Today marks 8 years since the launch of the Belintersat-1 satellite into space.
On January 15, 2016, at 19:57 Minsk time, the Long March 3B launch vehicle was launched from the Xichang Cosmodrome (PRC) with the first Belarusian telecommunications satellite on board Belintersat-1.
From that moment on, Belarus acquired the status of a space power. The successful launch of Belintersat-1 became the basis for the creation of the National Satellite Communication and Broadcasting System – the largest telecommunications project implemented in Belarus.
During all 8 years of operation in the orbital position of 51.5° East longitude, the satellite has demonstrated excellent performance thanks to the responsible and professional approach of the Belintersat team to their work.
On the eve of the eighth anniversary of the launch of the satellite into geostationary orbit, managers of the Belintersat team met with representatives of the press and spoke about the contribution of the Belintersat project to the innovative development of Belarus, about the features of ground control of the satellite and the prospects for the development of the project.
Today, the management and team of Belintersat congratulate customers and partners on the eighth anniversary of the satellite launch and wish them further joint success and mutually beneficial cooperation!
