Thales Alenia Space announced the signature of a contract, with Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), for the development, the delivery and the installation of elements in the Amos-4 Ground Segment.

Slated for launch in 2012, Amos-4 will also expand the operator's range of Ku- and Ka-band capacity to provide high-quality communications and broadcasting transmission services.

This ground contract and the proposed solution are based on Thales Alenia Space products for Ground Mission Segment composed of:

+ Payload Traffic Manager (PTM) for optimized frequency allocation into transponders, accurate link budget calculation and traffic plan generation.

+ In Orbit Test System (IOT) for telecommunication payload testing after launch.

+ Communication System Monitoring (eCSM) for traffic monitoring using powerful and high speed digital spectrum analyser, the Telecom Carrier Analyzer (TCA).

+ Stations Monitoring and Control (Space M and C) for local and remote operation of TT&C station.

In addition to its leading position as telecommunication satellite and payload manufacturer, Thales Alenia Space is also a major supplier of complete ground systems, and has been awarded equivalent contracts for several operators in this past year: Indosat (Indonesia), Korea Telecom (South Korea), Nilesat (Egypt), RSCC (Russia), RCSC (Kazakhstan), Arabsat (Saudi Arabia), Yahsat (United Arab Emirates), and France Telecom (France).

After Amos-1, Amos-2, Amos-3 payloads delivery and the contract signature earlier this year to supply RF communication assemblies for the Amos-4 communication satellite, Thales Alenia Space strengthens its long-time successful partnership with IAI.
