AsiaSat 5 is a communications satellite owned by Asia Satellite Telecommunications Company Limited , based in Hong Kong.
It was built by Space Systems / Loral on the basis of the SS / L-1300LL satellite bus and on August 11, 2009 at 19:47 ( UTC ) by International Launch Services (ILS) with the Russian launch vehicle Proton-M / Bris- M from the Baikonur rocket launch site into space. After nine hours and fifteen minutes of flight time at 5:02 a.m. UTC, the satellite was launched in geotransfer orbit with a perigee of approximately 17,949 kilometers, an apogee of approximately 35,786 kilometers above the earth and an inclination of just over six degrees. The satellite achieved the transition to geostationary orbit using its own engines. Its lifespan is expected to be 15 years.
AsiaSat 5 replaces AsiaSat 2 , which was also previously positioned at 100.5 ° East . It carries 26 C-band transponders and a 3.5 x 2.4 m large antenna covering all Asia, and 14 Ku-band - transponders , the m with a 3.5 x 2.4 large receiving antenna, a 1 , 5 m and a controllable 1.2 m large transmitting / receiving antenna, which are to supply the south and east of Asia.
reception
The satellite can be received in Asia as well as parts of the Pacific region.
