ABSTRACT:
A geostationary satellite includes a three-axis stabilized body including an onboard computer and at least one solar generator wing extending in a longitudinal direction from the body and coupled to the body by a drive system controlled by the onboard computer and adapted to rotate the wing at least about its longitudinal axis. The satellite further comprises a static radar surveillance device including at least one antenna formed of elementary plane radiating patches and adapted to scan at least part of the space surrounding the satellite body.
