We supplied the small geostationary satellite platform for the first “EUTELSAT QUANTUM” class telecommunications spacecraft. We were under contract to prime contractor, Airbus Defence and Space, who supplied the flexible payload for the spacecraft.
EUTELSAT QUANTUM is SSTL's first geostationary satellite platform and the new spacecraft design will represent a first in the commercial satellite industry, by enabling the complete electronic synthesis of “receive” and “transmit” coverages in the Ku-band.
