Agila(e. hemi. list)
(to Western Hemisphere,Eastern Hemisphere,Footprints by Dish Size)

In June 1995 after a competitive international tender, Aerospatiale 
was selected by Philippines Agila Satellite Inc. (PASI) for the 
implementation of the Agila satellite communications system. The 
Agila contract calls for the delivery of a complete system on a 
turnkey basis, with two satellites and two ground control stations. 
The first satelllite is to be delivered in orbit in 1998, the 
second will be a ready-to-launch ground spare. The satellite is a 
Spacebus 3000 spacecraft with a launch mass of about 2600 kg and a
4750 W (end of life) power supply. It is to have a 15-year lifetime.
Agila will be the first satellite to cover the Philippines, South 
East Asia, and Hawaii from an orbital position reserved by the 
Philippine administration at 161° East.
