Zhongxing liu A weixing (Xinnuo liuhao), CAST DFH-4 satellite with C and Ku band for Chinasat. Launch by CZ san hao yi (CZ-3B). Xinnuo 6 also Chinastar 6A.

Zhongguo weixing tongxin jituanggongsi (China Satellite Communications Group Co., China Satcom, Chinastar or Zhongwei tongxin for short) which operated the Zhongxing satellites, was reorganized in April 2009, and transferred under China Aerospace (Zhongguo hangtian keji jituangongsi, CASC); at the same time Sinosat (Xinnuo weixing tongxin gongsi, Sino Satellite Communications Co) and the Sinosat-Chinastar joint venture Zhongguo zhibo xing youxianggongsi (China Direct Broadcast Satellite Corp) were merged into China Satcom so that the Xinnuo series of satellites were combined with the Zhongxing ones.

WGS-3

 2009-068A

---

Launch by Delta 4 Medium+(5,4), the first flight of that configuration, with four SRMs and the DCSS Delta 5-m Cryo Second Stage and 5-m fairing.

WGS-3 has a mass of around 5990 kg.

Control from 3SOPS/Schriever, with four US Army WSOC payload control centers.

After two weeks of LAM burns, WGS 3 will use XIPS for over a month to reduce inclination and eccentricity.

Probable location around 12W.

Insat 4C

 2007-037A

---

Launch by GSLV in Sep 2007. At 83s after launch a control actuator stuck and roll rates built up, causing premature SOM shutdown with a 120m/s underspeed. The inertial measurement unit lost reference as well, and as a result the insertion inclination was 15.8 deg instead of the planned value, presumably 19.5 deg, and the apogee was low. The payload was able to make up the insertion errors.

Mass is 2130 kg full 941 kg dry. Size is 1.6 x 1.5 x 2.4m box + 2 panels span 9.5m.
