SES-15
http://www.boeing.com/resources/boeingdotcom/space/boeing_satellite_family/pdf/Bkgd_SES-15.pdf

Description and Purpose: In 2015, SES ordered a Boeing 702SP (small platform) all-electric propulsion satellite for its new orbital location to serve North America, Latin America and the Caribbean. The satellite will enable SES to serve its leading aeronautical customers in providing in-flight internet connectivity for aircraft and serve other traffic-intensive data applications such as government, VSAT networks and maritime.

General Characteristics: Scheduled for delivery in 2017, SES-15 is designed to generate up to 8 kilowatts of payload power during its 15-year design life. SES-15 will carry a hybrid payload, with additional Ku-band wide beams and Ku-as well as Ka-band High Throughput Satellite (HTS) capability. The Boeing all-electric 702SP carries the xenon ion propulsion system (XIPS) for both orbit-raising and on-orbit maneuvering. In addition, SES-15 will also carry a Wide-Area Augmentation System (WAAS) hosted payload for the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to enhance aviation safety.

SES-15 Arrives at Kourou for Launch Onboard Soyuz
Written on 15 Mar 2017
 
 

First SES hybrid satellite with high throughput capability to serve leading inflight connectivity and entertainment providers; also carries WAAS payload to augment the GPS

LUXEMBOURG, 15 March 2017 -- SES (Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) announced today that the SES-15 satellite has arrived at the European space Center in Kourou, French Guiana, in preparation for its launch by a Soyuz vehicle in April 2017.

Designed and manufactured by Boeing, SES-15 will carry a hybrid payload, with additional Ku-band wide beams and Ku- as well as Ka-band High Throughput Satellite (HTS) capability. The satellite will be equipped with an electric propulsion system for orbit-raising and in-orbit maneuvers. The satellite will also carry the Wide Area Augmentation Systems (WAAS), a US government-funded hosted payload to augment the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

SES-15 is the first SES hybrid satellite to be launched and is equipped with 16 Ku-band transponders (36MHz equivalent) as well as a 10 GHz high throughput payload. The all-electric satellite will operate at the new orbital position of 129 degrees West and will serve North America, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

SES-15 is the first of three hybrid wide beam and HTS satellites, delivering optimized and flexible global coverage for major global IFC/IFE providers who have made significant, long-term pre-commitments. The satellite will also enable other traffic intensive data applications such as government, VSAT networks and maritime.

SES 15 Soyuz Launch
 April 4 @ 10:47 AM CDT
Free

An Arianespace Soyuz rocket, designated VS17, will launch on a mission from the Guiana Space Center in South America. The Soyuz will carry the SES 15 communications satellite for SES of Luxembourg. Built by Boeing with an all-electric propulsion system, SES 15 will provide in-flight Internet connectivity for airline passengers, and support government, networking and maritime customers across North America. SES 15 also hosts a payload for the FAA's Wide-Area Augmentation System to enhance airline navigation and safety. The Soyuz 2-1b (Soyuz ST-B) rocket will use a Fregat-MT upper stage.

Launch time: 10:47:52 a.m. EDT (1447:52 GMT)

 SES' hybrid SES-15 satellite arrives for Arianespace's next Soyuz mission

Спойлер

The protective container with SES-15 is unloaded at Félix Eboué Airport near the French Guiana capital city of Cayenne. This Boeing-built spacecraft was flown in aboard an AN-124 cargo jetliner, then transferred by road to the Spaceport.

French Guiana has welcomed another payload for Arianespace's fast-paced mission schedule in 2017 with yesterday's arrival of SES-15 – the first hybrid satellite for SES, which will be launched in April by a medium-lift Soyuz.                           
                           
SES-15 was delivered by a cargo jetliner that landed at Félix Eboué Airport near Cayenne. After unloading in its protective shipping container, the satellite was readied for transfer by road to the Spaceport.

Designed and manufactured by Boeing, SES-15 is equipped with an electric propulsion system for orbit-raising and in-orbit maneuvers.  Its relay payload has been configured with Ku-band wide beams, along with Ku- and Ka-band High Throughput Satellite (HTS) capability.  The satellite also carries a Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) hosted payload to further enhance civil aviation navigation with the Global Positioning System (GPS).

 

A new Soyuz mission to geostationary transfer orbit

After its deployment into geostationary transfer orbit by Soyuz on Arianespace Flight VS17, SES-15 will operate at the new SES orbital position of 129 deg. West for coverage of North America, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean.

Flight VS17 will be the 17th mission performed from French Guiana with Soyuz since the medium-lift launcher's operational debut in 2011 at the Spaceport. It marks the second Soyuz mission for Arianespace in 2017, following Flight VS16 in January – which was the launch vehicle's initial trajectory to geostationary transfer orbit from the Spaceport, delivering the Hispasat 36W-1 telecommunications satellite.

SES-15 is due to launch next month, and features a mix of wide beams and #HTS capacity. Stay tuned as we get closer to the countdown.

Due to evolution of the situation, Flight #VA236 is deferred. Launcher & payloads are in fully safe conditions.

Из-за забастовки во Фр. Гвиане отдожен пуск РН Ariane 5 ECA с двумя КА на борту (миссия VA236). Это вызовет сдвиг запуска миссии VS17 минимум на 12 дней

DutchSpace‏ @DutchSpace 3 ч. назад

Apart from the #VA236 launch slipping, it might also impact #Soyuz #VS17 planned for 04/04 as range re-config takes around 12/14 days

Update on #Kourou : Local people are telling me no roll-out before Monday,would mean earliest possible launch on the 28th #VA236

[tnt22]

DutchSpace‏ @DutchSpace 4 ч. назад

Current state of play(TBC): #VA236 NET 28th #VS17 NET probably 11/04 launcher at CSG #VA237 impact unknown but #Ariane5 EPC already at #CSG
