Airbus will place a dedicated UHF military communications hosted payload on board the EUTELSAT 36D telecommunications satellite.
Airbus will offer a UHF communications service to armed forces, particularly those of European countries and NATO allies, via the hosted payload on EUTELSAT 36D.
The UHF payload on EUTELSAT 36D will be operated from Airbus’s Network Operations Centre (NOC) in Toulouse.
EUTELSAT 36D will be built by Airbus based on the Eurostar Neo platform.

The UHF payload on EUTELSAT 36D will be operated from Airbus’s Network Operations Centre in Toulouse.
EUTELSAT 36D will be built by Airbus based on the Eurostar Neo platform.
Airbus has signed the first firm orders for the UHF capacity well ahead of EUTELSAT 36D’s scheduled launch in the first half of 2024.
EUTELSAT 36D will be equipped with 70 Ku-band transponders for TV broadcasting.
Eutelsat selected Airbus to build Eutelsat 36D, a replacement satellite slated for launch in 2024.
The Eurostar Neo-based EUTELSAT 36D combines increased payload capacity and more efficient power and thermal control systems with reduced production time and optimized costs.
Eutelsat Communications ordered a geostationary satellite called Eutelsat 36D from Airbus for a launch in 2024.
Eutelsat 36D was the first commercial geostationary (GEO) signed order of 2021.
EUTELSAT 36D is based on the Airbus Eurostar Neo platform, which combines increased payload capacity, more efficient power and thermal control systems, reduced production time, and optimized costs.
Eutelsat 36D will replace Eutelsat 36B well before Eutelsat 36B reaches the end of its life in 2026 at the 36° East orbital position.
Eutelsat 36D will have 70 physical Ku-band transponders, 18 kW of power, and is based on the Airbus Eurostar Neo platform.
