Inmarsat satellite 4
Inmarsat-4 F2 is the second of three satellites designed to improve global information systems. The first satellite, active in most of Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the Indian Ocean, was launched from Cape Canaveral in March 2005. The second, British-built satellite will improve and expand information throughout South America, North America, the Atlantic and part of the Pacific.
These two identical satellites, about the size of a London bus, will operate for about 15 years. They are designed and manufactured by EADS Astrium, Europe's leading satellite manufacturer. Weighing nearly 6 tons, Inmarsat satellites are equipped with electric propulsion systems. 45 m wide solar panels produce 14kW of electricity. The main body of the satellite is 7m high.
Two satellites will support Inmarsat's global broadband network based in London. Technology on each satellite allows people to set up virtual offices anywhere in the world through high-speed broadband connections and third-generation phone technology (3G). Beneficiaries are commuter traders, rescue workers and journalists.
