Airbus-Built EchoStar 105/SES-11 Satellite Now In Geostationary Orbit

Spacecraft Handed Over To The Customer

Airbus has transferred control of the satellite to SES: following its launch on October 11, the EchoStar 105/SES-11 satellite built by Airbus Defence and Space reached its geostationary orbit on October 19 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 11,500 pounds at launch and delivers spacecraft power of 12 kW.
