Koreasat 5
|
Koreasat 5 will be South Korea's first combined civil and military
communications satellite. Alcatel Space will supply both the multimission
satellite and its ground control system, along with launch and early operations
phase (LEOP) support.
Based on the new-generation Spacebus-4000C1 platform from
Alcatel Space, Koreasat 5 will feature a state-of-the-art broadband payload,
including new technologies developed within the scope of the Syracuse III program.
With 36 transponders in Ku-band, C-band (civil) and SHF band (military),
Koreasat 5 will deliver advanced broadband multimedia and digital television
transmission services, along with conventional telecom services to operators in
the Asia-Pacific region.

The Spacebus 4000 expands the Alcatel Space portfolio of solutions to meet
all the demands of its customers. Spacebus 4000 can support satellites weighing
up to six metric tons and delivering 16 kW of power with 120 onboard
transponders. At the same time, they need more flexible satellites able to
fulfill a variety of missions. To guarantee compatibility with high-power
performance, Alcatel Space has also developed the new generation Avionics 4000
based on a 100 Volt power bus. Flexible, modular and fully integrated with a
central onboard computer, it is a world's first to launch an AOCS (Attitude and
Orbit Control System) with a built-in star tracker for use in Geostationary
Earth Orbit. The Spacebus 4000 is designed to accommodate the communications
services of tomorrow, such as High Definition TV and broadband multimedia.
