Militarización del Espacio

[Kique]

Se acabaron los sueños de tener su propia constelación de satalites para sustituir a Galileo. Como dice en la noticia hay sectores que reivindican que se negocio en el acuerdo de salida que RU permanezca en el programa Galileo aunque desde el gobierno se niegan.

En este caso como en otros, lo primero que deben hacer es aclararse. A pesar de que desde un punto de vista militar no tendrán problemas por la ayuda del primo americano, alrededor de todo esto, hay un montón de derivadas de índole económica, a a las que no les van a dejar hincar el diente por muy primos que sean, ponerlo en marcha tiene un coste difícilmente ásumible en solitario. Con el tiempo se irán dando cuenta y quieran o no tendrán que llamar a alguna puerta y con dinero por delante, pero a lo mejor el negocio ya lo hicieron otros.

Artículo de Airbus sobre el SpainSat NG: https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/press-r ... w-pdr.html

...
Madrid, 22 October 2020 – The SPAINSAT NG programme, owned and operated by Hisdesat, has successfully passed the preliminary design review (PDR) of the payload and the full satellite, including PDR of Pacis 3 (PPP) elements. SPAINSAT NG is being manufactured by a consortium of four co-primes from Airbus in Spain and France, and Thales Alenia Space in Spain and France.
...
The SPAINSAT NG programme comprises two satellites, SpainSat NG I and II which will be situated in different geostationary positions to operate in X, military Ka and UHF bands.

The communication payloads of both satellites are provided by Spanish industry, including integration of the Communications Module in Spain, a major step forward for Spanish industry. Airbus in Spain is responsible for the X band payload, while Thales Alenia Space in Spain is responsible for the UHF and Ka band payloads. Other companies from the Spanish space industry are also involved. The UHF payload is a new development in Spain, positioning the country at the forefront of the few countries in the world with national systems in the military UHF band.

The satellites are based on the Eurostar Neo platform, Airbus’ new geostationary telecommunications satellite product, a significant evolution of the highly reliable and successful Eurostar series with an entire range of major innovations. SpainSat NG satellites include an X band fully flexible payload, employing active antennas with in orbit reconfiguration capability, an on-board digital processor that will interconnect the X and Ka band payloads for cross-banding, and a dedicated high speed service link enabling fast re-configuration.
...
The development of SPAINSAT NG is supported by the Spanish Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) in the framework of a public-private partnership between the European Space Agency (ESA) and the satellite operator Hisdesat, called Pacis 3.

The ESA Partnership Project supports the development and integration of innovative satellite payload elements, such as the reconfigurable transmit and receive X-band active antennas, and the deployable pallet with individually steerable Ka-band antennas. The Partnership Project will de-risk the partners’ investments to answer market needs through the development of a sustainable end-to-end system up to in-orbit validation. It will also demonstrate novel pooling and sharing concepts to ultimately provide more affordable, flexible and secure communications services for governmental users in Europe.
...
The first of these New Generation SpainSat satellites will be launched at the end of 2023 and the second one a year later, guaranteeing the continuity of secure communications services.

The SpainSat NG satellites will have an operational lifetime of 15 years, remaining in service up to 2039.

Es un tema que tocaron en la charla, pero tambien como dicen es un planteamiento del siglo pasado ya que estamos en una época donde el acceso al espacio se esta abaratando y aumenta el numero de países con capacidad de acceder al espacio. Por otro lado los satélites se miniatuarizan y se aumenta el numero llegando a proyectar constelaciones de varios miles de satélites.

Falta por ver la integración de los efectivos del US Army, para poder decir que tienen fuerzas de guerra orbital.
