Abstract
The purchase of telecommunication satellites by the German postal system is announced. Three satellites are under construction. One satellite is to take over actual operational functions, the second is to be parked in orbit, and the third is stored on the ground for emergencies. The services provided are discussed. The satellites are to enhance the cable and radio relay networks already in use.
