The Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) utilized a proven spacecraft bus with a payload that qualified new technologies to provide a wide range of on-orbit demonstrations. A comprehensive development, qualification and ground test program was implemented to reduce technology risks. Since launch in September, 1993, and insertion into its geostationary slot ACTS has accumulated over 16,000 hours of successful operation. This paper briefly reviews the technology development background then provides a summary of the operational performance observed for the spacecraft bus and communication payload subsystems and units.
