National, April 17, 2000 -- Alcatel Space, Europe's leading
satellite
exporter, today announced the completion and delivery to Hughes
Space
& Communications Company of the first of two state-of-the-art
communications payloads for XM Satellite Radio (NASDAQ:XMSR). The
second payload is scheduled for delivery in May 2000.
The XM payload was manufactured and integrated onto its module at
Alcatel Space's Toulouse, France, facility. On Friday, April 14,
2000,
it was shipped to Hughes' spacecraft factory in El Segundo, CA,
where
the 3,500-pound payload module will be integrated into Hughes' 702
spacecraft bus. Hughes Space & Communications (HSC), the world's
leading manufacturer of commercial communications satellites, will
conduct functional, antenna range and environmental testing on the
spacecraft in preparation for launch later this year.

Big deal. GM makes the Humvee and provided parts (including
allison transmissions) for the Abrams M-1A1. And there's their
GM Defense division, as well.

Read it again 'tard!!!!! It's a Hughes 702 satellite in that article... Boeing
acquired Hughes in 2000... subsequent XM satellites are BOEING 702's....

Damn, can't you read you stupid piece of **** 'tard?

Repeating, can't you read you stupid piece of **** 'tard?

Do some more research you stupid piece of ****, then go tote it!

Can you list the program, frequency and time you listen to it please.

It doesn't have to be a program. It can be just be the best Ham or most
interesting frequency according to you.

How can you tolerate using XM Radio when their service is carried via
BOEING satellites - your use of XM is now helping to provide revenue
to a company that is a mass murderer.
I like mass murder. More stuff for the survivors. What I was
pointing out was the absurdity of a company that makes death machines
letting go of someone on moral grounds.

BTW: When the XM satellites were built, the contractor was General
Motors.
Sorta, it was called just plain Hughes at that time though in full it
was General Motors Hughes Electronics, we seldom called ourselve GM.
GM bought Hughes Aircraft then it was split up for sale to Raytheon
(most of the military business) and one of the remaining divisions,
HSC - Hughes Space and Communications, was sold to Boeing. DirecTV
was a subsidiary of HSC in it's early days, a creation of the folks in
Hughes who operated the satellite fleet mostly known as 'Galaxy.' I
know the history as I've been there 25 years, since it was Hughes
Aircraft Company - under the umbrella of the Hughes Medical
Foundation. In fact David, I am a Project Manager on the XM Satellite
program.

DX ......... I've given him a quick history, just posted a few moments
ago. As mentioned, I'm a 25 year veteran of Hughes Aircraft/General
Motors Hughes Electronics/Boeing Satellite Systems. And guess what -
we've just changed our name again! We are now SDC - Satellite Design
Center of Space and Information Systems, Integrated Defense Systems,
Boeing. I'm sure you understand, just a division buried in a larger
company - not sure if some other(s) will catch on though.

Does it bother you that the signals your satellites send out kill
people? Or am I interpreting David's rants wrong?

Our satellite signals kill people? Damn, we'll have to advertise that
as a new feature and charge our customers more 8-}
