About the Intersputnik International Organization of Space Communications

Founded in 1971, Intersputnik is an international intergovernmental organization, which today unites 26 member countries. The organization’s mission is to contribute to the consolidation and expansion of economic, scientific, technological and cultural relations using satellite telecommunications, video and audio broadcasting and to support cooperation and coordination of the efforts of the member countries aimed at designing, procuring, operating and expanding the satellite telecommunications system of Intersputnik.

Intersputnik’s unique status makes it possible for the organization to do business based on international cooperation. The organization has access to the resources of most satellite operators across the world and major satellite telecommunications systems, including ABS, Azerspace, Belintersat, Eutelsat, Intelsat, SES, Turkmen Hemrasy, Express, and Yamal. Intersputnik makes available to users on all continents the resource of geostationary and non-geostationary satellites and the whole range of up-to-date satellite telecommunications and broadcasting services including the establishment of corporate and department satellite networks, backhauling, broadband access to the Internet, communications with mobile objects, as well as installation of broadcasting distribution networks in any geographic location. Through its subsidiary Isatel, Intersputnik offers full-scale services encompassing the establishment and operation of satellite telecommunications networks, including ground infrastructure.

Owing to its status of an intergovernmental satellite organization, Intersputnik files frequency assignments to satellite networks on various orbits in order to implement projects aimed at establishing satellite telecommunications systems in cooperation with the member countries and signatories of the organization and other partners.
