Mission Details
Hispasat AG1
In May 2008 ESA and Hispasat S.A. (Spain) signed a preliminary authorisation to proceed with the Small GEO Mission Hispasat AG1 (HAG1, Hispasat Advanced Generation 1). It was renamed Hispasat 36W-1 in March 2016. This will launch the initial activities of an industrial consortium led by Hispasat.
The signing took place in the presence of representatives from the German Space Agency (DLR), the Spanish Delegation to ESA (CDTI), and OHB-System AG.
The Small GEO Programme is aimed at the development of a small, general-purpose geostationary satellite platform, which will enable European industry to compete effectively in the commercial telecom market for small platforms.
