Star One C1 is a Brazilian communications satellite. It was launched on 14 November 2007 by an Ariane 5ECA carrier rocket, as part of a dual-payload launch with Skynet 5B. It was built by Thales Alenia Space, based on the Spacebus-3000B3 satellite bus.{{Cite web |title=Star One C1, C2 |url=https://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/starone-c.htm |access-date=2023-05-20 |website=Gunter's Space Page |language=en}} It is operated by Star One, a subsidiary of Embratel.
Overview
It was launched atop an Ariane 5-ECA rocket at 22:06 UTC on November 14, 2007. This launch had previously been delayed from November 9 due to a problem with the rocket, and then from November 12 due to a problem with the launch pad. Star One C1 was built by Thales Alenia Space based on a Spacebus 3000 B3 platform. It has 28 C-band transponders, 14 Ku-band transponders and one X-band transponder, and weighed about {{convert|4100|kg}} at launch.{{Cite web|url=http://www.arianespace.com/news-press-release/2007/11-14-07-Arianespace-boosts-Skynet-5B.asp|title=Arianespace boosts Skynet 5B and Star One C1 into orbit: Sets new record|publisher=Arianespace|date=2007-11-14}}
