EL SEGUNDO, California, 20 de diciembre de 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Boeing (NYSE: BA) anunció hoy la adjudicación de un contrato por aproximadamente US$1,000 millones de parte del gobierno mexicano para la entrega de un sistema integral de comunicaciones satelitales. El sistema, denominado MEXSAT, consta de tres satélites, dos estaciones terrenas, los sistemas de operaciones de red correspondientes y terminales de usuario de referencia. MEXSAT proveerá comunicaciones seguras para las necesidades de seguridad nacional de México, así como una cobertura mejorada para las telecomunicaciones civiles.

"MEXSAT es la cuarta generación de satélites que Boeing ha suministrado a México para comunicaciones satelitales gubernamentales y civiles", dijo Craig Cooning, director general ejecutivo (CEO) de Boeing Satellite Systems International. "MEXSAT ha sido desarrollado con base en 13 años de experiencia de parte de Boeing en el diseño y la fabricación de avanzados sistemas de satélites geoestacionarios para servicios móviles."

Conforme a los términos del contrato, Boeing entregará un sistema llave en mano completo que se compone de dos satélites geoestacionarios para servicios móviles (o "GEO-Mobile") Boeing 702HP denominados MEXSAT 1 y MEXSAT 2, así como un satélite para banda C extendida y banda Ku, llamado MEXSAT 3, que proveerá servicios satelitales fijos (FSS) desde una órbita geosíncrona. El primer lanzamiento programado es el de MEXSAT 3, a finales de 2012.

Cada satélite Boeing suministrará 14 kilowatts de potencia mediante alas de arreglos de cinco paneles solares dotadas de celdas fotovoltaicas de arseniuro de galio de triple unión de alta eficiencia. Cada una de las naves transportará un reflector de banda L de 22 metros para servicios satelitales móviles (MSS), complementado por una antena de banda Ku de 2 metros.

Boeing subcontratará la fabricación del satélite MEXSAT 3 y de un centro de operaciones a su empresa asociada Orbital Sciences Corporation (NYSE: ORB). MEXSAT 3, un satélite Orbital Star 2.4, brindará cobertura total al territorio mexicano y sus aguas patrimoniales, y transmitirá comunicaciones civiles a fin de coadyuvar al desarrollo socioeconómico del país.

Asimismo, Boeing desarrollará dos estaciones terrenas equipadas con avanzada tecnología de flexibilidad de conformación del haz para dirigir haces puntuales de usuario móvil a dependencias gubernamentales que operan en México y sus aguas patrimoniales, tanto en el litoral del Pacífico como en el Golfo de México.

Con anterioridad, Boeing suministró cinco satélites para el gobierno mexicano: los satélites Morelos 1 y Morelos 2, ambos puestos en órbita en 1985; los satélites Solidaridad 1 y Solidaridad 2, lanzados en 1993 y 1994; y el Satmex 5, lanzado en 1998. Solidaridad 2, que ya ha rebasado la vida útil estipulada en el contrato, aún continúa en servicio, y se espera que el satélite Satmex 5 deje de operar en 2012.

(2:30 p.m. hora del este), para hablar sobre este nuevo contrato.
