GE-5

 1998-063B


Ariane mission V113 was launched on 1998 Oct 28 from the ELA 2 (Ensemble de Lancement Ariane 2) at the Centre Spatial Guyanais (Kourou, Guyane francaise, South America). V113 was an Ariane 44L model with four strap-on PAL liquid boosters. 18 minutes after launch the LOX/LH2 third stage delivered the two satellite payloads to geostationary transfer orbit.

The upper payload was the first WorldSpace satellite, Afristar. Afristar will broadcast radio, text and video over Africa and the Middle East. Originally planned as a simple L-band satellite for radio broadcasts, the project has grown to include a much larger payload. The satellite is a Matra Marconi Space (Toulouse) Spacebus 2000, using a Marquardt R-4D apogee engine. Prime contractor for the combined satellite and comms payload is Alcatel. Dry mass of Afristar is 1216 kg; it carries 1523 kg of propellant at launch.

The lower payload is the GE-5 satellite, with C and Ku band transponders to augment the GE Americom system. GE Americom contracted with Daimler-Benz Aerospace/Dornier Satellitensystem GmbH/Friedrichshafen to provide the satellite in orbit. They in turn contracted Alcatel/Cannes to provide the Spacebus 2000 satellite, originally built as a backup for Argentina's Nahuelsat. Dry mass of GE 5 is 769 kg; it carries 950 kg of propellant at launch.

GE-5 is a Ku band satellite which will expand the GE Americom system. [898]. The satellite is an Aerospatiale Spacebus 2000. It was built by Alcatel/Cannes for Daimler-Benz Aerospace Dornier Satellitensystem GmbH/Friedrichshafen, which will provide launch and checkout services for GE Americom. The satellite was originally built as a backup Nahuelsat. Launch will be by Ariane 44L V113. Mass is 1719 kg launch, 1013 kg BOL, 769 kg dry.

GE-5 was later called AMC-5 and Americom 5. By 2010 it was in an inclined orbit and no longer suitable for DTH broadcasting; it was replaced by AMC-2 in that role but continued in service for other applications.

Echostar 17

 2012-035A


Hughes Network Systems high capacity Ka broadband satellite, built by Loral with over 100 Gbps throughput. Former Spaceway 4, was called Jupiter 1 until it became owned by Echostar, which bought Hughes in 2011.

Hughes Network Systems (Germantown, MD) ordered a Ka-band Loral-1300E satellite with a mass of 6100 kg, for US domestic data comms. Unlike Spaceway 3, no onboard processing will be done.

VA207 performance was 9635 kg (6100 kg Echostar, 2032 kg MSG, 1503 kg adapters and Sylda)
