AMC-21 to Launch August 14
An Ariane 5 rocket is scheduled to lift the SES Americom AMC-21 communications satellite into orbit from the European Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. Orbital is supplying its STAR-2 spacecraft bus under a contract with Thales Alenia Space.
Operating from the 125 degree West Longitude orbital location, AMC-21 will supplement SES Americom’s fleet of 16 satellites over the United States, Asia and Europe. The satellite will carry 24 high-powered Ku-band channels, and provide fixed communications and television distribution services over the continental U.S., Alaska, and Hawaii, and the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean and Central American regions. The STAR-2 platform will deliver 4.4 kilowatts of payload power and support a 15-year on-orbit mission life. AMC-21 will be launched together with Superbird 7, a new Japanese telecommunications satellite.
