Artemis (satellite)

Artemis is a geostationary earth orbit satellite (GEOS) for telecommunications, built for ESA. The Artemis satellite operates at the 21.5E orbital position. The mission was planned for many years, with launch initially intended for 1995 and slipping; it was intended for launch on Ariane 5 but at one point there were suggestions that a Japanese H-II rocket might be used. On January 1, 2014 Avanti, a London-based company, took the ownership of the satellite.
