Realizing Resilient Tactical Networks with Maximum Government Control on High-Throughput Satellites
WHITE PAPER Realizing Resilient Tactical Networks with Maximum Government Control on High-throughput Satellites 1 Wide-beam connectivity is an essential aspect of military satellite communications and High Throughput Satellite (HTS) technology is proving to be ideally suited for many Government applications. While most satellite operators offer closed HTS architectures that are vendor-locked with very little control offered to users, the Intelsat Epic Next Generation (Epic) HTS architecture is enterprise- grade, open architecture and vendor-agnostic. Intelsat Epic allows Government and military access to bandwidth-efficient, higher data throughputs on a global-scale via a wide variety of user-chosen waveforms, modems and antennas. Intelsat is proud to present the next generation of satellite communications that features higher data throughput rates and security while offering cost-efficiencies across the board. Introduction High Throughput Satellites (HTS) have been the center of solutions. Interoperability between the various military attention for the past five years. It is important to note that branches, allied, and coalition forces continues to be a most of these systems have been purpose-built solutions to challenge. Finally, most military and government users require service homogeneous sets of users via closed architectures. operational coverage in remote and austere regions such Systems such as ViaSat Exede, Inmarsat Global Express, Hughes as deserts, jungles, and oceans—well outside of population Jupiter, and Eutelsat KA-SAT require new investments in centers for which these closed architectures are optimized. proprietary modem technologies and service architectures. These closed systems offer star-only connectivity and keep With the disconnects between these closed HTS solutions and quality of service control with the service provider, not the end the challenges faced by the Government, it is no wonder that users. -

Plasma Conditions During the Galaxy 15 Anomaly and the Possibility of ESD from Subsurface Charging
2011 AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting Plasma Conditions During the Galaxy 15 Anomaly and the Possibility of ESD from Subsurface Charging Journal: 2011 AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting Manuscript ID: Draft Conference: 49th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting Date Submitted by the n/a Author: Contact Author: Ferguson, Dale http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/aiaa-masm11 Page 1 of 14 2011 AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting Plasma Conditions During the Galaxy 15 Anomaly and the Possibility of ESD from Subsurface Charging Dale C. Ferguson1 Air Force Research Laboratory, Space Vehicles Directorate, Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico 87117 William F. Denig NOAA National Geophysical Data Center, Boulder, Colorado 80305 and Juan V. Rodriguez University of Colorado Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, Boulder, Colorado 80309 We review the fundamentals of spacecraft structure, surface and deep-dielectric charging and investigate the environmental conditions and possible spacecraft interactions at the time of the Galaxy 15 anomaly on April 5, 2010. GOES 14 measurements of 30-600 keV electron fluxes associated with an ongoing geomagnetic substorm showed extremely elevated electron temperatures and densities coincidentally peaking near the time when Galaxy 15 exited eclipse. NASCAP-2k is used to model absolute and differential charging effects on a generic satellite similar to Galaxy 15. Tables of electron and proton stopping power are used to calculate deep-dielectric charging from penetrating charged particles prior to the anomaly. Finally, we discuss the possibility that the Galaxy 15 anomaly may have been due to electrostatic discharge (ESD) as a result of surface and/or internal charging and recommend possible design considerations that might mitigate the occurrence of ESD on future spacecraft even under extreme environmental conditions. -

CABLE OPEN ACCESS AND DIRECT ACCESS TO INTELSAT Kenneth Katkint ABSTRACT The FCC is currently resolving whether cable television com- panies that provide high-speed Internet access to residential consumers should be required to furnish cable transmission capacity to unaffiliated Internet Service Providers. To resolve this controversy, the FCC has expressed a desire "to develop an analytical approach that is, to the extent possible, consistent across multiple platforms." The FCC's comment reflects the specific fact that local telephone companies which provide high-speed Internet access to residential users through Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL) currently are required to furnish transmission capacity to unaffiliated Internet Service Providers. However, the same comment can also be read more broadly, as suggesting that in a world of increasing technological convergence and increasing intermodal competition, a more universally consistent analytical paradigm is needed to resolve the many analogous disputes over competitive access to proprietary bottleneck facilities that are now arising in a broad range of communications contexts. -
A Dual Launch for Intelsat and Optus
A dual launch for Intelsat and Optus For its fourth launch of the year Arianespace will boost two communications satellites into orbit: Intelsat 11 for the international operator Intelsat, and Optus D2 for the Australian operator Optus. Both satellites were built by Orbital Sciences Corporation. Arianespace’s selection by leading satcom manufacturers and operators is clear international recognition of the company’s high-quality launch services. Ariane 5 is the only commercial launcher in service today capable of simultaneously launching two payloads. Arianespace is particularly proud of its partnership with Intelsat. Since 1983, Arianespace has launched 46 satellites for the international operator. Most re c e n t l y, Arianespace successfully launched Intelsat's Galaxy 17 satellite on May 2, 2007. Weighing about 2,500 kg at launch, the Intelsat 11 satellite was built by Orbital Sciences Corporation at its plant in Dulles, Virginia, using a Star 2 platform. The satellite is fitted with a hybrid payload comprising 34 high-power transponders, including 16 C-band and 18 Ku-band transponders. It offers 3.5 kW of electrical power. Positioned at 43 degrees West, Intelsat will host Latin America’s premier video programmers and the region’s largest DTH platform. Optus D2 will be the fourth satellite launched by Arianespace for the Australian operator. It launched Optus D1 in October 2006, following Optus & Defence C1 in June 2003 and Aussat K3 in 1987. SingTel, the parent company of Optus, had already chosen Arianespace to launch its ST-1 satellite in 1998. Orbital Sciences Corporation also integrated the Optus D2 satellite in Dulles, using a Star 2 platform. -

Classification of Geosynchronous Objects

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.
