The Intersputnik International Organization of Space Communications and Golden Telecom, a leading independent telecommunication operator in Russia and other countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), has signed a contract for the lease of two C-band transponders of the LMI-1 telecommunications satellite (75o East) for the duration of five years.

The 72 MHz capacity leased by Golden Telecom will be used to provide voice and data transmission within the footprint of the LMI-1 satellite�s Beam A.

Ordered by the joint venture Lockheed Martin Intersputnik, the LMI-1 spacecraft was built by Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems, USA, and brought into use in November 1999.

LMI-1 carries 44 high-power transponders in C and Ku bands and features high station-keeping accuracy. With a guaranteed active lifetime of 15 years, LMI-1 boasts a unique four-beam service area covering the whole of Russia and the CIS, Europe, South and South-East Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Australia.

LMI-1 is used by telecommunications operators and broadcasters from different countries to establish voice and data transmission channels, VSAT-based dedicated networks, digital broadcasting to distribution and user networks, as well as high-speed Internet access.
