Skynet 5 Over Asia Pacific Product Brief Simon Barker, Airbus Defence and Space MILCIS 2015, Canberra September, 2015 – 1 Airbus Group | Airbus Defence and Space | Communication, Intelligence & Security | Satellite Communications | Government What is Skynet 5? Skynet 5 X-band satellites are the most powerful commercially controlled military X-band satellites launched to date. Skynet 5’s high power transponders & ability to shape beams were designed specifically to support smaller (45cm), low powered, tactical terminals deployed across multiple Theatres of Operation. idential. onf Skynet 5’s X-band is suited for the following operations: . Military . Government . Diplomatic . Humanitarian . Emergency disaster response .
