Hellas-Sat 2

 2003-020A

---

Astrium Eurostar 2000+ satellite. Original construction: Intelsat K-TV.

Built by Astrium SAS/Toulouse. 178E location Asia-Pacific satellite to be partly leased by Sinosat. Intelsat K-TV is Intelsat's first satellite dedicated to direct TV broadcasting. The satellite will be built by Matra Marconi Space and may be the first of three. It will be stationed to provide service for Asia.

Hellas Sat Consortium Ltd, Athenai and Nicosia,Cyprus, will launch a sat to 39E. It is a joint Greek/Cypriot satellite. Astrium Eurostar E2000+ with 3250 kg mass. Size 4.9h x 1.7 x 2.5, span 32m.

(A HellasSat presentation claimed a mass of 4150 kg full, 1729 kg dry but all other data indicates a launch mass in the 3000-3500 kg range).

Consortium includes Avacom Net (Cyprus), Hellenic Telecom Organization (OTE), Cyprus Bank of Development, Hellenic Aerospace Industry, Telesat Canada. Control supported by SES Astra, using Thermopylae station.

The Atlas 401 uses an SEC Centaur.
