OneSat: the customers’ choice
OneSat is revolutionising the telecoms satellite market because it opens up a new world of possibilities. Unlike earlier satellites, which are designed for defined missions, OneSat can be fully reconfigured while in orbit – and it is capable of adjusting its coverage area, capacity and frequency “on the fly” to meet evolving mission scenarios. It is a clever mix of the best of our Eurostar family and our mega-constellation expertise.
Airbus expertise = disruptive technology
OneSat is a trusted solution around the world
Inmarsat was the first customer to select the OneSat solution, signing a contract for production of this global communications operator’s next-generation Ka-band satellites – Inmarsat GX7, GX8 & GX9 – in 2019. Featuring on-board processing and active antennas, the three Ka-band spacecraft will be able to adjust their coverage, capacity and frequency.
Australia’s leading satellite operator, Optus, has also selected OneSat – choosing the product line for its Optus 11 spacecraft to deliver a combination of broadcast and broadband VHTS missions in Ku band over Australia and New Zealand.
In 2021, Intelsat announced the contract for two OneSat satellites operating in multiple frequency bands for the communications satellite services provider’s next-generation software-defined network, with Airbus delivering an end-to-end fully-integrated solution.
In addition, SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation, the main satellite operator in Japan, has selected Airbus to provide a turnkey solution, including design and manufacture of the Superbird-9 spacecraft, associated services and support for in-orbit operations and ground segment, as well as an advanced digital suite to manage the digital payload and operate the end-to-end satellite resources. It marks the first time a Japanese telecommunications operator has ordered a satellite from Europe.

The fully reconfigurable OneSat product line features major innovations and disruptive technologies including the latest digital processing and active antennas enabling several thousand beams. In addition, to meet the demanding schedule for OneSat development, Airbus is applying agile new ways of working with its industrial partners, customers and space agencies.
Superbird-9 will deliver broadcast and broadband missions in Ku band, primarily over Japan and Eastern Asia. It will bring day-to-day flexibility for the SKY Perfect JSAT fleet enabling payload missions to be configured, adapted and combined to perfectly match end-user needs. This covers everything from DTH broadcasting to broadband HTS including maritime and aero-connectivity services, utilising the latest innovations in payload technology and in-orbit resource management.
Optus 11 will deliver a combination of broadcast and broadband VHTS missions in Ku band over Australia and New Zealand, to improve Direct to Home broadcasting over the Australasia region, increase reach in the Antarctic and Pacific zones and support growth into mobile markets, helping eliminate connectivity black spots through the Australian Government’s Mobile Black Spot programme.
Airbus Defence and Space has won a contract for a fully reconfigurable telecomunications satellite from Australia’s second largest telecommunications company and leading satellite operator Optus. The satellite will be based on Airbus’ new standard OneSat product line and is Airbus’ first contract from the Australian operator.
