GOES-13

 2006-018A

---

GOES N (GOES 13 once operational) is the first of four follow-on weather satellites (GOES N,O,P,Q) built by Hughes to replace the Loral GOES I series. The bus is based on the Boeing 601. The GOES program is managed by NOAA, with NASA-GSFC doing acquisition and early orbit ops. For the first time, Hughes will deliver the satellites on orbit. GOES N launch originally for Oct 2001, eventually 2005. Launch by Delta IVM+(4,2) with three second stage burns.

GOES N is box + panel + boom; size is 2.6 x 4.6 x 2.9m stowed, 8.4 x 9.1 x 2.9m deployed wiht 8.5m mag boom and 8.2m solar panel. Mass 3209 kg launch 1800 kg BOL, 1543 kg dry.

GE-1A

 2000-059A

---

GE-1A (Asia) satellite for GE Americom. A2100AX, 28 Ku transponders at 108.2E for NE and SE Asia.  In 1998 launch was delayed and the beams reshaped, accommodated increased demand in China. Launch by Proton in 2000. Later renamed AAP-1 and then, after GE was purchased by SES, Worldsat-1 (WS-1). Worldsat was merged back in to SES Americom in Feb 2005, with the spacecraft remaining in service at 108E for the time being. It was then renamed NSS-11.

Launch mass 3593 kg. 1601 kg dry. Size 3.1 x 2.5 x 6.1m with 27m span.

Three reflectors, 2.4m, 2.2m, and 1.1m.

Americom Asia Pacific used the satellite as AAP-1. AAP is a joint venture between GE Americom and LMGT. The satellite was owned and operated on-orbit by GE Capital Satellites (Gibraltar) Ltd. and initially registered with the UN by both the US and the UK. The UK later retracted its filing as the craft's production and launch were procured by GE Americom.
