ARSAT-1
ARSAT-1 is a geostationary communications satellite operated by AR-SAT and built by the Argentine company INVAP. ARSAT-1 was launched into orbit on October 16, 2014, from French Guiana alongside Intelsat-30 satellite using an Ariane 5 rocket. It is expected to be located at 72° West longitude geostationary slot. ARSAT-1 is the first geostationary satellite built in Latin America. Total cost of the satellite is 270 million US dollars. ARSAT-1 carries a total of 24 IEEE Ku band (NATO J-band) transponders. Twelve will be operating at 36 MHz, eight at 54 MHz and four at 72 MHz, for a total bandwidth of 1152 MHz. It will offer a wide range of telecommunications, data transmission, telephone and television services mainly across all of Argentina, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay including direct broadcast TV in the ISDB-S standard. Description The ARSAT-1 is the first flight model of the ARSAT-3K satellite bus developed by INVAP for ARSAT S.A. It is a small (around a ...

ARSAT-3K
ARSAT-3K is a geostationary orbit, geostationary communications satellite, communications satellite bus designed and manufactured by INVAP of Argentina for the local telecommunication company ARSAT, ARSAT S.A. It is a small (4.2 Watt#Kilowatt, kW of power generation and of launch mass) Three-axis stabilisation, three axis stabilized platform designed, manufactured and tested completely in Argentina. It is capable of carrying up to of payload with a maximum power consumption of 3.4 kW at the end of life. It currently uses only Liquid-propellant rocket, chemical propulsion, but a hybrid solution which would use Bipropellant rocket, bi-propellant propulsion for Orbital maneuver, orbit raising and Electrically powered spacecraft propulsion, electric propulsion for Orbital station-keeping, station keeping is being developed. A purely electric propulsion version is planned. Platform Versions ARSAT-3K The ARSAT-3K is the initial version of this bus. It is comparable to the Thales ...
