3 — Outline Description of the Satellite Overeenkomst tussen bepaalde Lid-Staten van de Europese Organisatie voor Ruimteonderzoek en de Europese Organisatie voor Ruimteonderzoek betreffende de uitvoering van een programma voor een maritieme satelliet

Outline Description of the Satellite

The satellite will be based on the Orbital Test Satellite being developed under the ESRO Communication Satellite programme, taking advantage of the modular nature of this vehicle to incorporate a maritime communications package on the basic OTS spacecraft platform.

The MAROTS spacecraft will therefore be a 3-axis stabilised vehicle of modular conception, carrying sun oriented solar panels, and compatible with a launch by a vehicle of the Delta class. Its design life shall not be less than 3 years.

The communication package shall permit communication between the satellite and ships using frequencies at L-band (15351542.5 MHz for satellite to ship liaisons and 1636.5 - 1644 MHz for ship to satellite liaisons). Links from the satellite to the shore will make use of the frequency allocations for satellite services [at 11 and 14 GHz or alternatively at 4 and 6 GHz].

The communications transponder will be capable of providing the following 4 types of channel:

(a) communications channels for shore-to-ship (forward channels) voice and data messages;

(b) communications channels for ship-to-shore (return channels) voice and data messages;

(c) access channel for shore-to-ship (forward) access messages;

(d) shore-to-shore communications channels to relay voice and data messages for network coordination purposes.

Some of the (a) and (b) channels shall be sufficiently linear to carry frequency multiplexed teleprinter and telex signals, ranging signals and distress signals.

The coverage will include the whole segment of the earth visible from the satellite's position in the geostationary orbit.
