为了迅速改变通信落后的面貌,印度在自己研制试验性通信卫星的同时,又向美国福特航空空间和通信公司订购了两颗国内通信卫星,以建立国内卫星系统。在购买卫星之前,印度空间研究组织事先自己制定卫星系统的基本方案和合理的“固定价格”,然后才与美国福特航空空间和通信公司谈判,最后于1978年8月签订了正式合同。按合同规定,福特公司负责研制两颗卫星以及卫星控制中心所需的地面设备。而与卫星控制中心接口的地面天线和电子设备以及32个通信地面站和几千个直接电视广播接收站,则由
In order to quickly change the backwardness of its communications, India, in addition to developing its own experimental communications satellite, ordered two domestic telecommunications satellites from Ford Aviation and Communications to establish a domestic satellite system. Prior to the purchase of satellites, the Indian Space Research Organization established its own basic scheme of satellite systems and a reasonable “fixed price” before it negotiated with Ford Aviation and space communications companies before finally signing a formal contract in August 1978. Under the terms of the contract, Ford Motor Company is responsible for the development of two satellites and the ground equipment needed for a satellite control center. While terrestrial antennas and electronic equipment interfacing with the satellite control center, as well as 32 communications earth stations and several thousand direct television broadcast receiving stations,
