The French satellite telecommunications program: Telecom 1
Abstract
A satellite telecommunications system, Telecom 1, is proposed. The system is designed to meet general communications needs as well as those of large firms operating in France. The Telecom 1 system includes two orbiting satellites and has two main missions: (1) an intracompany link mission for high speed, broadband transfer of digital data between the different facilities of subscribing companies; and (2) a misson of providing conventional telecommunications links between continental France and its overseas territories. Satellite and ground station equipment are also described.
