  • Clarification on the MDES's Demand Regarding Thaicom 5
    - Translation – TC-CP 020/2020 12 November 2020 Subject: Clarification on the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society’s demand regarding Thaicom 5 To: The President The Stock Exchange of Thailand Reference is made to the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (MDES)’s demand that the Company build and transfer the ownership of a new satellite to replace Thaicom 5 or otherwise pay MDES compensation in an amount equal to the price of a new satellite, which has resulted in a dispute to be resolved by arbitration. Thaicom Public Company Limited (the “Company”) would like to clarify that the Company has already fulfilled its obligation to launch satellites as required by the terms of the Concession. Therefore, the Company has no obligation to build a new satellite to replace Thaicom 5 as demanded by MDES. In addition, currently there are still two other satellites, i.e. Thaicom 4 and Thaicom 6, in operation, the ownership of which the Company has transferred to MDES. The operational life of the two satellites is also beyond the term of the Concession, and MDES has the right to manage the two satellites thereafter. The Concession was entered into nearly 30 years ago, with the parties agreeing to the terms regarding the work plan and principles for contract implementation which reflected the plan which had been proposed by the Company and approved by MDES. The focus was on the continuity of satellite service throughout the term of the Concession. The work plan, which forms part of the Concession, states that the Company will build 2 generations of satellites, with a total of 4 satellites.

  • Ariane 5 Lifts Record Payload Into Space 11 August 2005
    Ariane 5 lifts record payload into space 11 August 2005 This morning (Aug.11) an Ariane 5G launcher lifted off from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana. On board was the largest telecommunications satellite ever to be placed into geostationary transfer orbit. The mission was initially delayed during the two- hour-long launch window to verify telemetry readings from Ariane 5's mobile launch table, and the countdown subsequently resumed for an early morning takeoff from the ELA-3 launch zone. The heavyweight THAICOM 4 (IPSTAR) satellite had a lift-off mass of almost 6500 kg. Before this morning’s launch, the record for the heaviest telecommunications satellite to be placed into orbit belonged to the Anik F2 satellite, launched by an Ariane 5 launcher in July 2004. THAICOM 4, built for Shin Satellite Plc of Thailand, will provide businesses and consumers throughout Asia, Australia and New Zealand with various levels of Internet access services. The satellite has a total data throughput capacity of over 45 Gbps. This is the fourth Shin Satellite to be launched by an Ariane vehicle. An Ariane 4 vehicle launched the first satellite in 1993. The next launch to take place from Europe’s Spaceport will be Flight 168, an Ariane 5G dual launch mission scheduled for 29 September.

  • Trends in Space Commerce
    Foreword from the Secretary of Commerce As the United States seeks opportunities to expand our economy, commercial use of space resources continues to increase in importance. The use of space as a platform for increasing the benefits of our technological evolution continues to increase in a way that profoundly affects us all. Whether we use these resources to synchronize communications networks, to improve agriculture through precision farming assisted by imagery and positioning data from satellites, or to receive entertainment from direct-to-home satellite transmissions, commercial space is an increasingly large and important part of our economy and our information infrastructure. Once dominated by government investment, commercial interests play an increasing role in the space industry. As the voice of industry within the U.S. Government, the Department of Commerce plays a critical role in commercial space. Through the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Department of Commerce licenses the operation of commercial remote sensing satellites. Through the International Trade Administration, the Department of Commerce seeks to improve U.S. industrial exports in the global space market. Through the National Telecommunications and Information Administration, the Department of Commerce assists in the coordination of the radio spectrum used by satellites. And, through the Technology Administration's Office of Space Commercialization, the Department of Commerce plays a central role in the management of the Global Positioning System and advocates the views of industry within U.S. Government policy making processes. I am pleased to commend for your review the Office of Space Commercialization's most recent publication, Trends in Space Commerce. The report presents a snapshot of U.S.

  • OFCOM SPECTRUM REVIEW (April 2012)
    OFCOM SPECTRUM REVIEW (April 2012) 1. THE IMPORTANCE OF SATELLITE ACCESS TO SPECTRUM Satellite systems and networks require hundreds of millions of Euros of investment, and years of advance planning and construction prior to deployment. Investment decisions related to development of networks are made based on the business case and require market access on reasonable terms to the countries in the footprint. Once a satellite is operational, commercial viability depends on the availability of spectrum and the applicable regulatory regimes that the satellite network will be serving. Spectrum is the essential ingredient of all wireless communications systems. As satellites are a transnational, wireless-based technology, satellite operators heavily depend upon the global spectrum allocations of the United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union (“ITU”). Satellite companies use their satellites to deliver a full range of services including among others: broadcast and other program distribution; broadband; maritime; aeronautical; government and emergency communications; telecommunications and private data networks, mobile fleet / traffic management and telemedicine. In particular, satellite has been at the forefront of digital TV & high definition television (“HDTV”) development and should also be considered as one of the best platforms for the further growth of HDTV and the development of 3-D and interactive on demand digital services in Europe. Taking advantage of the high reliability of their infrastructure, European satellite operators have also long used their networks to connect Europe and the world during the most difficult man-made and natural disasters. Furthermore, satellite is the only available means of communications able to efficiently and immediately deliver broadband to all underserved or un-served areas of Europe.
