HISPASAT, Spanish company of space communications, guarantees the Spanish suppliers of systems and equipment for its fleet of satellites a workload of 900 million euros, at least during the next five years. The figure was received with optimism by national technological industry which, like the rest of r & d sectors, is being seriously affected by the settings of public and private investment because of the crisis in more than 30%.
EUR 900 million is budgeted money and already in phase of investment that Hispasat engaged in the construction of five new satellites, the first of which, the Amazonas-2, was launched into space successfully two weeks ago. The other four satellites are the Hispasat 1E, which will be launched in 2010; Small Geo, scheduled for 2011; and the Amazon-1R and the Hispasat CD R will be in orbit in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
