JCSAT-1 & Météosat 4

Météosat 4 is a European meteorological satellite. He makes several measurements of temperatures and takes several images of the surface of our planet to send them to us, in order to make our weather forecasts.

JCSAT-1 was a geostationary communications satellite designed and manufactured by Hughes (now Boeing) on the HS-393 platform. It was originally ordered by Japan Communications Satellite Company (JCSAT), which later merged into the JSAT Corporation. It had a Ku band payload and operated on the 150°E longitude until it was replaced by JCSAT-1B.
