BSAT-3c
BSAT-3c, also known as JCSAT-110R, is a geostationary communications satellite operated by SKY Perfect JSAT Group (JSAT) which was designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin on the A2100 platform.
The spacecraft was designed and manufactured by Lockheed Martin on the A2100 satellite bus for B-SAT and SKY Perfect JSAT Group (JSAT). It had a launch mass of 2,906 kg (6,407 lb) and a 16-year design life. As most satellites based on the A2100 platform, it uses a 460 N (100 lbf) LEROS-1C LAE for orbit raising.
It measures 5.3 m × 2.0 m × 1.9 m (17.4 ft × 6.6 ft × 6.2 ft) when stowed for launch. Its dual wing solar panels can generate 7.5 kW of power at the end of its design life, and span 18.9 m (62 ft) when fully deployed.
It has two payloads, both in the Ku band with 12 transponders each (a total of 24), each payload is dedicated to each of the owners. The B-SAT payload has 12 transponders with a TWTA output power of 120 Watts. The JSAT payload has twelve 36 Mhz transponders.
On September 18, 2007, SKY Perfect JSAT Group (JSAT) announced an agreement with B-SAT to jointly procure an hybrid broadcast and communication satellite. Thanks to a decision of the Japanese government that effectively lifted a ban on such mixed satellites, both companies would share a spacecraft to act as backup of JCSAT-110 on the 110°East slot. Named BSAT-3c by B-SAT and JCSAT-110R by JSAT, it was to be launched in 2011, and it would be managed by B-SAT. On September 19, 2007, they closed a deal with Arianespace for a launch slot with an Ariane 5 for its launch.
