The SPAINSAT NG system will ensure secure communications for the Spanish Armed Forces and allied countries for decades to come.<\/p>\n<p>SPAINSAT NG, a program led, owned and operated by Hisdesat Servicios Estrat\u00e9gicos S.A., is considered to be the most ambitious space project in Spain\u2019s history, both due to its performance and the outstanding involvement of the national industry. The SpainSat NG satellites are among the most advanced telecommunications birds in the world. They operate from geostationary orbit in X, military Ka and UHF frequency bands, used for high throughput secure communications, enabling to provide dual, secure and resilient services to the Spanish Armed Forces, as well as to international organizations such as the European Commission, NATO, and allied countries.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget-layout related-content-also-read-box my-3\">\n<h4 class=\"mb-0\">Also Read: What are Satellite Frequency Bands?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p>Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), together with Airbus Defence and Space, has led the execution and construction of the SpainSat NG satellites. In Spain, the company has been responsible for the UHF and military Ka-band payloads and, together with Airbus, for the integration of the communication Modules, which embark the communication payloads and forms the core of their advanced technological capabilities. The company, involved in different areas of the project, has been responsible for the integration of the Communication Module for both satellites along with Airbus in a dedicated clean room built for this purpose at its Tres Cantos facilities in Madrid, making it the largest satellite system ever assembled in Spain to date.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ismael L\u00f3pez<\/strong><strong>, CEO of Thales Alenia Space in Spain,<\/strong> said: \u201cThis launch marks the culmination of a transformative project for the Spanish space industry. We thank Hisdesat and the Ministry of Defense for the trust placed in our company to lead, for the first time in Spain, the development of the communications payloads for the SPAINSAT NG geostationary satellites. For our teams in Madrid, successfully overcoming a challenge of this magnitude places the national space industry on a higher level.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Spanish secure communications satellite SpainSat NG II, successfully launche by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, will provide services to the Armed Forces and international organizations such as the&nbsp;European Commission and NATO, as well as to the governments of allied countries.
