The

RSCC and the
Australian
satellite
operator
NewSat have
signed an
agreement to
lease
capacity of
the

company,
with a total
contract
value of
over USD$13
million.
Express-AM3
satellite
has been
relocated

successfully
used by the
Russian
communications

its strategy
to enter new

with NewSat,
the most
dynamic
developing

hemisphere.

Region.
“The
agreement
between RSCC
and NewSat
is an
important
milestone in
the
expansion
of
the Russian
company’s
customer
base in the
Asia-Pacific.
We are glad
to deliver
NewSat a
unique
satellite
platform
capable of
providing
a
wide range
of services
and
applications
for the end
users in the
region. We
also hope to
continue our
further
cooperation
with NewSat
and combine
our joint
efforts in
offering
communications
and
broadcasting
services
mostly
required by
the satcom
market using
RSCC’s
satellites
in the
future” says
Yuri
Prokhorov,

excited to
work with
new partners
such as RSCC

us meeting
our
customer’s
unique
requirements.
RSCC is an
established
operator
with a great
reputation,
they are
expanding
their fleet
