Measat is preparing to order a high-throughput spacecraft intended to be in orbit in 2021 to provide broadband services mainly in Malaysia as of 2018-07-03.
U.K. Export Finance provided £22,000,000for a satellite to Malaysian operator Measat in 2014 with Airbus involvement.
Measat plans to have Measat-3d in orbit in 2021 and to operate the satellite for more than 15 years.
Measat selected Airbus Defence and Space on 2019-05-06 to build a single satellite to replace two aging Measat satellites in geostationary orbit.
Measat signed a customer to use the entire Ku-band payload on Measat-3d for the satellite’s lifetime.
Airbus finished 2019 with six GEO orders, including three for Inmarsat, one for Measat, and two to be built as lead partner with Thales Alenia Space for Hisdesat.
Measat designated Airbus Defence and Space as the builder of Measat-3d for a planned 2021 launch.
In May 2019 Measat planned for Airbus Defence and Space to build Measat-3d as a Measat-3 replacement scheduled for a 2021 launch.
Under a newly signed agreement with MEASAT, Azercosmos will use all of the C-band capacity of Azerspace-1/AFRICASAT-1a to provide satellite services throughout the African region.
Some underwriters are disputing Measat’s $45,000,000 claim for Measat-3 while other underwriters have agreed to pay their shares.
Measat-3d was built for Measat by Airbus Defense and Space under a 2019 contract as a replacement for Measat-3 and Measat-3a.
From the 91.5°E orbital slot, MEASAT supports broadcasters and Direct-To-Home operators in the distribution of UHD, HD, and SD channels to audiences across Asia, Australia, Africa, and Europe.
MEASAT has supported Rock Entertainment Holdings since 2017 through its satellite and capacity strategy at the 91.5°E orbital slot.
MEASAT's ability to deliver high-speed satellite broadband nationwide positions the company as a strategic partner to support the Government of Malaysia's aspiration to achieve 100% internet coverage in populated areas by 2025.
Airbus was selected in 2019 to build MEASAT-3d, a multi-mission telecommunications satellite to replace capacity and augment MEASAT’s core business in Malaysia, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
