OTS
Orbital Test Satellite

The Guarniero model is used in this illustration.

The Satellite
ESA started to develop communications satellites in 1968 and launched an Orbital Test Satellite (OTS) 10 years later. The OTS satellite was used for more then 13 years by ESA and Eutelsat (Europe's organisation for satellite telecommunications) and by European national telecommunications companies to demonstrate new services, such as broadcasting to cable feeds and direct-to-home television. Its design inspired the conception of many subsequent satellites in Europe.

The 1:60 tablemodel created using advanced design- and manufacturing techniques. The scale model has been made exactly matching the authentic designs, respecting all details.

Atelier Guarniero creates high quality space models, many of which are part of the ESA space program and of the International Space Station (ISS). Each scale model is made exactly matching the real spacecraft using information provided by the European space agency. At the moment we are working on a new line of rocket models beginning with the Soyuz launcher. We are planning to create a full line of rockets to complement our collection of satellites. Make sure to check back often to see pictures of every new satellite we produce.
