A powerful novel
telecommunications satellite for the UK military has blasted into orbit. The Sky
net system, which includes the radio equipment deployed on ships, on vehicles
and in the hands of troops, is the UK's single biggest space project. The
five-tonne Skynet-5D platform was sent up on an Ariane missile from the Kourou
spaceport in French Guiana. It complements three others already in operation,
enabling British forces to stay linked over most of the globe.
UK forces pay an annual service
charge for which they get assured bandwidth, with spare capacity then sold to friendly
forces. These third party clients include the NATO allies such as the US. According
to Simon Kershaw, executive director of government communications at Astrium Services,
using Sky net, we also support something called the High Integrity
Telecommunication System (HITS) for the UK Cabinet Office.
