The Boeing 601 (sometimes referred to as the BSS-601, and previously as the HS-601) is a communications satellite bus introduced in 1987 by Hughes Space and Communications Company. The more advanced 601HP derivative (for "high power") was introduced in 1995. Hughes, and the 601 platforms, were acquired by Boeing in 2000.
Design
Structure
The 601 bus is divided into two modules. The first module houses the propulsion system, batteries, and electronics for the bus, and bears launch vehicle loads. The second module contains shelves carrying the communications equipment, payload electronics, and heat pipes. Solar arrays, reflectors, and antenna feeds are mounted to the payload module.
Payload
The standard 601 platform supports up to 48 transponders and provides up to 4,800 watts of power. The 601HP supports up to 60 transponders and provides up to 10,000 watts.
Failures
A significant number of Boeing 601s have experienced failures in orbit, some resulting in complete failure of the satellite.
