Atlanta - Feb. 8, 2001
Under a contract worth US$23 million, a Canadian unit of EMS Technologies has won a contract to supply Moscow-based Khrunichev State Research and Production Center, with three flight satellite repeaters and one engineering model.

The satellite repeaters will provide fixed satellite service communications throughout Russia, Eastern Europe and Western Asia and are baselined to fly on board the Dialog satellites.

These repeaters, being designed and manufactured by EMS Technologies' Space & Technology Group in Montreal, Canada, will receive, filter, amplify and re-transmit communications signals in C & Ku-Band and are expected to be delivered over a 48-month schedule.

Don Osborne, senior vice-president and general manager, EMS' Space & Technology Group - Montreal, stated, "This is a fine example of EMS' ability to deliver complex spacecraft payload equipment to customers around the world, and is a significant step forward in our decade-long experience in working closely with Russian customers."
