BELINTERSAT 1 is the first communications satellite of Belarus. Owned by the government of Belarus, Belintersat 1's C-band and Ku-band transponders will broadcast television and radio programming, support corporate networking, and provide broadband Internet connectivity. The Belarusian government set up the Belintersat project to give the nation's broadcasters access to international markets and sell the satellite's excess capacity to commercial users. Thales Alenia Space of France supplied Belintersat 1's communications payload.
