Astronics AeroSat requests to operate up to 1000 technically identical Ku-band transmit/receive earth stations aboard aircraft on domestic and international flights serving the business aviation and VIP aircraft market. In particular, Astronics AeroSat's aircraft earth stations would transmit in the 14.0-14.5 GHz (Earth-to-space) frequency band to the following points of communication: Galaxy 3C (S2381) space station at the 95.0° W.L. orbital location, IS-14 (S2785) space station at the 45.0° W.L. orbital location, IS-19 (S2850) space station at the 166.0° E.L. orbital location, IS-22 (S2846) space station at the 72.1° E.L. orbital location, Telstar-11N (S2357) space station at the 37.5° W.L. orbital location, Telstar-14R (S2821), also known as Estrela Do Sul 2, space station at the 63° W.L. orbital location, Telstar-12 (S2462) space station at the 15.0° W.L. orbital location, E117WA (formerly Satmex 8) (S2873) space station at the 116.8° W.L. orbital location, E172A (S2610) space station at the 172.0° E.L. orbital location, and Apstar-7 space station at the 76.5° E.L. orbital location. The aircraft earth stations would receive downlink transmissions in the 10.95-11.2 GHz band from Telstar 11N and E172A; in the 11.45-11.7 GHz frequency band from IS-14, Apstar-7, Telstar 14R, and E172A; in the 11.7-12.2 GHz frequency band from Galaxy 3C and E117WA; in the 12.2-12.75 GHz frequency band from E172A; in the 12.25-12.5 GHz frequency band from IS-22; in the 12.25-12.75 GHz frequency band from IS-19; and in the 12.5-12.75 GHz frequency band from Telstar-11N. Astronics AeroSat proposes to use the HR6400 antenna. Astronics AeroSat seeks waiver of the Table of Frequency Allocations in Section 2.106 of the Commission's rules to permit use of the 12.2-12.75 GHz (space-to-Earth) frequency band for ESAA operations outside the United States.

HOOPER CHIEF, THOR SYSTEMS ENGINEERING AEROSPACE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING DOUGLAS MISSILE & SPACE SYSTEMS DIVISION ABSTRACT This history is intended as a quick orientation source and as n ready-reference for review of the Thor and its sys­ tems. The report briefly states the development of Thor, sur'lli-:arizes and chronicles Thor missile and booster launch­ inGs, provides illustrations and descriptions of the vehicle systcn1s, relates their genealogy, explains sane of the per­ fon:iance capabilities of the Thor and Thor-based vehicles used, and focuses attention to the exploration of space by Douelas Aircraf't Company, Inc. (DAC). iii PREFACE The purpose of The Thor History is to survey the launch record of the Thor Weapon, Special Weapon, and Space Systems; give a systematic account of the major events; and review Thor's participation in the military and space programs of this nation. The period covered is from December 27, 1955, the date of the first contract award, through May, 1963.

  • 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.

  • Photo Release -- Space Systems/Loral Announces Early Delivery of Telstar 14R
    Photo Release -- Space Systems/Loral Announces Early Delivery of Telstar 14R Communications Satellite Built for Telesat Has Arrived in Kazakhstan to Begin Preparations for Late May Launch PALO ALTO, Calif., April 20, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), the world's leading provider of commercial satellites, today announced that Telstar 14R/Estrela do Sul 2 was delivered ahead of schedule for the start of its launch campaign. The satellite, designed and built for Telesat, one of the world's leading satellite operators, arrived earlier today at the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan, where it will be launched in late May aboard an ILS Proton Breeze M vehicle provided by International Launch Services (ILS). A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=9552 "It is a great credit to the combined efforts of Space Systems/Loral and Telesat that Telstar 14R/ Estrela do Sul 2 was completed in less than two years' time," said Dan Goldberg, Telesat's President and CEO. "When our newest satellite goes into service this summer, it will provide significant benefits to our current and prospective customers, including roughly double the capacity of the satellite it replaces as well as significantly improved geographic coverage and higher power." Telstar 14R/Estrela do Sul 2 is a Ku-band satellite that will deliver services to growing markets that include Brazil, the Continental United States, the North Atlantic Ocean Region, as well as the Andean and Southern Cone region of South America. The satellite has 46 Ku-band transponders and five antenna beams with on-orbit switching capability that will allow its capacity to be reconfigured depending on market demand.
