Airbus-built EchoStar 105/SES-11 satellite now in geostationary orbit and handed-over to customer

The dual-mission communications satellite is the 47th Eurostar E3000, and will provide Ku and C-Band capacity to Echostar and SES, respectively

Toulouse, 02/11/2017 – Airbus has transferred control of the satellite to SES: following its launch on 11 October, the EchoStar 105/SES-11 satellite built by Airbus Defence and Space reached its geostationary orbit on 19 October and has been fully deployed and tested. SES is now testing the payload, before the satellite enters service for the two operators at the 105 degrees West orbital slot.

EchoStar 105/SES-11 is a dual-mission satellite, providing Luxembourg-based operator SES with a C-band payload of 24 transponders of 36 MHz, owned and operated by SES, marketed under the name SES-11, and US operator EchoStar with 24 Ku-band transponders of 36 MHz, marketed as EchoStar 105.

EchoStar 105/SES-11 is the 47th satellite based on Airbus' highly reliable Eurostar E3000 platform. It weighted 5,200 kg at launch and delivers spacecraft power of 12 kW.

EchoStar 105/SES-11 Now Operational at 105 degrees West
Written on 29 Nov 2017

Luxembourg / Englewood, 29 November 2017 – The EchoStar 105/SES-11 satellite has been successfully positioned at the 105 degrees West orbital location and is now fully operational and able to serve the video and enterprise markets in the US.

The dual-mission satellite, providing SES with a C-band payload of 24 transponders of 36 MHz, marketed under the name SES-11, and providing EchoStar with 24 Ku-band transponders of 36 MHz, marketed as EchoStar 105, was launched into space on 11 October 2017 at 6:53 PM EDT. Since then, extensive in-orbit tests have confirmed the flawless functioning of the spacecraft.

This is the second time SES has launched on a flight-proven Falcon 9 rocket, and is SES's fourth launch with SpaceX. The high-powered communications satellite built by Airbus replaces C-band capacity for AMC-18 and Ku-band capacity for AMC-15 at the 105 degrees West orbital slot.

SES-11 is designed to accelerate the development of the US Prime video neighbourhood and the delivery of high definition (HD) and ultra-high definition (UHD) channels. It offers comprehensive coverage over North America, including Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean. The satellite's C-band capacity is optimised for digital television delivery, and will join SES-1 and SES-3 at the centre of SES's North American orbital arc which reaches more than 100 million TV homes and has 100% penetration in the US.

SES-11 will be utilised for the expansion of SES's North America Ultra HD platform, which hosts the world's largest Ultra HD bouquet of 10 Ultra HD channels and reaches a combined audience of more than 10 million subscribers.

SES-11 will also allow business and government customers to capture new opportunities and expand their reach across the region.

Martin Halliwell, Chief Technology Officer at SES, said, "Thanks to the hard work put in by the Airbus, SpaceX and SES teams, SES-11 is now ready to provide a premium C-band service to the leading cable operators across the US and deliver high-quality TV content to more than 100 million TV homes in the US."
