In early 1991, Hughes, General Electric (GE) and France Aeroflot-Alcatel bid for the Thai Ministry of Transport and Communications bidding for the development of two domestic telecommunications satellites. Thailand’s Ministry of Transport and Communications appointed a private Bangkok-based Sinatra computer company to tender for the bid. June 13, 1991 Thailand announced that Hughes won the bid of $ 100 million, including the construction of a satellite tracking station. Hughes decided to adopt the HS-376’s improved spin satellite, weighing only 408 kilograms, 25% lighter than the HS-376, making it a small communications satellite and intending to launch the new satellite lightly as soon as possible The current competitive international small satellite market.
