Lockheed Martin Awards NEC
Corporation Contract for Ka-Band Multipack Converters for
Arabsat 6A and Hellas-Sat-4/SaudiGeoSat-1 Satellites
October 7, 2015
NEC Corporation announced the receipt of an order from Lockheed
Martin Corporation for its newly developed Ka-Band* Multipack
Converters for the Arabsat 6A and Hellas-Sat-4/SaudiGeoSat-1
communication satellites.
The new Ka-Band Multipack Converter occupies less mass and less
space when compared with the conventional standalone type
converter. This contributes significantly to the economic
efficiency of a satellite by saving on launch costs due to the
reduced mass and by freeing up space for additional transponders
on a satellite.
NEC Space Technologies, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of NEC,
will design and manufacture the Ka-Band Multipack Converter.
Delivery of the equipment is expected to be complete by the
fourth quarter of 2016, then integrated by Lockheed Martin into
its A2100 satellite bus. The launch of these satellites
is planned in 2018.
Susumu Yamaguchi, President of NEC Space Technologies, Ltd.
said, “We are proud to contribute to Lockheed Martin with our
Multipack Converters, which promise to help realize satellites
that provide superior Return on Investment.
We develop our products by carefully listening to the voices and
anticipating the needs of our customers. Going forward, we will
continue to plan and develop the products that provide
added-value for our customers.”
