The Hispasat 1D, since 2016 called Hispasat 30W-4 is a Spanish communications satellite launched in 2002 operated by Hispasat. Together with the Hispasat 1C it formed a constellation in order to strengthen communication ties between the American continent (particularly South America) and the Iberian Peninsula for both governmental and private uses.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
The end of the service life of the constellation was scheduled for 2017 (after more than 15 years in active)[9] however as of 2022 the Hispasat 1D is still active.[10][11][12]
Body
[edit]
The Hispasat 1D was built by Alcatel Space. It is based in the Spacebus-3000B2 bus. The satellite has a dry mass of 1,345 kg (increased to 3,250 kg at launch). It is shaped as a rectangular prism whose lateral faces allocate four Silicon retractable solar panels capable of providing 7 kW (end of life) directly to the two sets of regulated power supplies.[13] When fully deployed it has a RCS of 17.6011 m2.
The satellite is 3-axis stabilized thanks to a set of 4 FDIR reaction wheels.
Propulsion
[edit]The main propulsion for the satellite is provided by a liquid propelled S400-12 rocket engine.[14] It was developed by ArianeGroup (former Airbus DS). It uses monomethylhydrazine and mixed oxides of nitrogen as fuel. It develops a thrust between 340 N and 440 N.[15][16]
Additionally, the satellite also contains 14 secondary bipropellant S10-18 engines for ABM and aspect control. They use Dinitrogen tetroxide and monomethylhydrazine and are capable of developing up t0 10N of thrust.[17]
The fuel is allocated on two independent OST 22/4 surface-tension fuel tanks.[18]
Communications module
[edit]The satellite is equipped with three antennas, 28 Ku-band transponders and several X-band transponders. It is intended to strengthen communications between the American continent Spain for government, commercial and military use. Particularly offering TV coverage from international channels to South America.
Launch
[edit]
The satellite was launched the 18th of September 2002 at 18:00 on board an Atlas IIAS rocket from Space Launch Complex 36A in Cape Canaveral Space Force Station under the direction of Space Launch Delta 45.[19][20] It was successfully put into a geostationary orbit 30º W with an apogee of 35,813.6 km, a perigee of 35,773.9 km, a semi-major axis of 42,164 km, an inclination of 2.5º and an orbital period of 1,436.1 minutes.[21]
During its service life it is being monitored from Hispasat's Satellite Control Centre in Arganda del Rey (Madrid).[22]
