Lockheed Martin A2100 satellite illustration Lockheed Martin announced this week that Japanese satellite operator JSAT has ordered a new satellite from the company. Lockheed will build the JCSAT-11 satellite for JSAT under a contract announced on Monday. The satellite, a A2100AX model communications satellite, will feature a mix of high-power Ku-band transponders and medium-power C-band transponders.
