On April/KOOC-0//KOOC-0/,2003, AsiaSat-4 was launched from Cape Canaveral Space Center, Florida, USA, carried by Atlas IIIB rocket manufactured by Lockheed Martin, and fixed in geosynchronous orbit at/KOOC-0/22 degrees east longitude. AsiaSat-4 is a high-power communication satellite, model BSS60 1HP, produced by Boeing Satellite Systems (formerly Hughes Systems). It is equipped with 28 C-band transponders and 20 Ku-band transponders, which has the characteristics of long life, high power, moderate orbit position and high on-orbit accuracy. Ku-band BSS transponder resources will be provided in Asia for the first time, providing technical means for developing live TV services in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and South China.
