## Satellites of Greece

Christodoulos Protopapas, June 29, 2017, French Guiana. Launch day of the HELLAS SAT 3 satellite.

Hellas Sat is a company active in the field of satellite systems and communications. It was established in 2001 and has assumed, through contracts, the exclusive rights to use the orbital position of Greece and Cyprus (39° East). In 2013 OTE sold its shares (99.05%) for €208 million to Arabsat Cyprus Ltd, a subsidiary of Arabsat. In its two privately owned satellite control stations - one in Greece and the other in Cyprus - it employs 65 scientifically qualified people. The CEO of the company for a number of years is Christodoulos Protopapas.[4]
