[QUOTE="skomedal, post: 910649, member: 280388"] ASTRA 2G hosts 62 Ku-band transponders and four Ka-band transponders. It also carries a Ka-band and X-band communications package for the government of Luxembourg, which intends to use capacity on ASTRA 2G to meet regulatory requirements allowing the country to keep a soon-to-expire frequency allocation needed for a future military communications satellite. Luxembourg plans to develop a dedicated satellite named GovSat to provide its military and allies with extra communications capacity.
