Measat 1

 1996-002B


The Malaysia/East Asia Satellite (MEASat) was built by Hughes using the HS376 bus, for the Malaysian PTT agency Binariang Sdn. Bhd. 

Measat is 2.2m diameter, 3.31m high at launch and 7.82m high once the solar panel skirt and antennae are deployed. Mass is 1450 kg at launch, 839 kg on orbit and 626 kg dry.

In 2007 Measat was retired from its primary role, moved to 46E and renamed Africasat 1. It was replaced by Africasat-1a in 2013.
