Comments: The BSAT 3c/JCSAT 110R is a Japanese satellite. The spacecraft is designed for a 15-year tandem mission for two Japanese communications firms. Known as BSAT 3c and JCSAT 110R, the satellite was built by Lockheed Martin Corp. based on the A2011A platform. Broadcasting Satellite System Corp., or B-SAT, and SKY Perfect JSAT Corp. will use the BSAT 3c/JCSAT 110R spacecraft on separate missions. Both companies are based in Tokyo. B-SAT will use the spacecraft for a television broadcasting mission. B-SAT's largest shareholder is the Japanese broadcaster NHK. The rest of the craft's capacity will be managed by SKY Perfect JSAT for other telecommunications services, including direct digital television programming. The BSAT 3c/JCSAT 110R satellite is heading for an operational position in geosynchronous orbit along the equator at 110 degrees east longitude. It carries 24 Ku-band transponders split between its two operators.
