XTAR-LANT 30° W
With its March 2006 launch, XTAR-LANT enabled XTAR to offer X-band services in North America for homeland security applications as well as one-hop connectivity to Europe and the Middle East. The satellite's payload is extremely flexible. It covers a large geographic area with its two global beams,
plus three spot beams that can be relocated within the satellite's coverage area. This flexibility, added
to XTAR-EUR's coverage in Asia, makes both payloads compatibility with WGS and adds tremendous capabilities for government and military users. Click here to download »
