The maximum and minimum height of the orbit of new satellite almost 36 thousand kilometers and 250 kilometers. Tilt the orbit to the equatorial plane 6 degrees. The new satellite will be used for data transmission in gigahertz range in the United States and Canada. TerraStar-1 was constructed by the U.S. Space Systems / Loral. European Space Agency is one of Roscosmos competitors in the market of puting spacecrafts into orbit. Russia is currently the leader in this market. Only the 2008 Federal Space Agency has withdrawn 43 to orbit spacecraft. During the same period, ESA sent into space 11. |
