The structural model of the next Argentine
telecommunication satellite, the ARSAT-1, leave on August 22 the facilities of
the Integration and Testing Laboratory (LIT) of the Brazilian National
Institute for Space Research (Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais - INPE)
in São José dos Campos (SP), where it has been tested the latest eight months.
It has been three years of preparations and negotiations between the LIT/INPE
and ARSAT, Argentine state telecommunications company.
The campaign scored some records for LIT/ INPE: it was
the first qualification of equipment for a telecommunications satellite. The
ARSAT-1 was also the largest equipment in volume and mass - about three tons
with fuel - already tested in Brazil.
In
addition to continuing the longstanding cooperation between Brazil and
Argentina in the space sector, the experience in the development of procedures,
instrumentation and conducting the test campaign brought to LIT/INPE, and
consequently for Brazil, a relevant experience for the future development of
the Geostationary Satellite for Defense and Strategic Communications - SGDC.
