Space42’s Thuraya-4 telecommunications satellite, built by Airbus, will deliver superior capabilities and increase coverage across Europe, Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East, enabling next-generation mobility solutions for customers.
Leveraging the state-of-the-art all-electric Airbus Eurostar Neo Platform, Thuraya 4 will incorporate a 12 metre antenna operating in L-Band and a payload with on-board processing. This will provide advanced routing flexibility of up to 3200 channels with dynamic power allocation over a large number of spot beams.
Thuraya 4 is one of the largest MSS communication satellites produced which allows for more services, higher speeds, and higher level of performance security. Thuraya 4 will enable Space42 to cover a greater spectrum and support customers across industries, including defense, government, and enterprise.
The Eurostar Neo family of Airbus telecommunications satellites is based on a next-generation platform and technologies, developed with the support of the European Space Agency (ESA), and others, including the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES) and the UK Space Agency (UKSA).
