Emile de Rijk’s argument on what small GEO sats can bring to a broadband-centric market is getting the attention of industry majors.
SWISSto12
The three I-8 satellites will be based on Swissto12’s HummingSat satellite platform that is about five times smaller than a conventional GEO satellite.
The SSPA amplifiers from Thales will be part of the array antenna of the HummingSat payload.
This delivery constitutes the first large scale use by SWISSto12 with TAS of 3D-printed waveguide solutions for communication satellite payloads.
