Abstract :
Results of operations and experiments performed with the Japanese broadcasting satellite (BSE) are introduced. The BSE was launched in April 1978 for the purpose of technical evaluation of the 12 GHz satellite broadcasting system. One year long experience with the BSE proves the feasibility of direct television broadcasting from the satellite as well as the soundness of design and technology applied for the BSE.
