Intelsat 33e was designed and manufactured by Boeing on the Boeing 702MP satellite bus. [1] [2] It had a launch mass of 6,600 kg (14,600 lb) and a design life of more than 15 years. When stowed for launch, the satellite measured 7.9 m × 3.8 m × 3.2 m (26 ft × 12 ft × 10 ft). [9]
Intelsat 39, also known as IS-39, is a geostationary communications satellite operated by Intelsat and designed and manufactured by Space Systems/Loral (now subsidiary of Maxar Technologies) on the SSL 1300 satellite bus. It covers Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Middle East from the 62° East longitude. It has a mixed C-band and Ku-band. [2]
The WGS system is composed of three principal segments: Space Segment (satellites), Control Segment (operators) and Terminal Segment (users). Each WGS satellite provides service in multiple frequency bands, with the unprecedented ability to cross-band between the two frequencies on board the satellite. WGS augments other satellites. [3]
Safety of Life is a civilian-use signal, broadcast on the L5 frequency (1176.45 MHz). In 2009, a WAAS satellite sent the initial L5 signal test transmissions. SVN-62, the first GPS block IIF satellite, continuously broadcast the L5 signal starting on 28 June 2010.
Built by Boeing Satellite Systems, WGS 11+ is based on the BSS-702X (HS376++) satellite bus. It has a mass at launch of 5,987 kg (13,199 lb) and is expected to operate for fourteen years. It has a mass at launch of 5,987 kg (13,199 lb) and is expected to operate for fourteen years.
Galaxy 19 is a communications satellite owned by Intelsat located at 97° West longitude, serving the North American market. Galaxy 19 replaced Galaxy 25 which is nearing the end of its design life and has been moved to 93.1°W longitude. It was built by Space Systems/Loral, as part of its FS-1300 line.
The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is an area where Earth's inner Van Allen radiation belt comes closest to Earth's surface, dipping down to an altitude of 200 kilometres (120 mi). This leads to an increased flux of energetic particles in this region and exposes orbiting satellites (including the ISS ) to higher-than-usual levels of ionizing ...
Landsat 8 is an American Earth observation satellite launched on 11 February 2013. It is the eighth satellite in the Landsat program; the seventh to reach orbit successfully. . Originally called the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), it is a collaboration between NASA and the United States Geological Survey (USG
