Galaxy 3R satellite launched successfully.(Special Report)
Cape Canaveral Air Station, Fla. - In a picture-perfect launch here last Thursday, a Lockheed Martin Corp. [LMT] Atlas 2A rocket boosted Hughes Communications Inc.'s [GMH] Galaxy 3R satellite into orbit.
The HS 601-series spacecraft, carrying 48 transponders, will be placed into the 95 [degrees] W orbital slot, from which its Ku-band payload will cover Latin America and its C-band payload will blanket the continental United States.
Through the Galaxy Latin America (GLA) partnership, Latin American viewers will be able to subscribe to more than 100 channels of high-quality, digital video and audio programming via Galaxy 3R, reports Via Satellite magazine Editor Cynthia Boeke, who was at the Cape to cover the launch. In the United States, the satellite will beam the next-generation of programming to television receive-only (TVRO) households.
The Ku-band Payload: A First for Galaxy Latin America
The launch here puts HCI and its Latin American partners ahead of its competitors who are vying to beam hundreds of channels of direct-to-home (DTH) digital video programming to viewers throughout the region with small dishes.
PanAmSat Corp. [SPOT] will launch its PAS 3R satellite Jan. 9. Intelsat will launch its Latin American DTH bird, the Intelsat 7A, to the 310 [degrees] E orbital slot in February.
GLA is a partnership between HCI (60 percent), Venezuela-based Cisneros Group of companies (20 percent), Brazil's Televisao Abril (10 percent) and Mexico's Multivision (10 percent).
