A joint B-SAT and JCSAT satellite at 110°E providing expanded capacity for Japan's most critical broadcasting position. The 110°E slot is where Japanese households point their satellite dishes for national broadcasting — any failure at this position would disrupt television reception for millions of viewers. BSAT-3C provides essential backup and additional capacity for Japan's broadcasting resilience.
