The satellite features 12  Ku-band channels with equipment based on Lockheed\u2019s A2100 platform. <br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Lockheed Martin is building BSat-3c\/JCSAT-110R for B-Sat and has scheduled its launch for the second quarter of 2011.<br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Separately, Lockheed Martin completed intersegment system testing of the <strong>U.S. Department of Defense<\/strong>\u2019s  second Advanced Extremely High Frequency (AEHF) military communications  satellite at the company\u2019s facilities in Sunnyvale, Calif. <br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp; The testing marks the completion of pre-launch verification for the  satellite\u2019s eXtended Data Rate (XDR) service. During testing, XDR  capable user terminals demonstrated protected anti-jam communications at  data rates up to 8 Mbps via agile satellite spot beams. <br \/>\n&nbsp;&nbsp; AEHF, the successor to the five-satellite Milstar constellation, aims  to provide global, highly secure, protected, survivable communications  for warfighters operating on ground, sea and air platforms. Lockheed  Martin is under contract to provide three AEHF satellites and the  mission control segment to the <strong>U.S. Air Force<\/strong>. The  program also has contracted advanced procurement of long-lead components  for a fourth AEHF satellite. A contract award to begin full scale  production of the fourth satellite is expected in late 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lockheed Martin\u2019s BSat-3b broadcasting satellite, designed and built for Broadcasting Satellite System (B-Sat) of Japan, was launched by Arianespace on an Ariane 5-ECA launch vehicle, the manufacturer announced. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The satellite, which rode with Eutelsat\u2019s W3B satellite, will be located at 110 degrees East and is scheduled to be handed over to B-Sat by the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"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-85849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85849"}],"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=85849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/85849\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=85849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=85849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/starpath.global\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=85849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
