Palapa C Satellite

Launched in January 1996, Indonesia's Palapa C1 replaced the Palapa B2P satellite located at 113 degrees east longitude. Palapa C1 carried thirty C band transponders, each with a bandwidth of 36 MHz, and four Ku band transponders, each with a bandwidth of 72 MHz. Palapa C1 does not only transmit using the conventional C band frequency spectrum of 3.7 to 4.2 GHz but also within a lower range of frequencies extending from 3.4 to 3.68 GHz. The Ku band frequency spectrum to be used by Palapa C1 ranges from 10.95 to 11.7 GHz.
