What will #SpektrRG's final orbit be? Heliocentric?
The second (crucial) engine firing of the Block DM-03 stage in today's #SpektrRG launch to come in an hour, when the spacecraft almost completes its first orbit around the Earth. Here is my estimate of the ground track: http://russianspaceweb.com/spektr-rg-launch-attempt2.html …pic.twitter.com/zm96JyZEFa

Aha! A second Block DM engine firing at T+plus 1 hour, 37 minutes, will send the Spektr-RG spacecraft on a trajectory to arrive at the L2 Lagrange point nearly a million miles (1.5 million kilometers) away from Earth in the coming months: https://www.24live.co/live/GG03O

:) but it is actually Earth's rotation reverses the ground track of flight as the spacecraft begins moving away from Earth rather than around it.
