KUALA LUMPUR: MEASAT Global Bhd (MEASAT) has announced its MEASAT-3b satellite is confirmed for launch on May 28 French Guiana Time (May 29 Kuala Lumpur time), at the European Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
In a statement today, it said the satellite is designed to provide an additional 48 high-powered Ku-band transponders which function to expand Direct-To-Home and Very Small Aperture Terminal services across Malaysia, India, Indonesia and Australia at the 91.5° East orbital slot.
The new satellite will more than double MEASAT's Ku-band capacity at this orbital location creating one of the region's most powerful and robust orbital locations.
