Wang Min, deputy head of the academy's Institute of Telecommunication Satellite, said China plans to establish a constellation of advanced
communications satellites based on DFH 4 and DFH 5 platforms by 2025 and, after the plan is fulfilled, people will be able to use high-quality WiFi service anywhere and anytime, including on bullet trains and planes.
It took a while for technology to implement theory, solving the problems of finding a way to keep the satellite stationary in space, developing a reliable power source on the satellite, designing adequate antennas and earth stations, and, most critical, coming up with a power source potent enough to propel a
communications satellite payload into orbit 22,300 miles above the earth.
The payload for the launch is a
communications satellite for Bulsatcom.
The Navy's executive office for space systems and its
communications satellite program office in San Diego, is responsible for the MUOS program.
The director general at Russian Satellite Communications Company, Yuri Prokhorov, said earlier the enterprise plans to add nine advanced
communications satellites to its orbital grouping by 2020.
The
communications satellite, built by Israel Aerospace Industries is expected to settle in geostationary Earth orbit above Southeast Asia at 65[degrees]E (where it will appear to remain in a fixed position in the sky), and help Spacecom, the company responsible for operating the satellite, expand into emerging markets in that part of the world.
China has successfully sent a French-made
communications satellite into space.
