  • Electric Propulsion for Station Keeping and Electric Orbit Raising on Eutelsat Platforms
    Electric Propulsion for Station Keeping and Electric Orbit Raising on Eutelsat Platforms 2015-b/IEPC-97 Presented at Joint Conference of 30th International Symposium on Space Technology and Science 34th International Electric Propulsion Conference and 6th Nano-satellite Symposium, Hyogo-Kobe, Japan July 4 – 10, 2015 C. Casaregola1 Eutelsat, Paris, 75015, France Abstract: With a fleet of 34 geostationary satellites and more than 30 years of service from space, Eutelsat is today Europe’s most long-standing satellite operator and one of the world’s leading satellite operators. The first two platforms using Electric Propulsion procured are SESAT-1 (EUTELSAT 16C) and KA-SAT, for which Electric Propulsion is limited to on-station operations. The successful demonstration of sustained capability of Electric Propulsion for these two platforms in addition to the extensive flight heritage with no significant anomalies demonstrated in the last decades on both commercial and scientific platforms, prove the high level of maturity reached by Electric Propulsion systems. Based on that and due to new attractive launch options, one full-electric platform - EUTELSAT 115 West B – has been procured and launched in March 2015. The launch of EUTELSAT 115 West B is a key milestone for telecom platforms as it makes Eutelsat the first Operator to use Electric Propulsion for a complete electric orbit raising. Two additional platforms – EUTELSAT 117 West B and EUTELSAT 172 B - are under procurement and will perform complete electric orbit raising as well. An overview of Eutelsat platforms using Electric Propulsion for station keeping and electric orbit raising is given in the paper.

    PRESS RELEASE NUEVATEL CALLS ON SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES TO REACH NEW MOBILE MARKETS ACROSS BOLIVIA GSM backhaul over satellite delivers VIVA cell phone service to remote businesses and communities WASHINGTON, D.C. – June 1, 2009 – With its broad coverage across Latin America, SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES, a division of SES S.A. (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG), today announced at the ITW conference in Washington, D.C. that Nuevatel PCS de Bolivia has signed a three-year agreement for satellite-delivered GSM backhaul to extend its mobile phone and public telephony services into rural and remote villages and communities across Bolivia. As part of the deal, Nuevatel is tapping 12.1 megahertz of Ku-band capacity aboard the NSS-7 satellite to offer its popular VIVA mobile phone and public telephony services beyond the big cities of La Paz, Santa Cruz and Cochabamba into isolated and unconnected communities like Antahuagana. “By using the reach of the SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES NSS-7 satellite, Nuevatel is extending precious cellular connectivity into many of Bolivia’s most remote towns and villages, which can benefit greatly from their newfound communications capabilities,” said Dolores Martos, Vice President of Latin America and Caribbean sales for SES AMERICOM-NEW SKIES. “We are honored to be working with Nuevatel, as one of Bolivia’s largest mobile phone service providers creates new opportunities and connectivity for both residents and businesses throughout some of the most remote regions of the country.” “GSM backhaul delivered over the NSS-7 satellite is enabling Nuevatel to break through traditional cost and geographical barriers to effectively and efficiently offer cellular service in the most rural and hard to reach areas of Bolivia where terrestrial services cannot go,” said Leonardo Saunero, Vice President of Regulations, Nuevatel PCS de Bolivia.

  • Photo Release -- Space Systems/Loral-Built Telstar 11N Satellite on Track with Post Launch Maneuvers
    Photo Release -- Space Systems/Loral-Built Telstar 11N Satellite On Track With Post Launch Maneuvers Solar Arrays Deployed On Schedule Following Successful Launch PALO ALTO, Calif., Feb 27, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX News Network) -- Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), a subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications (Nasdaq:LORL) and the leading provider of commercial satellites, today announced that the Telstar 11N satellite built for Telesat, one of the world's leading fixed satellite services operators, is performing post launch maneuvers according to plan. The satellite's solar arrays deployed on schedule several hours after separation, following yesterday's successful launch aboard a Zenit-3SLB rocket from the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan. Tomorrow the satellite will begin firing its thrusters to maneuver into its final geosynchronous orbit. A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=5941 "We are proud to know that this high-power satellite will help make information and entertainment more accessible around the world," said John Celli, President and Chief Operating Officer of Space Systems/Loral. "Telstar 11N demonstrates the flexibility of our standard 1300 satellite platform, which in this case was engineered to accommodate a smaller launch vehicle. It is this flexibility together with long term proven reliability that have helped SS/L achieve more than 40 percent market share over the past five years." When it reaches its final geosynchronous orbit, Telstar 11N will support video and data applications in North America, Western Europe, and Africa. Space Systems/Loral designed the satellite with a unique Atlantic Ocean beam, which will help Telesat meet growing demand for mobile broadband from both commercial and government customers in shipping and aviation.

  • Classification of Geosynchronous Objects
    esoc European Space Operations Centre Robert-Bosch-Strasse 5 D-64293 Darmstadt Germany T +49 (0)6151 900 www.esa.int CLASSIFICATION OF GEOSYNCHRONOUS OBJECTS Produced with the DISCOS Database Prepared by ESA’s Space Debris Office Reference GEN-DB-LOG-00211-OPS-GR Issue 20 Revision 0 Date of Issue 28 May 2018 Status Issued Document Type Technical Note Distribution ESA UNCLASSIFIED - Limited Distribution European Space Agency Agence spatiale europeenne´ Abstract This is a status report on geosynchronous objects as of 1 January 2018. Based on orbital data in ESA’s DISCOS database and on orbital data provided by KIAM the situation near the geostationary ring is analysed. From 1523 objects for which orbital data are available (of which 0 are outdated, i.e. the last available state dates back to 180 or more days before the reference date), 519 are actively controlled, 795 are drifting above, below or through GEO, 189 are in a libration orbit and 19 are in a highly inclined orbit. For 1 object the status could not be determined. Furthermore, there are 59 uncontrolled objects without orbital data (of which 54 have not been cata- logued). Thus the total number of known objects in the geostationary region is 1582.
