A telecommunication traffic model for Western Europe up to the year 2005 especially for TV requirements was developed. An interference model to accommodate complex satellite coverage areas was derived. Methods to obtain satellite antenna coverage contours direct from published regulatory documents were assessed. Based on the traffic forecasts and spacecraft mass/power modeling, multimission systems using the 14/12/11 and 30/20 GHz allocations, solely or in combination, were selected. Interference and cost modeling of the missions was done. France, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia, Spain, and UK are expected to provide domestic spacecraft. Television requirements are expected to be the main system driver. In view of this and because of the interference problems caused by FMTV, a drive toward digital TV at as low bit rates as possible is necessary. A regional system also providing domestic payloads appears to be a cost effective solution.
