Abstract The Italian space program includes the implementation of a preoperational communication satellite, named Italsat. The paper explains the motivations of the Italsat program and gives a concise description of the related satellite and ground equipment. The preoperational system will allow to implement communication services with Italian coverage at (using advanced techniques such as SS-TDMA and onboard regeneration) and to perform propagation experiments at with European coverage.
