Intelsat 9 (IS-9) (formerly PAS-9) is an Intelsat Atlantic Ocean region satellite which delivers communications services throughout the Americas, the Caribbean and Western Europe. Following its launch from a floating platform in the Pacific Ocean (Sea Launch), Intelsat 9 succeeded the PAS-5 Atlantic Ocean Region satellite at 58 degrees west longitude, serving as the video neighborhood in the region as well as providing Internet and data services. Intelsat 9 also serves as the transmission platform for SKY México's direct-to-home (DTH) service. The service employs a dozen Ku-band transponders on Intelsat 9 for the digital delivery of more than 160 channels directly to consumers' homes. On 11 September 2001, the Al Jazeera network used the PAS 9 to broadcast the tragedies occurring in New York into Qatar. ==Intelsat 9 highlights== * The high-power platform from which more than a dozen of international broadcasters and programmers deliver their content throughout the Americas, including the United Kingdom's BBC; Germany's Deutsche Welle; Japan's NHK; Venezuela's Cisneros; Portugal's RTP; and the United States' Eternal Word Television Network, ESPN and HBO Olé Partners. * The permanent platform for Sky Mexico's DTH television service. * Comprehensive coverage enabling the Napa, California teleport facility to access the satellite, which permits signal turnaround between the Asia-Pacific region, the Americas and Europe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Intelsat 9」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
