Satélite Geoestacionário de Defesa e Comunicações Estratégicas 1
Brazil plans to launch a second SGDC satellite, SGDC-2, in 2022.
The Brazilian military wants to have a backup for the Geostationary Defense and Strategic Communications Satellite SGDC-1.
Telebras launched the SGDC-1 satellite in May 2017.
SGDC-1 is the only Ka-band satellite to offer nationwide high-capacity broadband coverage across 100% of Brazil’s territory, including coastal areas.
