Satellite Slots In Space

SINGAPORE — Satellite feet operator ABS says it has more orbital slots than it can use and is willing to sell the extras to other satellite operators.

This means they move north-south across the equatorial plane on a daily basis, by plus or minus the amount shown.

Bhutan's journey in space technology began in 1988 when it became a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and was allotted its first orbital slot. According to Karma Yonten, a member of satellite working group, the orbital slot at 59.1 degrees east longitude was similar to a real estate in space – where the country can.

'We have 15 unpopulated slots that we are looking for partners with,' Jim Simpson, ABS's CEO, said June 25 at the CASBAA Satellite Industry Forum here.

Not every orbital slot is of the same value. Simpson said some are only a year or two away from expiring, per International Telecommunication Union rules. That limited time means preserving such a slot would likely require using an existing satellite as a placeholder until a new satellite could be built and launched.

The usefulness of each slot also depends on its position above the Earth and the associated spectrum rights.

Bermuda-based ABS, which operates six satellites, accumulated its surplus orbital slots through a variety of sources, one being the Moscow-based consortium Intersputnik. In 2014, Intersputnik undertook a similar effort to give purpose to unused orbital slots.

'Unfortunately we don't have infinity money, so we can't just populate every different slot,' Simpson said.

ABS is willing to provide orbital slots to 'nontraditional' owners such as tech giants or satellite manufacturers, Simpson said. As a former Boeing satellite executive, Simpson said such arrangements would have been unprecedented from a manufacturer's perspective.

'When I was on the manufacturing side, the greedy satellite owner-operators would never give up any of their potential revenue streams to a manufacturer, but things change,' he said. 'This is an area where, yes, you may be giving up some of your upside, but you are creating additional space in the market.'

One satellite operator, APT Satellite of Hong Kong, signalled interest in obtaining new orbital slots.

'We are also actively looking at achievable or usable orbital slots,' Huang Baozhong, executive vice president at APT Satellite, said during a panel discussion that included ABS and other operators. 'Those are hard to acquire. We have fully utilized our available orbital slots, so if there are opportunities I think we are very keen to explore those.'

APT Satellite has ambitions to field a global system of geostationary high-throughput satellites, but lacks the orbital slots to fulfill that vision, Baozhong said.

'We launch Apstar-6D next year, and it will cover one third of the globe starting from Asia, and we are still actively looking for partners or suitable orbital slots to further extend to other parts of the world,' he said.

Apstar-6D is a Ku-band high-throughput satellite from China Great Wall Industry Corp., and is slated to launch on a Chinese Long March 3B rocket.

Split - If your first 2 cards have the same value, separate your cards into 2 hands. These will be played independently and will have an equal value to your first bet. What splitting in blackjack means is that when your hand consists of two cards with similar value, you can split them by placing additional bet, creating two hands that will be played separately. The option to split is of enormous value; if it's used wisely of course. In Blackjack, Double Down and Win the Hand Five Times. The second Gambler challenge is just as straightforward as the first, as you only need to win the hand in. Note that you can't get a blackjack in a split hand, but you can double down if you so choose. After all the players take their turns, the dealer plays out his actions. A blackjack is an automatic win unless the dealer also has blackjack, in which case the hand is a push. A blackjack win pays 3:2 instead of the usual 1:1 payment. Rdr2 blackjack how to split.

Name refers to the official spacecraft designation, 5 digits and one or two letters. Made up as follows: 2 digits=year of launch so 12=2012; next 3 digits= day of year so 061 is 2nd of March, followed by letter(s) so A= is first item off the rocket, B= second item off the rocket, etc. Z= 26th, AB is 27th item off the rocket.

Common name is what companies use to give it an easy (?) to remember name. They are changed from time to time, for example if the satellite leased to a new customer or marketing people think of some new idea.

Geo Orbit position is the longitude position around the geostationary orbit. The satellites are all approximately fixed in the sky above the equator. Negative orbit position numbers are degrees West from Greenwich meridian, like Spain, Portugal, Atlantic, West West Africa, Canada, USA, Central and South America. Positive numbers are degrees East, like Central Europe, East Africa, Middle East, Asia, China, Japan and Australia.

Inclination: Some older satellite, whose north-south station-keeping fuel has run out are in inclined orbits. The inclination angle is shown. This means they move north-south across the equatorial plane on a daily basis, by plus or minus the amount shown. Tracking earth station antennas are used to follow these satellites.
