AbstractThe Japanese domestic broadcast satellite, “Medium-Scale Broadcasting Satellite for Experimental Purpose” (BSE), is an important step toward a new performance level in TV broadcasting. It is an experimental system capable of evaluating new concepts in satellite TV systems that promises advancement in the economic coverage of a large, well-defined geographical area and in high quality TV reception in all sectors of the broadcast area. Significant progress has been made in Japan and in the United States for all segments of the BSE System, leading to the planned launch early in 1978. The overall mission characteristics, key design features of the spacecraft, and the development tests used to verify key performance requirements are reviewed.
