AbstractThis paper describes the newest and largest of the INTELSAT series of communications satellites being produced by Ford Aerospace and Communications Corporation. Multinational contributions to the proposed program are identified. Key aspects of the communications sub system discussed include antenna coverage areas; dual, circular polarization, multiple shaped beam antennas; communications transponder configuration; graphite-epoxy microwave filters; microwave integrated circuits; and contiguous band multiplexers. Other subystems, including the body-stabilized attitude control subsystem, are also reviewed.
