After a brief analysis of the telegraph and telephone traffic requirements on the Intelsat satellites until 1988 and of the forecast on possible new services, the main technical means under study which should allow to increase the space segment capacity to meet these requirements, are reviewed. Advantages and disadvantages of the new transmission techniques and of the new spacecraft technologies are briefly evaluated. The paper concludes with an estimate of the chronological availability of these new techniques together with an evaluation of their impact on the capacity of the future satellite generations.
