Spot 7 is scheduled for launch in 2014, with a launch vehicle yet to be announced. Spot 6 and Spot 7 will replace the larger Spot 5 satellite, which was launched in 2002 and has been operating beyond its contracted in-orbit service life since 2008. Spot 5 has been the principal revenue generator for Astrium Geo-Information Services, the Astrium Services division that commercializes Earth observation imagery. Spot 6 and Spot 7 are expected to operate 180 degrees apart in low Earth orbit, much as the higher-resolution Pleiades satellites, the first of which was launched in December. The French government financed development of the two Pleiades satellites, and Astrium Geo-Information Services is commercializing Pleiades imagery.

National Time Service Center, CAS, Xi’an, 710600, China 2. Key Laboratory for Precision Navigation, Positioning and Timing of the CAS, Xi’an, 710600, China 3. University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing Corresponding: Yang Zhang; [email protected] Abstract: With high performance ground atomic clock and satellite retransferring feature, CAPS achieved higher positioning and timing precision than traditional GNSS. Positioning and timing high-performance verification test has been conducted by National Time Service Center (NTSC in Xi’an, China) in Xi’an city Shaanxi province. Test results show that, (1) the accuracy of the code phase timing and the carrier phase timing with single GEO satellite are better than 5 ns and 0.5ns, respectively; (2) the accuracy of the code phase positioning and the carrier phase positioning with 1 IGSO and 3 GEO satellites are better than 1.5 meters and 0.5 meters respectively. The results indicate the ability of high-precision positioning and timing of CAPS. Keywords: China Area Positioning System (CAPS), positioning and timing, test campaign 1. Introduction With the development of science and technology, many fields need more accurate real-time positioning and timing service, such as space target interception and strike need nanoseconds level timing and decimeter level positioning accuracy. Traditional GNSS can not meet the requirement. With C-band radio frequency, China Area Positioning System (CAPS), a novel regional satellite navigation system proposed by Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), can provide the high- performance positioning and timing service based on carrier phase.

    Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, DC 20554 In the Matter of ) ) Fourth Report to Congress on ) IB Docket No. 14-229 Status of Competition in the Provision of ) Satellite Services ) To: The Commission COMMENTS OF THE SATELLITE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION SATELLITE INDUSTRY ASSOCIATION Tom Stroup President 1200 18th Street, NW, Suite 1001 Washington, DC 20036 February 6, 2015 Tel. (202) 503-1561 SUMMARY The Satellite Industry Association (“SIA”) hereby responds to the International Bureau’s Public Notice requesting information on competition in the provision of satellite services. As discussed herein and in the attached 2014 State of the Satellite Industry Report, the satellite industry has continued to grow and innovate, providing an ever-increasing array of services and using spectrum more efficiently. During the 2011-2013 time frame on which the Bureau seeks comment, existing providers added capacity and new operators entered the market in every region of the globe. Meanwhile, there has been no significant change in the level of vertical integration within the industry. Despite the long lead times and substantial upfront costs that characterize the satellite industry economic structure, entry by additional competitors has continued. Indeed, one notable trend has been the establishment of new national operators, particularly in emerging markets. In addition, the past few years have seen the introduction of high throughput satellites that add significant capacity, decrease costs per unit, and permit faster broadband speeds. Furthermore, consumers of satellite services have an increasing array of alternatives available to them, including many terrestrial services that compete directly with satellite offerings. This leads to robust competition on both price and non-price factors.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, copied, archived, retained or transmitted through print, speech or electronic media without prior written approval from ORF. China's Design to Capture Regional SatCom Markets INTRODUCTION China is strategically capturing a major share of the international communications satellite market. This includes launching government satellites of developing countries in the Global South, such as Nigeria, Venezuela, Sri Lanka and Pakistan, some of whom have repeat orders in place. China has developed an ITAR-free (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) communications satellite bus known as Dong Fang Hong 4 (DFH-4) and uses its own launch vehicle Long March 3B (LM-3B) for executing these contracts. The China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) is China’s government entity authorised to negotiate and execute these contracts. This report gathers information on the key elements of these contracts to provide a broad perspective on the developments so far. It makes an assessment of the rationale for acquiring satellites, the scope of their use, as well as the problems that have subsequently arisen. The relation between satellite contracts and China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is also examined. Table 1.
