Salim Essa
Salim Aziz Essa (born 15 January 1978), is a South African known for his links to the Gupta family, alongside which he stands accused of state capture and various other forms of criminal and fraudulent activity. Essa owns shares in several Gupta family companies and was the supposedly sole shareholder in VR Laser Asia, a company later revealed to have been controlled by the Gupta family. When South African banks withdrew services from the Gupta family and their companies, Essa and a partner attempted to acquire Habib Overseas Bank. This was interpreted as a mechanism to protect Gupta assets. Essa started in business as a trader in his father's wholesalers. In June 2017 Essa sold his controlling shareholding in Trillian Holdings, a company linked to the alleged looting of state-owned enterprises. In November 2017 Eskom Eskom Hld SOC Ltd or Eskom is a South African electricity public utility. Eskom was established in 1923 as the Electricity Supply Commission (ESCOM) (). Esk ...

ESSA-7
ESSA-7 (or TOS-E) was a spin-stabilized operational meteorological satellite. Its name was derived from that of its oversight agency, the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA). Launch ESSA-7 was launched on August 16, 1968, at 11:31 UTC. It was launched atop a Delta rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, USA. The spacecraft had a mass of at the time of launch. ESSA-7 had an inclination of 101.72°, and an orbited the Earth once every 114.9 minutes. Its perigee was and its apogee An apsis (; ) is the farthest or nearest point in the orbit of a planetary body about its primary body. The line of apsides (also called apse line, or major axis of the orbit) is the line connecting the two extreme values. Apsides perta ... was .

ESSA-6
ESSA 6 (or TOS-D) was a spin-stabilized operational meteorological satellite. Its name was derived from that of its oversight agency, the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA). Details ESSA 6 had a mass of at the time of launch. The satellite's electrical power was supplied by about 10,000 1x2 cm solar cells on the cover and 21 nickel-cadmium batteries. Two redundant wide-angle APT (Automatic Picture Transmission) cameras, mounted on opposite sides and perpendicular to the spin axis, captured images. This subsystem was a camera-transmitter setup, designed to transmit real-time daylight images of cloud cover to ground stations. It included two 2.54-cm vidicon cameras with lenses, mounted 180° apart. Each orbit, the cameras captured four or eight images, with picture taking lasting 8 seconds and transmission 200 seconds. The 800-line images were transmitted at 137.5 MHz to local APT stations, with reticle marks on the images to assist with geographical ...

ESSA-5 (or TOS-C) was a spin-stabilized operational meteorological satellite. Its name was derived from that of its oversight agency, the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA). Launch ESSA-5 was launched on April 20, 1967, at 11:17 UTC. It was launched atop a Delta rocket from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, U.S.. The spacecraft had a mass of at the time of launch. ESSA-5 had an inclination of 101.9°, and an orbited the Earth once every 113.6 minutes.

ESSA-4
ESSA-4 (or TOS-B) was a spin-stabilized operational meteorological satellite. Its name was derived from that of its oversight agency, the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA). Background ESSA 4 was launched to replace ESSA 2, launched February 3, 1966, which had drifted into an orbit of limited usefulness. The satellite was financed, managed, and operated by the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA). Spacecraft The cartwheel-shaped spacecraft carried two Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) systems, with which it could instantly transmit photos of Earth's cloudcover to APT ground stations. Launch ESSA-4 was launched on January 26, 1967, at 17:31 UTC. It was launched atop a Delta (rocket family), Delta rocket from Vandenberg Space Launch Complex 2, into Sun-synchronous orbit. ESSA-4 had an inclination of 102°, and an orbited the Earth once every 113.4 minutes. Its perigee was and its apogee was . The satellite properly aligned itself wit ...

ESSA-3
ESSA 3 (or TOS-A) was a spin-stabilized operational meteorological satellite. Its name was derived from that of its oversight agency, the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA). Operation The satellite's skeleton was made of aluminum and stainless steel and had the shape of a prism with an eighteen-sided base. Power was supplied by 12,000 1x2 cm Solar cell, photovoltaic cells arranged on its sides, which were used to charge 21 Nickel–cadmium battery, NiCd batteries. Stabilization in orbit was provided by rotational movement at a speed of 9.2 revolutions per minute, maintained by a magnetic Spacecraft attitude control, attitude control system (MASC, ''Magnetic Attitude Spin Coil''). Its actuator was a coil, and the torque necessary for position control was generated by the interaction of the Earth's magnetic field with the magnetic field induced in the satellite. An additional stabilization system was provided by five Constant current, constant-current engines ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
