Thaicom 1

 1993-078B

---

Thaicom 1 was the first lightweight HS-376L model, using a Star 30BP solid apogee motor and with a dry mass of only 436 kg. The satellite carried 644 kg of fuel at launch, with 193 kg remaining at BOL, for masses of 1080 kg and 629 kg respectively. The HS-376L satellite was 2.16m in dia, 2.6 m high at launch, with a height of 6.7 m after deployment of the solar panel skirt and antennas.

Thaicom was built for the Shinawatra Satellite Co, Bangkok, Thailand, a subsidiary of the Shinawatra Computer and Communications Group (SC&C;). It was launched as a Spelda Dedicated Satellite payload (SDS) on Ariane. The Ariane SPELDA, VEB and associated equipment had a mass of 1353 kg, and the dry mass of the H10+ third stage was 1242 kg.

In Jul 1997 Thaicom 1 was moved to 120E and renamed Thaicom 1A.
