Abstract: A satellite comprises at least one first communication module, a repeater module, one or more antennas, at least one propulsion module and an avionics module, the repeater module comprising: a north first panel when the satellite is in an orbital position, an east second panel, a south third panel and a west fourth panel arranged respectively opposite the north first panel and the east second panel, the north panel and the south panel having widths XmcR in the east-west direction, the east panel and the west panel having a width or YmcR in the north-south direction; characterized in that: the value of the ratio XmcR/YmcR for the repeater module lies within the interval [0.84; 1.12], and the repeater module consists of a number of floors, and the value of Xmck varies as a function of the floor k and of its position in the repeater module.
