    The Alcatel Spacebus 4000 will be dubbed Turksat 3A and will provide
    telecom and television broadcast service in Turkey and parts of Europe
    and Central Asia.

    The spacecraft will replace the current Turksat 1C and will be fitted
    with 24Ku-band transponders with 8 kilowatts of power.
