Telesat’s History and Milestones
1969 – Telesat Created by Act of Parliament, with a mandate to provide basic (telephone and television) communications to all regions of Canada.
1972 – Telesat launched Anik A1, the world’s first commercial domestic communications satellite in geostationary orbit
2004 – Telesat launched Anik F2, first satellite to successfully commercialize the Ka-band for two-way, high speed broadband communications
Global Infrastructure
Telesat is now the fourth largest Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) operator in the world providing reliable and secure satellite-delivered communications solutions to broadcast, telecom, corporate and government customers
Collaboration with Russia
Proton Launch Vehicle• Five of our last satellites
have been launched into geostationary orbit by the Proton rocket, designed and built by Khrunichev, Moscow
• So will our next three
Satellite Manufacturing• Currently monitoring the
construction of the Telkom 3 satellite, being built for PT Telkom by ISS Reshetnev

The need for circumpolar coverage
Meteorological
• Circumpolar Coverage 100% at 60° North and above for weather monitoring
Communications
•Current Area of Interest outlined in blue as defined by the Canadian Space Agency
•Coverage can be expanded to include other arctic regions
•Satellite could also include:
• aviation communications
• navigation augmentation,
The Telesat Approach to Polar Constellation
A two satellite constellation can meet these requirements
Satellite design life of 15 years in a space environment similar to geostationary orbit where we currently operate our 13 satellites
A financial model based on payment of services over the period in which these services are provided
Commercial approach to the development, procurement and operation of the satellite system
Expect government to be the main client but also believe their is increasing commercial interest in communications in this area
Demonstration of Coverage

Conclusion
Fundamentals of Telesat’s approach to providing circumpolar coverage
A mission which meets user requirementso communications and weather monitoring
A mission with 15 year design lifeo spacecraft , communications and meteorological payloads
A mission implemented under a Private Public Partnershipo lower risk, lower costo firm fixed priceo pre-determined on-going payments matched to delivery of service
Looking for other applications and markets in the circumpolar region
