1985-076B
The Aussat satellites were owned by the company Aussat Pty. of Australia; three HS376 satellites were built for the project to provide Australian domestic satellite communications. Aussat carried 15 Ku-band transponders, whose direct broadcast capacity was used by the Australian Broadcasting Co. (ABC).
The Aussat K1 apogee burn left it in a 1284 min orbit; a burn the next day raised the orbit to 1318 min and then on Sep 1 to 1421 min, in the geostationary ring. Archival elements for early 1993 are double valued, one subset remaining at 160E and another subset moving to 164E and staying there for several months. The orbit was raised in mid 1993.
