Additional information GALAXY 3C

GALAXY 3C (G-3C), also known as Galaxy 3C, is a communication satellite manufactured by BOES and launched on June 15, 2002, from Sea Launch Kourou using the Zenit-3SL launch vehicle. It has dimensions of 7 meters in length, 3.3 meters in diameter, and spans 47.8 meters when its solar arrays are deployed. The satellites dry mass is 2000 kilograms and it weighs 4850 kilograms at launch. Equipped with a total of 77 transponders (24 C-band and 53 Ku-band), GALAXY 3C provides communication services and has an expected lifetime of 15 years. It is powered by two deployable solar arrays and batteries, featuring a box shape with two panels for its solar arrays. The satellites surface area exposed to sunlight is approximately 33.4954 square meters, aiding in power generation. Owned by PAN, the mission of GALAXY 3C focuses on communication purposes.
