Payload configuration capability to match evolutive missions over the operational lifetime of communication and broadcasting satellites is addressed. The operational requirements for which payload reconfiguration is necessary, the different technical solutions for obtaining such reconfigurable payloads and the critical hardware to be developed and space qualified prior to being carried on board the spacecraft are presented. Reconfigurable payloads are concluced to be a promising alternative to conventional ones. They correspond to a cost effective solution through optimized missions and extended lifetime capability.
