JSAT 31 [TAS]
SKY Perfect JSATs JSAT-31 is a new series of software-defined communications satellites based on Thales Alenia Space's Space-Inspire platform.
JSAT-31 High Throughput Satellite, which operates in both the Ka and Ku frequency bands, will provide high-speed internet services throughout Japan, South-East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific islands. JSAT-31, the largest capacity in the history of SKY Perfect JSAT spacecraft, is scheduled to launch in 2027.
Additionally, beginning with JSAT-31, SKY Perfect JSAT will refer to their new satellites as "JSAT" rather than "JCSAT" and "Superbird". JSAT-31 is the 31st satellite acquired by SKY Perfect JSAT, counting from JCSAT-1.
Launch is planned for 2027.
