Inmarsat's new spacecraft enters orbit
On the evening of July 25, the Alphasat 1-XL spacecraft was put into orbit by the Ariane 5 rocket, at Kourou space airport, Guiana, France. The 6.6 ton Alphasat is a cooperative product between Inmarsat and the European Space Agency (ESA).
London-based Inmarsat International Satellite Organization has launched the latest Alphasat 1-XL spacecraft into orbit.
On the evening of July 25, the Alphasat 1-XL spacecraft was put into orbit by the Ariane 5 rocket, at Kourou space airport, Guiana, France. The 6.6 ton Alphasat is a cooperative product between Inmarsat and the European Space Agency (ESA).

In addition to commercial purposes, Alphasat played a pioneering role in testing the new heavy-duty spacecraft, as a premise for European manufacturers to manufacture 8.8-ton telecom spacecraft. At the same time Alphasat also confirmed the laser terminals by receiving images transmitted from the EU Sentinel-1a spacecraft radar, which will be released next year.
Most notably, the new spacecraft is equipped with advanced digital signal processor linked with 11m smart software by 13m antenna system, which helps to transmit important and strong bandwidth signals to locations. specific on the ground.
This satellite also ensures the distribution of Inmarsat L band radio frequency as efficiently as possible. It also meets the different needs of customers, attracting the interest of large TV companies, maritime, aviation, armed forces or any group using telecom in remote areas. far.
Reportedly, Inmarsat has invested about 240 million pounds for this project. Esa costs about 320 million pounds and the French Space Agency also costs some significant funding.
