NewSat CEO Adrian Ballintine and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen founded the company in 1987. NewSat started as a multimedia business. It survived the dotcom crash to evolve into a fully-fledged satellite communications company. Most NewSat customers are located in Australia, the Middle East and Africa. Having made a $39.7 million loss in the second half of 2014, and with $300 million in outstanding loan repayments, NewSat was placed in administration in mid April 2015.〔http://www.smh.com.au//breaking-news-business/satellite-leader-placed-in-administration-20150417-3uabf.html〕 ==Jabiru Fleet== NewSat-owned Jabiru is Australia's first independently owned satellite operator to manage a fleet of commercial Ku- and Ka-band satellites. Its Jabiru-1 Ka-band satellite, scheduled to take off in 2016, will cater to mobile communications carrier and private and public organizations across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia.〔("Multi-Million Deal for Australia's First Independent Satellite Communications Provider" )〕 In mid February 2014 NewSat had secured funding (around US$400 million) that allowed to proceed with construction of the Jabiru-1 satellite, and had paid Lockheed Martin close to US$170 million, out of an expected total cost of US$268 million.〔("All systems go for NewSat's Jabiru-1 satellite" - The Australian, 18th February 2014 ) (accessed 2015-02-26)〕 Total project cost was expected to be US$600 (AU$664) million, including US$116 million for the rocket to put the satellite in orbit in the second half of 2015. At that time, NewSat confirmed that 18% capacity of the satellite had already been sold, at an estimated value of AU$644 million.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「NewSat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
