The new transponder has a similar footprint to the old one, so the reception area and equipment needed shouldn’t change. KCTV has been on its current transponder since at least 2007, which is shortly after Thaicom-5 was launched. It’s moving from the current transponder 3G at 3504MHz H to transponder 7G at 3695MHz H. Korean Central Television (KCTV) is moving transponders on the Thaicom-5 satellite at the end of this month.Īnyone receiving the channel via satellite will have to retune to continue watching.

The satellite was launched on an Ariane 5ECA carrier rocket, contracted by Arianespace, flying from ELA-3 at the Guiana Space Centre. It is equipped with 25 G/H band (IEEE C band) and 14 J band (IEEE K u band) transponders, and at launch it had a mass of 2,800 kilograms (6,200 lb), with an expected operational lifespan of 12 years.

It was completed in 1997, and stored until June 2005 when it was cancelled and sold back to Thaicom as Thaicom 5. It was originally ordered as Thaicom 4, but sold to Agrani as Agrani 2 before completion. Thaicom 5 was constructed by Alcatel Alenia Space, and is based on the Spacebus 3000A satellite bus, with a configuration identical to the Thaicom 3 satellite which it replaced.
