Ovzon 3 is a planned small communications satellite of the Swedish / US company Ovzon . The satellite was ordered in December 2018 from Maxar Technologies to meet the demand for increased mobile broadband connectivity in under-served regions. Ovzon selected the new mid-size SSL-500 (Legion class) platform for its first satellite. The satellite will be equipped with a third party built central on-board processor (OBP) attached to high-performance steerable Ku-band beams.
Limiting rule: No flight through a thick (>4500 ft) cloud layer extending across the freezing level.
max-top 6705 m, mean 3978 m, 92% cover, freezing 5054 m · max cloud-top 6705 m above freezing 5054 m (92% cover in 10 nmi) · no GLM flashes within 25 nmi / 30 min, likely cirrus / stratiform ice rather than cumulus
