  1. Presentation to Canada- Russia Intergovernmental Economic Commission Arctic and North Working Group May 27, 2011 Jack Rigley Director New Satellite Initiatives jrigley@telesat.com

  2. Overview • Company Overview • Northern Focus • Polarsat – beyond geostationary orbit • Conclusion Telesat Proprietary and Confidential

  3. Company Overview

  4. Telesat’s History and Milestones • 1969– Telesat Created by Act of Parliament, with a mandate to provide basic (telephone and television) communications to all regions of Canada. • 1972– Telesat launched Anik A1, the world’s first commercial domestic communications satellite in geostationary orbit • 2004– Telesat launched Anik F2, first satellite to successfully commercialize the Ka-band for two-way, high speed broadband communications

  5. Global Infrastructure • Telesat is now the fourth largest Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) operator in the world providing reliable and secure satellite-delivered communications solutions to broadcast, telecom, corporate and government customers

  6. Collaboration with Russia Proton Launch Vehicle • Five of our last satellites have been launched into geostationary orbit by the Proton rocket, designed and built by Khrunichev, Moscow • So will our next three Satellite Manufacturing • Currently monitoring the construction of the Telkom 3 satellite, being built for PT Telkom by ISS Reshetnev

  7. Polarsat – beyond Geostationary coverage 7

  8. The Geostationary Orbit • Coverage from Geostationary satellites 0 degrees elevation

  9. The need for circumpolar coverage • Meteorological • Circumpolar Coverage 100% at 60° North and above for weather monitoring • Communications • Current Area of Interest outlined in blue as defined by the Canadian Space Agency • Coverage can be expanded to include other arctic regions • Satellite could also include: • aviation communications • navigation augmentation,

  10. The Telesat Approach to Polar Constellation • A two satellite constellation can meet these requirements • Satellite design life of 15 years in a space environment similar to geostationary orbit where we currently operate our 13 satellites • A financial model based on payment of services over the period in which these services are provided • Commercial approach to the development, procurement and operation of the satellite system • Expect government to be the main client but also believe their is increasing commercial interest in communications in this area

  11. Demonstration of Coverage

  12. Conclusion Fundamentals of Telesat’s approach to providing circumpolar coverage A mission which meets user requirements • communications and weather monitoring A mission with 15 year design life • spacecraft , communications and meteorological payloads A mission implemented under a Private Public Partnership • lower risk, lower cost • firm fixed price • pre-determined on-going payments matched to delivery of service Looking for other applications and markets in the circumpolar region jrigley@telesat.com
