[QUOTE="william-1, post: 919385, member: 193781"] ABS-3A, a communication satellite manufactured by Boeing Space Systems, was launched into the geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) by SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in March 2015. The satellite, placed at 3°W longitude orbital position, is operated by Asia Broadcasting Satellite (ABS). It will support television distribution, internet and mobile phone connectivity, and maritime services with Ku-band coverage over the Americas, Europe, South Africa and the Middle East, as well as North Africa (MENA) region. ABS-3A satellite design features The ABS-3A satellite was designed, assembled and manufactured by Boeing Space Systems. It has a launch mass of 1,954kg and includes two single-axis drive solar arrays fitted with four panels per wing, and UIJ gallium arsenide cells. "The ABS-3A satellite was designed, assembled and manufactured by Boeing Space Systems." The satellite is based on the 702SP platform designed by Boeing Network & Space Systems and Phantom Works. Its 702SP bus operates in the low to mid-power range between 3kW and 7.5kW. ABS-3A is the first satellite platform based on an all-electric propulsion system, including four Xenon ion thrusters. [ATTACH=full]74676[/ATTACH] Its lightweight design minimises the spacecraft launch mass and maximises available payload. Communication capabilities of the ABS-3A satellite The ABS-3A carries 24 C-band and 24 Ku-band transponders, which use linear (H&V) polarisation. It delivers a global beam, with three C-band beams covering the Americas, the Middle East and Africa regions. [url]http://www.absatellite.net/satellite-fleet/?sat=abs3a[/url] [/QUOTE]
