The two ROSA wings provide Ovzon 3 and its electric propulsion with a combined 10 kilowatts of power during the satellite’s several-month transfer to its final orbital position.
Ovzon 3 is scheduled to reach its orbital slot at 59.7 degrees East and is due to enter service in the middle of 2024 if it passes in-orbit health checks.
Ovzon ordered Ovzon 3 from prime contractor Maxar Technologies in 2018.
Maxar Space Systems designed and manufactured the Ovzon 3 satellite for Ovzon.
The Ovzon 3 satellite launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on 2024-01-03.
Maxar Space Systems manufactured the Ovzon 3 satellite for Ovzon at its Palo Alto, California facility using its Modular Architecture Platform.
Maxar Space Systems partnered with Ovzon on the design and manufacture of Ovzon 3 to support Ovzon’s long-term business goals.
The Falcon 9 first-stage booster used on the Ovzon 3 launch completed its 10th flight on the mission.
Ovzon plans to begin Ovzon 3 mobile connectivity services by the middle of 2024 if in-orbit health checks are successful.
Ovzon obtained two extensions from international regulators to delay the date it must begin providing services from Ovzon 3 or risk losing priority spectrum rights.
Maxar Space Systems designed and manufactured Ovzon 3 for Ovzon, a Swedish-based SATCOM-as-a-Service provider.
Ovzon 3 is the first commercial geostationary spacecraft to be deployed by a privately funded Swedish company.
