The Nimiq satellites are a fleet of geostationary telecommunications satellites owned by the Telesat and used by satellite television providers including Bell TV and EchoStar (Dish Network). 'Nimiq' is an Inuit word used for an object or a force which binds things together. A contest in 1998 was held to choose the name of these satellites. The contest drew over 36,000 entries. ==Nimiq 1== Nimiq 1 was launched on May 21, 1999 by a Proton-K Blok DM-3 rocket from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. It was Canada's first direct broadcast digital TV satellite and was paid for by Telesat, a Canadian communications company and subsidiary of Bell Canada Enterprises.〔()〕 * Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin * Satellite Type: Lockheed Martin A2100AX * Weight: 3600 kg (about 7920 pounds) * Dimensions: 5.8 x 2.4 x 2.4 m and a 27 m² solar array * DC power: 120 W * Expected lifetime: 12 years * Transponders: 32 * Vehicle: Proton K Bloc DM 3 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「Nimiq」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
