"THAICOM 4, built for Shin Satellite Plc of Thailand,
will provide businesses and consumers throughout Asia,
Australia and New Zealand with various levels of Internet
access services. The satellite has a total data throughput
capacity of over 45 Gbps. This is the fourth Shin Satellite
to be launched by an Ariane vehicle. An Ariane 4 vehicle
launched the first satellite in 1993."
"11 August 2005 This morning an Ariane 5G launcher lifted off
from Europe’s Spaceport in French Guiana.
On board was the largest telecommunications satellite
ever to be placed into geostationary transfer orbit."
"The heavyweight THAICOM 4 (IPSTAR) satellite had a lift-off mass
of almost 6500 kg.
Before this morning’s launch, the record for the heaviest
telecommunications satellite to be placed into orbit belonged
to the Anik F2 satellite, launched by an Ariane 5 launcher
in July 2004. "
