The  Boeing 601 satellite is a body-stabilized geostationary satellite. 

The Boeing 601 was introduced in 1987 to meet anticipated requirements for high-power, multiple-payload satellites for such applications as direct television broadcasting to small receiving antennas, very small aperture terminals for private business networks, and mobile communications. The basic configuration features as many as 48 transponders and offers up to 4,800 watts. 

A more powerful version, the Boeing 601HP, made its debut in 1995. The HP versions can carry payloads twice as powerful as the classic Boeing 601 models, through such innovations as gallium arsenide solar cells, advanced battery technology, and an optional xenon ion propulsion system. The 601HP features as many as 60 transponders and provides up to 10,000 watts.

The Boeing 702 satellite is a family of geostationnary satellites designed and manufactured by the company Boeing.

Its design requirements include lower cost and high reliability. It offers a broad spectrum of modularity. A primary example is payload/bus integration. After the payload is tailored to customer specifications, the payload module mounts to the common bus module at only four locations and with only six electrical connectors. This design simplicity confers advantages. First, nonrecurring program costs are reduced, because the bus does not need to be changed for every payload, and payloads can be freely tailored without affecting the bus. Second, the design permits faster parallel bus and payload processing. This leads to the third advantage: a short production schedule.

CLS (Collect Localisation Satellites) is a CNES subsidiary which operates and/or processes data from more than 80 instruments on board nearly 40 satellites.

It has acquired expertise and experience during more than 20 years of operating satellite systems. CLS is a major contributor to global efforts in the field of environmental monitoring, sustainable management of marine resources and maritime safety.

EPOCH IPS is a COTS software product (Commercially available Off-The-Shelf) intially developed by the company Integral System Inc., which is now Kratos ISI Inc. (after the merger with Kratos in 2011).

EPOCH is a product solution for satellite command and control. It is able to control an array of satellites with minimal personnel. A combination of EPOCH IPS’s open architecture, graphical user interface and automated monitoring and control features allows users to monitor and control both satellite and ground systems. EPOCH IPS’s architecture consists of several servers and user workstations all connected through an Ethernet local access network (LAN). EPOCH Integrated Product Suite contains EPOCH T&C Serverand EPOCH Client, which are Integral Systems' real-time satellite data processing and control software products. EPOCH Integrated Product Suite provides satellite command and control capabilities, including telemetry processing and display, commanding and command verification, ground-station control, alarm or event processing and data archiving. These functions are driven by the EPOCH Database product, allowing the system to support multiple satellites through database updates without modifying the run-time software.
