Intelsat 10-02 is a television satellite of the International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium ( Intelsat ) based in Luxembourg. It was built by the EADS Astrium company and launched into space on June 16, 2004 with the Russian Proton-M / Bris-M launch vehicle from the Russian spaceport Baikonur in Kazakhstan . Its lifespan is expected to be 13 years.
Intelsat 10-02 replaces the Intelsat 707 , which was previously also positioned at 1 ° West , which is now at 53 ° West.
Half of the active Ku-band transponders are leased from Telenor , a Norwegian telecommunications company that operates the Thor 5 and Thor 6 satellites, which are also positioned at 1 ° West . Telenor also names the satellite Thor 10-02 .
A special feature are the 268 kg solar panels from Germany, which also drive the electric engines. They are so-called hybrid cells because solar cells made of silicon and gallium arsenide are used. With the two booms, each 21.5 m long, four of the five panels on each wing are equipped with solar cells made of silicon and a more efficient cell made of gallium arsenide.
In addition to the Intelsat 10-02, a second satellite of this series was supposed to be launched with the Intelsat 10-01, but the order was canceled by the manufacturer Astrium in November 2002 after a nine-month delivery delay.
reception
The satellite can be received in Europe , Africa , South America , the Middle East as well as parts of North America and Asia . The transmission takes place in the C and Ku bands .
