Germany's COMSATBw-1 military communications satellite is readied for its launch on Ariane 5
The German military communications satellite passenger for Arianespace's upcoming Ariane 5 flight (Flight 191) has arrived in French Guiana to begin its pre-launch processing in preparation for a liftoff later this month.
COMSATBw-1 is a secure relay platform that will play an important role in the German Bundeswehr's (German armed forces) concept for network-centric operations.  It is to handle secure information for use by units on deployed missions - including voice, fax, data, video and multimedia applications - as the backbone of a strategic command infrastructure and interface with the tactical arms of the German Armed Forces. The overall industrial responsibility for this secure communication program is with Milsat Services (a 75% Astrium/25% subsidiary of ND SatCom Defence).
