Mission Description

Orbital teamed with Thales Alenia Space of France to supply the KOREASAT 6 commercial

communications satellite for KT Corporation of the Republic of Korea. Orbital provided its GEOStar-2™

satellite platform; carried out engineering, manufacturing, integration and nal spacecraft testing at

its satellite manufacturing facility located in Dulles, Virginia; and performed launch site operations

in Kourou, French Guiana. Thales Alenia Space was prime contractor for the project and provided

the communications payload. In addition, the team delivered a ground system to support on-orbit

operations of the satellite. Orbital provided six months of on-site support after the satellite was handed

over to the customer.

KOREASAT 6 carries 24 Ku-band channels to provide Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) and six channels

for Direct Broadcast Services (DBS) to the people of Korea. The spacecraft generates 3.4 kilowatts of

payload power and has a 15-year on-orbit mission life. KOREASAT 6 was launched in December 2010

to a nal orbital slot at 116 degrees East Longitude.

The GEOStar

™

Advantage

Orbital’s highly successful Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO) communications satellites are based on

the company’s GEOStar spacecraft platform, which is able to accommodate all types of commercial

communications payloads and is compatible with all major commercial launchers. The company’s

GEOStar product line includes the GEOStar-2 design, which is optimized for smaller satellite missions

that can support up to 5.0 kilowatts of payload power. Orbital has also developed the higher-power

GEOStar-3 spacecraft design, delivering the next increment of payload power for applications between

5.0 and 8.0 kilowatts, allowing Orbital to offer its innovative and reliable satellite design to the

medium-class of communications satellites.
