据报道,加拿大电信公司在1982年6月份与美航宇局签订了发射五颗国内卫星的合同。按合同规定,除了其中一颗卫星用德尔它发射之外,其余的四颗卫星将用航天飞机发射。这五颗卫星的造价为1.3亿美元,总的发射费为7500万美元。上述五颗卫星是加拿大的第三代和第四代卫星,即为安尼克-C和-D型卫星。这些卫星在今后十年内将成为加拿大国内卫星系统的“骨干”,为加拿大提供电视广播、点对点的音频、视频和数据传输、私人商务通信以及许多其它特殊的通信业务。
According to reports, Canada Telecom signed a contract with the United States Aerospace Administration to launch five domestic satellites in June 1982. According to the contract, the remaining four satellites will be launched by space shuttle except one of the satellites being launched by Del. The five satellites cost 130 million U.S. dollars and the total launch cost is 75 million U.S. dollars. The above five satellites are the third and fourth generation of Canadian satellites, that is, the Anic-C and-D satellites. These satellites will become the “backbone” of Canada's domestic satellite system over the next ten years by providing Canada with television broadcasting, peer-to-peer audio, video and data transmission, private business communications and many other specialized communications services.
