KHAN* (Received (Received on August 27, 1990) ABSTRACT In In 1962, Canada became the third nation in the world, after Soviet Union and the United States, States, to pioneer satellite communication. Sine 巴then it has enjoyed a series of impressive firs: it was the first country to establish a commercial satellite communication system, the first to experiment experiment with direct broadcast satellite systems and the first to conceive a mobile communica- tions tions systems via satellite. In future application of highly sophisticated synthetic aperture radar satellite satellite for remote sensing, surveying etc. are planned. In this paper an overview of Canadian Satellite Satellite Communication Program will be presented. 1. 1. Introduction Canada has a land area of almost 0I million square kilometers and a population of 24 million people. people. Although 75 % of its population live in urban areas that are within 350 kilometers of the Canadian-US border, these communities are spread out on an direction east-west by more than 4000 kilometers. In addition there are many small, relatively isolated communities located in the north. north. Providing a reliable communication and broadcasting services to such a widely dispersed population population using conventional terrestrial systems could be a major technical and financial problem. problem. As a result Canadian Government and industry were quick to appreciate the potential of satellite satellite communication for domestic and international use and capitalize on it.

  • Ciel-2 Satellite Now Operational
    CIEL-2 SATELLITE NOW OPERATIONAL Satellite Completes all Testing and Begins Commercial Service at 129 Degrees West February 5th, 2009 – Ottawa, Canada – The Ciel Satellite Group today announced that its first communications satellite, Ciel-2, has completed all in-orbit testing and has now entered commercial service at the 129 degrees West Longitude orbital position. The new satellite was launched last December 10 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan, and will be providing high-definition (HD) television services to the North American market, primarily for anchor customer DISH Network Corporation. “We are very pleased that Ciel-2 has successfully completed all of its initial testing, and are excited about its entry into commercial operations,” said Brian Neill, Executive Chairman of Ciel. “The support of many parties, particularly our shareholders and Industry Canada, has been central to our success, and we look forward to a bright future of serving customers for many years to come throughout North America.” About Ciel-2 Built by Thales Alenia Space, Ciel-2 is the largest Spacebus class spacecraft ever built, weighing 5,592 kg at launch; Ciel-2 is expected to operate for at least 15 years. The new BSS spacecraft is capable of serving all regions of Canada visible from 129 degrees West, as well as the larger North American market. The Ciel Satellite Group was awarded the license for 129 degrees West by Industry Canada in October 2004. Ciel-2 will be operated from the new Satellite Operations Centre at SED Systems located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The Ciel-2 satellite is designed to provide 10.6 kilowatts of power to the communications payload at end of life, which consists of 32 Ku-band transponders.

  • The Need for Detailed Ionic Composition of the Near-Earth Plasma
    HeliophysicsHELIO 2050 2050 White Papers (2021) R. Ilie4094.pdf THE NEED FOR DETAILED IONIC COMPOSITION OF THE NEAR-EARTH PLASMA An impressive body of work has been devoted to the escape of H+, He+ and O+ ions from Earth’s ionosphere, and their circulation and redistribution throughout the terrestrial magneto- sphere (Schunk and Raitt, 1980; Schunk and Sojka, 1997; Winglee et al., 2002; Glocer et al., 2009; Ilie et al., 2015; Ilie and Liemohn, 2016). However, the transport and energization of N+, in addi- tion to that of O+, has not been considered by most studies, even though a number of direct and indirect measurements made to describe the ionic composition of the ionosphere-magnetosphere system, have established that N+ is a significant ion species in the ionosphere and its presence in the magnetosphere is significant. A wide range in the magnitude oftheN+ to O+ density ratio has been reported, with significant variations not only with geomagnetic activity, but also with solar cycle, season, time of day, latitude, etc (Mall et al., 2002; Christon et al., 2002). These vari- ations suggest that N+ and O+, while relatively close in mass, they obey different chemical and energization processes, and possibly follow different paths of energization. In addition, observations from the WIND STICS ISIS 2 spacecraft (Hoffman et al., 1974) indicated that not only N+, but also molecular ions were ob- served in the Earth’s magnetosphere Geotail STICS AMPTE and ionosphere. Measurements from CCE Explorer 31 Akebono SMS the Arase satellite (Miyoshi et al., MMS ISIS-2 IMS DE-1 RIMSS e-POP 2018) showed the existence of molec- OGO-6 OGOGO-2-2 IMSS Sputnik3 IMS AE-C ular ions in the Earth’s ring cur- RMS IMS rent region, even under moderate ge- omagnetic storm conditions.

  • Telesat Completes Agreements for Satellite Capacity with Bell TV and Echostar Corporation
    Telesat Completes Agreements for Satellite Capacity with Bell TV and EchoStar Corporation Bell TV Commits to Construction of New Canadian Broadcast Satellite and EchoStar Will Use Entire Available Nimiq 5 Payload OTTAWA, Sep. 17, 2009 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX News Network) -- Telesat, the world's fourth largest fixed satellite services operator, announced today that it has completed agreements for new satellite capacity with two of its key customers, Bell TV and EchoStar Corporation (Nasdaq: SATS). Bell TV, the leading provider of direct-to-home services in Canada, has agreed to utilize a new Telesat direct broadcast satellite which is planned for construction beginning in the first quarter of 2010. The new satellite will augment Bell TV's capacity and capabilities at its prime orbital locations of 82 and 91 degrees West. EchoStar, which had previously contracted for half the capacity of Telesat's new Nimiq 5 satellite, has now committed to use the entire available Nimiq 5 payload for the anticipated 15-year life of the satellite. "We are very pleased to have entered into arrangements that meet the strategic requirements of Bell TV and EchoStar, two longstanding and important Telesat customers," said Dan Goldberg, Telesat's President and CEO. "We look forward to the launch of Nimiq 5 scheduled for later today and beginning construction on the new satellite for Bell TV early next year." Nimiq 5 is scheduled for launch on a Proton rocket September 18th from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan (September 17th in Ottawa) and is intended to operate in geostationary orbit from 72.7 degrees West.
