Regional African Satellite Communication Organization
The Regional African Satellite Communication Organization (RASCOM) will provide telecommunication services, direct TV broadcast services and Internet access in rural areas of Africa. Under an agreement with RASCOM, RascomStar-QAF (a private company registered in Mauritius) will implement RASCOM's first communications satellite project. This joint African project is expected to lower the continent's dependency on international satellite networks such as Intelsat.
== RASCOM-QAF1 ==
RASCOM-QAF1 is the first satellite entirely dedicated to the African continent. Thales Alenia Space built the satellite in the Cannes Mandelieu Space Center, France. The company has delivered the satellite in-orbit, and will supply the ground infrastructure needed to operate it. The spacecraft is based on the Spacebus 4000B3 platform, with a payload of twelve Ku-band transponders and eight C-band transponders. It weighed about at launch.
Launch aboard an Ariane 5GS rocket took place on 2007-12-21.〔

They expect its lifetime to be slightly over 2 years.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 RASCOM-QAF1 satellite injected in final geostationary orbit )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Newly launched satellite beset by major problem )〕
