TurkmenAlem52E/MonacoSAT〔—formerly referred to as TurkmenSat 1〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Satellite Orders Report - 2011 Year-end Summary )〕—is Turkmenistan's first satellite,〔 〕 and was built by Thales Alenia Space. Launched on 27 April 2015, the satellite has an anticipated service life of 15 years. The satellite was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 launch vehicle.〔 〕〔 〕 Once operational, the satellite will cover Europe and significant part of Asian countries and Africa with downlink and uplink satellite communication services, having transmission for television, radio broadcasting and the internet.〔 〕 The satellite's operations will be controlled by the state-run Turkmenistan National Space Agency.〔 〕The satellite's official name is TurkmenAlem52E/MonacoSat. == Launch == The initial launch date of TurkmenAlem52E/MonacoSAT was planned to be March 21, 2015. The original launch date was delayed to study a problem with a helium pressurization system on the Falcon 9 rocket. A new launch date was set for no earlier than 24 April 2015,〔〔http://spaceflightnow.com/2015/03/21/spacex-swaps-order-of-next-two-falcon-9-launches/〕 SpaceX clarified the reason for the delay: "the issue wasn’t with the () bottles themselves, but rather other bottles from a similar lot that failed testing at the company’s assembly plant. ... We identified a potential condition that could be shared with those on board the Thales vehicle."〔 〕 which was subsequently adjusted by three days to 27 April 2015. 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「TurkmenAlem52E/MonacoSAT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
