“阿宙斯”试验通信卫星计划是法国国家通信管理总局和国家空间中心根据ESA的一项招标书提出的,其目的是打算对下一代欧洲通信卫星将要采用的技术方案和硬件进行空间验证,其中包括高性能通用卫星平台,大功率行波管放大器(6/4吉赫、16瓦3:2分散冗余;30/20吉赫、25瓦)、固态功率放大器及4吉赫4×4微波开关矩阵。 The “Aegean” pilot communications satellite program, proposed by the French State Communications Administration and the National Space Center under a proposal by the ESA, is intended to provide space validation of the technical solutions and hardware to be used by the next generation of European communications satellites, of which Including high-performance general purpose satellite platforms, high-power traveling-wave tube amplifiers (6/4 GHz, 16-watt 3: 2 dispersion redundancy; 30/20 GHz, 25-watt), solid-state power amplifiers and 4 GHz 4x4 microwave Switch matrix.
