Eutelsat 10A (formerly: Eutelsat W2A) is a communications satellite operated by Eutelsat (European Telecommunications Satellite Organization).

history

Eutelsat W2A was manufactured by Alcatel Alenia Space and is based on the 4000C4 satellite bus platform, which was also used in the Siel 2 and Eutelsat W7 satellites. The satellite was brought into a geostationary transfer orbit by a Proton-M / Breeze-M from the Baikonur spaceport on April 3, 2009 . The satellite performed the circularization for geostationary orbit with its own on-board engines. There W2A took up the position at 10 degrees east and replaced the Eutelsat W1 satellite . When Eutelsat changed the naming system of the satellites on March 1, 2012, it was named Eutelsat 10A according to its orbital position 10 ° East .

business

With (up to) 37 Ku-band transponders, telecommunication services, Internet and video data transmission in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East are to be offered through a fixed beam. With an additional beam with up to 12 transponders, South Africa and the islands of the Indian Ocean can also be covered. The C-band transmission will enable pan-African broadband data and telecommunications services with 10 transponders. S-band transmissions are broadcast towards Europe with an antenna 12 meters in diameter that can be deployed in space. The aim is a new linked (hybrid) structure of mobile and fixed services in the field of mobile communication and mobile TV that can be received in buildings.
