- The first paper to address design of high throughput satellites (HTS) with multiple beams and frequency reuse and realisation of a Terabit/sec satellite. This work (funded as a speculative idea from ourselves to ESA) encouraged ESA to fund two parallel contracts for the detailed design-value 1.5m€ (Approaching the Terabit/s satellite contracts 4000 103562/3/11/NL/AD) to Airbus and TAS who confirmed our feasibility study design. The work now forms the basis of all such HTS satellite designs and production. (philippe.boutry@airbus.com). The impact is to reduce the cost per bit of satellite delivery making internet services cost effective and accessible to all.
