Jabiru Limited

for the first time in australian history, newsat intends to launch and operate its very own next generation independant satellite in geo-stationary orbit. the satellite named jabiru-1 takes it’s name from the indigenous term for ’stork’ or bird. it’s a comparatively large satellite with many transponders weighing more than five tonnes. it will have a life span of 15 years. once launched, jabiru-1 will further enhance our leadership stance by becoming the only australian company to offer a total satellite communications service. jabiru-1 will unlock bandwidth capacity and satellite coverage that is unavailable today. it will provide our clients with access to greater ka, c and ku band coverage. we are excited to advise, that the program is progressing and is on target.
