            Abstract : 
Parametric Payload evaluations for the first generation european land mobile satellite system (EMS) are presented. The reported examples show that it is possible to provide an in-orbit capacity of several hundred voice channels by a piggy back payload compatible with the current series of EUTELSAT II and ITALSAT F2 spacecrafts.
