According to Amac News: As a provider of advanced geographic data, artificial intelligence platforms for geographic data analysis, non-terrestrial networks (NTN) and secure communication solutions, Space42 called this launch a turning point.
Thuraya 4 satellite was launched by SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, USA.
The next generation satellite communications system,Thuraya 4, significantly expands the capabilities of Space42. As one of the largest MSS communications satellites ever produced, this satellite complements the company's plans to introduce more than 15 new products to meet the rapidly growing needs of various sectors, including defense, government and business.
Space42's sixth geostatic (GEO) satellite will provide greater security, faster speeds and wider coverage in Africa, Europe, Central Asia and the Middle East.
Karim Michel Sabbagh, CEO of Space42, said: "The launch of Soraya 4 is an important milestone in the journey of Space42. This launch strengthens the company's leadership position in the global SatCom industry."
Meanwhile, Alain Faure, Head of Space Systems at Airbus, said: "We are opening a new chapter in the story of Airbus and Space42: the Thuraya 4 satellite has been successfully launched into space! "This communications satellite is now ready to provide greater flexibility to the Space42 communications satellite fleet."
Thuraya is the satellite communications arm of Space42 under Yahsat Space Services. Using the advanced Airbus Eurostar Neo platform, this satellite has a 12-meter L-band antenna and a payload equipped with advanced processing.
These capabilities allow unparalleled flexibility in routing up to 3,200 channels with dynamic power allocation across multiple beam points.
