What Type of Order?

Usage:

Brazil's second generation of communications satellites are the result of joint efforts in the United States and Brazil. The new spacecraft are called the Brasilsat B series, and are widebody, more powerful versions of Boeing Satellite Development Center's (formerly Hughes Space and Communications Company) popular 376 model, the 376W. Like the first-generation satellites, the Brasilsat B spacecraft provide basic telecommunications services: telephone, television, facsimile and data transmission, and business networks. The new 376W satellites are larger and more powerful, have greater capacity, and employ the latest technologies. The extra power provides better performance without an increase in user costs.
