The SBS B1 satellite is currently being built by Hughes Aircraft Company for Satellite Business Systems. This satellite is the first in a family of HS 393 spin-stabilized spacecraft, designed to operate for 10 years in synchronous orbit. The primary source of power during sunlight operation is provided by two concentric cylindrical solar panels. During transfer orbit, the deployable solar panel is stored over the fixed solar panel and provides power to the satellite and batteries. In synchronous orbit, the deployable panel is telescoped to its fully deployed position and power is provided by both panels. The resultant structure, less antenna, is 22 feet tall and 12 feet in diameter and provides an end of life power output of 2412 watts.
