The model was introduced in 1987 to meet anticipated requirements for high-power, multiple-payload satellites for such uses as direct television broadcasting to small antennas, mobile communications, and private business networks, and is the world's most-purchased satellite model. The Boeing 376 is second only to the Boeing 601 in popularity. The 376 spacecraft is spin stabilized, a concept developed at Hughes and used in its communication and scientific satellites for more than 20 years.BI216986 (99pr-01030)Maximum size:2260px × 2854px (~18 MB)7.5in × 9.5in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:1990s-376 satellite-376HP satellite-601HP satellite-air to air-black-blue-currently in production-digitally-enhanced images-exteriors-flying-full body views-high-tech / advanced-illustrations-orbiting-outer space-product families-satellites-solar panels-space-stars-textRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:Boeing 376 Fleet
