Total payload capacity was 10,863 kg. The mission lasted just under 40 minutes. MEASAT-3d was deployed 28 minutes 39 seconds into the mission, and GSAT-24 was deployed at 39 minutes and 57 seconds. Arianespace confirmed both customers separated successfully.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MEASAT-3d has C- and Ku-band payloads for direct-to-home (DTH) broadcast services and a high-throughput Ka-band payload with multiple user spot beams for high-speed broadband.&nbsp; The satellite also hosts a Q\/V-band payload, the first of its kind in the Asia-Pacific region. This will allow Measat to study propagation effects in high rainfall regions like Malaysia, to enable the design of its next generation satellites. The satellite will be co-located with MEASAT-3a and MEASAT-3b at the 91.5\u00b0E orbital slot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>GSAT-24 is a Ku-band satellite that will provide television, telecommunications, and broadcasting services in India. Capacity has been leased by Tata Play, Indian DTH company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This was one of the final flights of the Ariane 5 rocket before it will be retired for the Ariane 6. The vehicle has been in service since 2003. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arianespace orbited two Geostationary (GEO) telecommunication satellites on Wednesday evening, for Malaysian operator Measat and the Indian government.&nbsp;The mission launched MEASAT-3d, built by Airbus Defence and Space for Measat, GSAT-24, built for NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).&nbsp; The Ariane 5 launch took off from the Guiana Space Center on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":55175,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-55173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55173"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55175"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
