JCSAT 3

 1995-043A


The third JCSAT satellite was an HS-601 model rather than the older spinning satellites used for JCSAT 1 and 2. It was launched on an Atlas 2AS, flight 8205/AC-117, on 1995 Aug 29. JCSAT 3 is owned by Japan Satellite Systems (JSS).

It is the first Japanese digital TV broadcasting satellite, and will be operated by DMC (Digital Multi-Channel Planning Co, Ltd), a partnership of JSAT (Japan Satellite Corp), Itochu Corp, Mitsui and Co, Ltd, Nissho Iwai Corp and Sumitomo Corp. The satellite will also provide data and fax transmission services.

JCSAT 3 was launched into a supersynchronous transfer orbit with an apogee of 80000 km. Space Command's circa-250-km initial perigee is a tracking error; the initial perigee was 167 km, a difference of 5m/s at apogee.

Telecom 2A

 1991-084A


France Telecom's Telecom 2 series used the Matra/BAe Eurostar 2000 bus. The 2200 kg satellite carried 10 C-band transponders for communications with the Departements et Terretoires d'outremer (the overseas parts of the French Republic), 11 Ku-band transponders for business communications, and 5 X-band transponders for the Syracuse military system. By 1995 Telecom 2A was mostly dedicated to military communications.
