Martín Fabris, Manager of Arsat Space Services, advanced preliminary details of the Arsat-SG2 mission during the Satellite Map Day 2022 event, organized yesterday by Convergencialatina. The device will serve as a replacement and backup for ARSAT-1, whose design life cycle is scheduled for October 2029. “We are thinking of a satellite with on-board processing, that is, a flexible payload to carry traffic where it is needed. The fourth satellite in our fleet should meet this requirement, especially given the uncertainty of new constellations,” he commented.
