THAICOM-3 Reaches Its New Slot at 50.5 Degrees East—Ready to Commence Services for the Middle East
THAICOM-3 has reached its new orbital slot of 50.5 Degrees East in Geosynchronous orbit on September 1. THAICOM-3 – located above the Middle East – was relocated from its original location of 78.5 Degrees East in early August after successfully transferring all traffic to the newly launched THAICOM-5 satellite.
THAICOM-3 drifted from 78.5 to 50.5 Degrees East, which took approximately one month traveling 20,643 kilometers to reach its target destination. Our engineering team also successfully completed testing of the THAICOM-3 satellite at its new location and is now ready to commence services in the Middle East and South Asia.
THAICOM-3 is a Spacebus 3000A model satellite built by Alcatel Alenia Space of France and was launched in 1997. |
