      Space42’s Thuraya 4 satellite reaches Kennedy Space Center launch site

      The new Thuraya 4 geostationary satellite will be launched in December and will deliver superior mobility solutions across Europe, Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

       Space42’s Thuraya 4 telecommunications satellite, built by Airbus, has reached its destination at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, where it will be launched into orbit by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket in December 2024. The satellite was shipped from Toulouse, France, onboard an Airbus BelugaST (A300-600ST).

      The new Thuraya 4 geostationary satellite will deliver superior capabilities and increase coverage across Europe, Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East, enabling next-generation mobility solutions for customers. In 2020, Airbus was selected to build Thuraya 4 by Yahsat, now part of Space42.

      Commenting on the development, Ali Al Hashemi, CEO of Yahsat Space Services, Space42, said: “We are delighted that the Thuraya 4 satellite has reached its final destination before launch. Thuraya 4 is at the core of our next-generation mobility solutions plans and demonstrates our commitment to harnessing advanced SpaceTech to unlock innovative AI-powered services for our global client base. Thuraya 4 will significantly expand our product offerings with more than 15 new products when it becomes fully operational.”

      Alain Fauré, Head of Space Systems at Airbus Defence and Space said: “The shipment of Thuraya 4 represents a major milestone and reinforces our longstanding partnership with Yahsat Space Services at Space42, stretching back more than 10 years. In addition to being fully electric, Thuraya 4 also features Airbus’ latest processed payload technology to give increased flexibility and adaptability to Space42’s customers across land, sea and air.”

      Leveraging the state-of-the-art all-electric Airbus Eurostar Neo Platform, Thuraya 4 will incorporate a 12 metre antenna operating in L-Band and a payload with on-board processing. This will provide advanced routing flexibility of up to 3200 channels with dynamic power allocation over a large number of spot beams.

      Thuraya 4 is one of the largest MSS communication satellites produced which allows for more services, higher speeds, and higher level of performance security. Thuraya 4 will enable Space42 to cover a greater spectrum and support customers across industries, including defense, government, and enterprise.
