A full-scale high-definition display model of OHB's first SmallGEO communications satellite, Hispasat Advanced Generation 1, at the 2015 Paris Air Show. The image shows the main satellite platform with radiator panels (silver) and thermal insulation (gold). The solar arrays are displayed in the partially deployed position: they are folded against the platform for launch and deployed perpendicular to the radiator face once in geostationary orbit. Two deployable antenna reflectors are also shown.
