The first Ariane 5 of the year will orbit two geostationary telecommunication satellites, Measat-3d and GSAT-24.
Measat-3d
Measat-3d will provide high-speed broadband in areas where there is no terrestrial network, with speeds of up to 100 Mbps.
Measat plans to add the Measat-3d satellite in 2022, which will replace Measat-3a and enhance the 91.5 degrees East video neighbourhood.
Airbus Defense and Space is building Measat’s replacement satellite named Measat-3d based on the E3000 satellite platform.
