AVASCENT | 3 Space is becoming more crowded all the time, and space industry professionals must keep abreast of a number of orbit-related issues 1. What are industry revenues and which satellites drive these? 2. How is the industry changing over the next decade? 3. What about all of these new constellations of small satellites we hear about? 4. If I want to launch or invest in a new satellite or satellite venture, what do I need to know about getting on orbit?

    Ka-Band Satellite Consumer Triple-Play and Professional Video Services

    Ka-Band Satellite Consumer Triple-Play and Professional Video Services Guillaume Benoit, Hector Fenech, Stefano Pezzana, and Alessia Tomatis Eutelsat, 70 rue Balard, 75015 Paris, France +33 1 53 98 47 47 {gbenoit,hfenech,spezzana,atomatis}@eutelsat.fr Abstract. This article presents Eutelsat European Ka-band implementation of the broadband ToowayTM service and its evolution through a dedicated Ka-band exclusive satellite (KA-SAT). It also explains Eutelsat’s choice in se- lecting the Ka-band for interactive services, broadcast video and IPTV ser- vices, demonstrating the optimal consumer service synergy between existing Ku-band and new Ka-band services. KA-SAT satellite is not focusing only on consumer triple-play services. In- deed, Eutelsat strategy consists in offering also professional video and data services in Ka-band (video distribution, video contribution, e-cinema, file transport) sharing the same transparent satellite bandwidth and the same ground segment infrastructure. For those professional video applications the last content processing (SVC) and satellite transport (DVB-S2 ACM) techniques are under deployment and this paper will present simulation results and link budgets estimations for a large number of future commercial applications. 1 Introduction Eutelsat operates 25 satellites in the geostationary arc from 15°W to 70.5°E offering a variety of services from corporate networks to broadcasting. The HOT BIRD™ con- stellation at 13°E constitutes the prime position for DTH (Direct to Home) and cable broadcasting, utilizing the full Ku-band spectrum from 10.70 GHz to 12.75 GHz. There are 102 transponders delivering about 1400 TV channels. The HOT BIRD™ service area reaches some 120 million satellite and cable households.

Even if you were to use a Ka-band LNB you would not be successfull: an Internet-via- Satellite service such as Tooway, available from the HOTBIRD 6 satellite, uses a different transmission mode.

Neither view is relevant today. Although the competitive nature of technological achievement and the wish to explore space will never end, the most important role space serves today is as critical infrastructure for the world. This report, Bringing Space Down to Earth, demonstrates how important space is in our daily lives, particularly in times of crisis.

Scheduled launches listed in this report are vehicle/payload combinations that have been identified in open sources, including industry references, company manifests, periodicals, and government documents. Note that such dates are subject to change. This report highlights commercial launch activities, classifying commercial launches as one or more of the following: • Internationally competed launch events (i.e., launch opportunities considered available in principle to competitors in the international launch services market), • Any launches licensed by the Office of the Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation of the Federal Aviation Administration under U.S.
