Finally finalized the launch date of satellites Nilesat 201 and RASCOM QAF1R flight V196's Arianespace rocket Ariane 5 ECA on August 3 and no publicity given to the time of launch.
The two satellites Nilesat -201 and RASCOM - QAF1R built by Thales Alenia Space as prime contractor arrived at the Space Center in Kourou, French Guyana and began final preparations leading to the launch this summer with rocket Ariane 5.
The Nilesat -201 will enable the Egyptian satellite operator Nilesat provides digital direct to home (DTH), TV and radio broadcasting services and high speed data transmission to North Africa and the Middle East starting in September 2010.
The satellite Nilesat -201 is manufactured in a type Spacebus 4000B2 platform and fitted with 24 Ku-band and 4 Ka-band transponders will be placed in geostationary position 7 degrees west, and a lifetime of 15 years. The weight at the time of launch will be approximately 3.200 kg, and produces 5,9 kW power at the end of the cycle of life.
The satellite RASCOM - QAF1R will ensure continuity of services for the operator RascomStar - QAF and its customers, offering access in Africa to advanced communication and information technologies, particularly in rural telephony.
The satellite RASCOM - QAF1R is based on the platform Spacebus 4000B3, and is equipped with 24 equivalent transponders of 36 MHz in both the Ku-band and in C-band, will weigh about 3050 kilograms at launch and will provide 6.4 kW power at the end of the cycle of life. will be placed in geostationary orbit of 2.9 degrees east, the satellite RASCOM - QAF1R covering the African continent and parts of Europe and the Middle East.
