About Inclined Orbit Satellites:

In order to extend the life span of a geostationary satellite, the North-south station keeping maneuvers are suspended. The North-South station keeping consumes 90% of the satellite rocket fuel, therefore suspending them saves fuel and allow additional several years of satellite operation.

Without the station keeping, the satellites North-South inclination is growing by around 0.8o every year.

In order for earth station to track the inclined orbit satellite, the antenna should be motorized, and equipped with tracking system.

Antenna motorization allows the antenna to focus precisely on the satellite and keep it in the best possible position in relation to the satellite. A significant advantage of these satellites is the significantly reduced cost of the space on the satellite. These systems become highly cost effective to customers with high capacity of the required space.

The Advantage of Inclined Orbit Satellites:

Significant Saving in Service-Inclined Orbit service is cost effective in terms of the costs of service and operation of the system through its life time. Service costs are significantly lower when compared to the alternative services offered.

High Quality of Service-A continuous tracking of the satellite ensures the best focus on the satellite position, which in turn, ensures the highest quality of the reception of the signal received and transmitted.

Proven Technology with Wide Utilization over the world-Inclined Orbit Satellites requires motors and tracking system which can be added to the standard Earth-Station equipment. Tracking systems are widely used at national telecoms of practically every country. SkyVision brings the advantages of this technology to the commercial internet world.

Designed and Used for High Volume Costomers—Inclined orbit satellite platform is specially suited to serve PTTs, Carriers and large Internet service providers in Africa and over the world.
