MEASAT-3d is all set to launch.

 




The MEASAT-3d telecommunications satellite, developed by Airbus, is currently at Kourou, French Guiana, and will be launched on an Ariane 5 on June 22, 2022.

MEASAT-3d is Airbus' 57th E3000 satellite, and it will be collocated with MEASAT-3b, which was also manufactured by Airbus, in the 91.5°E orbital slot. This new satellite will dramatically improve broadband rates of up to 100 Mbps in parts of Malaysia with poor or no terrestrial access, while also providing redundancy and more capacity for HD, 4K, and eventually 8K video delivery in the Asia-Pacific region.

 "MEASAT-3d is based on our extremely dependable Eurostar satellite platform, which includes the current E3000 series, which has 58 in orbit and has operated successfully for over 1000 years," says Francois Gaullier, Head of Telecom Satellites at Airbus. "MEASAT is a crucial customer for us, and we're excited to see how this modern spacecraft may help them grow their company in the future."

 Apart from C and Ku-band capacity for DTH, video distribution, and telecommunications services, it also includes I an HTS Ka-band mission with multiple user spot beams optimised to deliver high-speed broadband communications over Malaysia, bridging the country's digital divide; and (ii) a Q/V band payload, the first of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region, which allows MEASAT to study the propagation effects in high-rainfall regions like Malaysia, allowing the design A L-band navigation hosted payload for the Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS) for KTSAT is also carried by the satellite.

 

MEASAT-3d is planned to have electrical output of 12kW at the end of its life, which is expected to be more than 19 years.

What if all of the satellites vanished overnight?

  All of humanity's artificial satellites mysteriously vanish one day, with no warning or apparent cause. A small group of government and business operators were the first to grasp the problem. But, before they have a chance to understand what has happened, millions of people lounging on their couches notice something is wrong. Satellite television, which is broadcast from or routed by satellites, dominates the market for international programmers as well as some local stations, hence its departure has a global impact. Travelers by air, sea, or land will be the next to be affected, as global positioning, navigation, and timing services have all but disappeared. Pilots, captains, and drivers must use analog instruments and maps to identify their locations. Aircraft, ships, and ground vehicles are all forced to come to a halt, be grounded, or return to port. Meanwhile, air traffic controllers are faced with a difficult task: preventing jet crashes. Most of the world's traffi...

Satellite Maintenance in Space: What's Next?

  High above the earth, there are thousands of satellites that circle the planet but once satellites are launched if something goes wrong how are they repaired what if they're running low on fuel for decades otherwise healthy satellites was retired to the depths of space until now the next generation of robotics in space is here preparing for its first servicing mission this revolutionary the system will change the satellite industry forever building on our pioneering mission extension vehicle the mission robotic vehicle represents a groundbreaking advancement in a spacecraft capable of repairing relocating and even building in earth's orbit using the smaller mission extension pods this technology acts as a jet pack adding years of life to vital satellites the spacecraft start their journey to their first rescue mission 22 000 miles above the earth the mrv and mep rendezvous accurate to the centimeter the fully articulating robotic arms autonomously secure and stow the extensio...
