This capacity will address video contribution, corporate networks, data and telecom markets. A steerable beam will add further flexibility, with coverage possible of South America or African regions.

A Ku-band payload of up to 30 transponders will be connected to widebeam footprints over extended Europe and East Africa.

'So as a visual display … the Geminids are quite, quite spectacular.'Īnd in fact, the Geminid meteor shower has improved in recent decades, producing more meteors now than in the past, although researchers aren't really sure why.Ka-band high-throughput capacity to deliver 100 Gbps of bandwidth through 104 spot beams covering Indonesia, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian countriesĢ0 Ku-band transponders providing broadcasting and internet.ġ6 Ku-band transponders that currently provide OU/SNG services for continental Europe.ģ0 Ku-band BSS and 3 Ku-band FSS transponders to provide Direct-To-Home TV, VSAT Communications, Corporate Networks, Occasional Use and SNG satellite services for the Balkans and Europeġ0 C-band transponders, 11 Ku-band transponders, 5 X-band transpondersġ2 Ku and 8 C bands transponders to provide fixed voice, data telecommunications and Internet access as well as broadcasting satellite services to the whole African continent, part of Europe and of the Middle East.ġ2 Ku-band transponders, 8 C-band transponders to provide fixed voice, data telecommunications and Internet access as well as broadcasting satellite services to the whole African continent, although its footprint extends beyond Africa to include part of Europe and of the Middle East.ĥ1 C, Ku and Ka-band transponders to provide video, data, Internet and telecom services across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and parts of South America. They're slower than the Perseids,' Brown said.

You can see more than two per minute when the December meteor shower is peaking. An early Geminid tracked by a telescope of the Canadian Automated Meteor Observatory.
