Palapa C Footprint
Palapa C carried two standard C band beams, one focused on Southeast Asia and the other ranging from Southeast Asia to as far south as eastern Australia and New Zealand. As many as twenty four of the satellite's thirty transponders will operate through one of these two available standard beams. A minimum of six additional C band transponders will connect to an extended C-band beam which will provide excellent coverage of the Asian continent from Japan and Korea in the east, to India in the west and Malaysia in the south. Palapa C's two Ku-band beams will encompass Guam, Hong Kong, Japan, Macao, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand.
