETE REVOLUTION IS 365 DAYS, 5 HOURS, 48 MINUTES AND 46
SECONDS (APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR).

• COUNTRY TERRA
EARTH IS THE FIFTH LARGEST PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AND
THE ONLY ONE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING LIFE. IT HAS A SPHERICAL
SHAPE WITH A LEVEL OF FLATTENING AT THE POLES, AND 12,756
KM IN DIAMETER AT THE HEIGHT OF THE EQUATOR (AN
EQUATORIAL RADIUS OF 6,378.1 KILOMETERS).
TYPE OF SATÉLITE TERRA

NATURAL SATELLITE
ASTRONOMY, A SATELLITE IS AN OBJECT THAT ORBITS ANOTHER
LARGER OBJECT. THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF SATELLITES, NATURAL
AND ARTIFICIAL.

• MISSION TYPE TERRA

CYGNSS mesures Surface winds in the oceans, using a bi-
static radar with the signal from GNSS satellites such as
GPS, a technique known as GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R).10
11 Each CYGNSS satellite receives the direct signal from
the GNSS satellite and the corresponding reflection on the
Earth's surface; Using the direct signal the exact position
of CYGNSS is known, and by computing the reflected one,
information about the reflecting surface can be obtained.
One of the things that can be detected is the roughness of
the sea surface, which is related to the speed of the wind.6
Using a network of eight satellites, a maximum review time
of approximately 7 hours is obtained. The eight micro-
satellites orbit with an inclination of 35° with respect to
the equator, which limits coverage to equatorial areas up
to approximately ±40º latitude, and each one is capable of
measuring and sensing reflections from 4 GNSS emitters
simultaneously, taking data at a rate of one
measurement per second.

. OPERATOR TERRA
The Orbital ATK company launched a Pegasus
XL rocket (mission 43) on December 15, 2016 at
13:37 UTC from the Lockheed L-1011 Stargazer
aircraft while flying over the coast of
Florida near Cape Canaveral. The payload
was eight satellites from NASA's CYGNSS
constellation. The total mass of the payload
at launch was 345.6 kg. According to the
Orbital ATK manifesto, this was the
penultimate launch of a Pegasus rocket (the
last one is scheduled to be launched in 2017).
This was the 80th orbital launch of 2016, the
43rd for a Pegasus rocket and the 33rd for a
Pegasus XL.

• POWER TERRA
EARTH IS A PLANET IN THE SOLAR SYSTEM THAT
REVOLVES AROUND ITS STAR – THE SUN – IN THE
THIRD INNERMOST ORBIT. IT IS THE DENSEST AND
FIFTH LARGEST OF THE EIGHT PLANETS IN THE
SOLAR SYSTEM. IT IS ALSO THE LARGEST OF THE
FOUR TERRESTRIAL OR ROCKY ONES.
