Hardened Skynet 5 military satellites
The two Airbus SCOT (Satellite
Communications Onboard
Terminal) terminals linked
the ship − via the hardened
Skynet 5 military satellites in
geostationary orbit − to allow
the crew and Aircraft Carrier
Alliance to capture trials data
and maintain the information
flow back ashore. This enabled
key data to be transmitted as
the trials progressed.
