Intelsat 22, UHF Payload Launched on Proton Rocket

摘要

An International Launch Services (ILS) Proton rocket March 26 successfully placed the Intelsat 22 telecommunications satellite — equipped with a UHF payload for the Australian and U.S. militaries in addition to C- and Ku-band capacity — into a supersynchro-nous transfer orbit that ILS said would save on fuel."[T]he net result of using this mission design is that the Proton Breeze M is able to provide an additional 200 kilograms of performance, resulting in a capability of 6,350 kilograms to a 1,500-meters-per-second transfer orbit," ILS said in a March 26 statement.
