The HTS 113BT, built on Thales Alenia Space's Spacebus 4000B2 platform, will provide over 32 Gbps capacity over Indonesia.
Definitions:
– Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO): A high Earth orbit that allows satellites to synchronize with the Earth’s rotation, ultimately positioning the satellite in a geostationary orbit.
– C-band: A range of the electromagnetic spectrum (4 to 8 GHz) used for satellite communications.
– Ku-band: A spectrum in the microwave frequencies (12 to 18 GHz) used extensively for satellite communication.
– Fairings: Structures used to protect a payload during its passage through the Earth’s atmosphere.
Built on Thales Alenia Space's Spacebus-4000B2 platform, HTS 113BT will provide more than 32 Gbps capacity over Indonesia from its orbital position at 113° East.
