Nowa generacja satelitów Ka-band dla Europy

Ka-Sat

New-generation Ka-band satellite for a bigger Europe

In January 2008, Astrium was selected by Eutelsat to deliver the first European multi-beam satellite to operate exclusively in Ka-band and dedicated to providing broadband and broadcast services across the wider Europe. The satellite, currently designated as Ka-Sat, will be launched in 2010 and positioned at 13° East in geostationary orbit.

Based on the Eurostar E3000 platform developed by Astrium, Ka-Sat will operate more than 80 spot beams simultaneously, which makes it the largest multi-beam Ka-band satellite ever ordered worldwide. The satellite will feature a high level of frequency re-use and a flexible assignment of resources to adjust to market demand. Weighing less than 5.8 tonnes at launch, the large spacecraft is equipped with four multi-feed deployable antennas with enhanced pointing accuracy, and will be able to operate at a payload power of more than 11 kW throughout its 15-year design lifetime.

The new satellite marks a material step forward in multi-beam satellites that are already demonstrating their efficiency in the market for broadband Internet access, HDTV and local and regional television for users located in rural areas in North America.

Ka-Sat is the 17th satellite commissioned by Eutelsat from Astrium, and the 23rd Eurostar E3000 ordered.
