TURKSAT 4B is a Turkish telecommunications satellite owned by Turksat AS of Ankara. Based on the DS2000 satellite platform made in Japan by Mitsubishi Electric Corp., Turksat 4B is designed for a 15-year service life, but engineers expect the satellite will have enough fuel reserves to operate 30 years. The Ka-band payload will support high-speed Internet services, adding 3 gigabits per second of capacity to Turksat's network, according to a statement on the company's website. The Ku-band transponders will broadcast television programming. From a final operating post in geosynchronous orbit at 50 degrees east longitude, Turksat 4B will reach a coverage zone spanning from Europe to Afghanistan, including Turkey, the Middle East and Africa.
