Palapa-C1 is an Indonesian communications satellite which reached its target orbit on 1 February 1996. It was built by Hughes Space and Communications Company for Indonesian telecommunications provider PT Satelit Palapa Indonesia (SATELINDO).[1]
PT Satelit Palapa Indonesia (SATELINDO) chose Hughes in April 1993. It was based on the HS-601 satellite bus. Construction was done at El Segundo, California. Hughes also augmented the new master control station at Daan Mogot City near Jakarta. It had 30 C-band transponders and 4 Ku-band transponders. It was due to be located in geosynchronous orbit at 113° East above the equator.[1]
Palapa-C1 was launched by a Atlas IIAS launch vehicle on 1 February 1996 at 01:15:01 UTC.[2] The satellites were launched from Cape CanaveralinFlorida.[2] The liquid apogee engine of the satellite then raises it to geostationary orbit.[3]
Hughes Global Services purchased the satellite and renamed HGS-3.[3]
The satellite was renamed Anatolia-1.[3]
The satellite was renamed in December 2002, Paksat-1, by the Pakistan Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunications.[3]
