SSL 1300

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The SSL 1300 (formerly LS 1300 ) is a satellite bus manufactured by Space Systems / Loral (SSL) since the mid-1980s . This is a supply unit that enables the satellite payload to be carried and operated . The satellite bus is increasingly used in communication satellites .

properties

The SSL 1300 can continuously supply the satellite with 5  kW to 12  kW and, together with the satellite, support a take-off weight of up to 5500 kg. Standard-size satellites fit together with the SSL 1300 in a payload fairing with a diameter of 4 meters.

The SSL 1300 is constantly being developed. There are several variants and designs of the unit. In its largest version, it can have a performance improvement of up to 40% and then supply the satellite with up to 18 kW.
