Azərspace-1
Azercosmos launched its second telecommunications satellite, Azerspace-2, in 2018 into geostationary orbit at 45° East.
Azerspace-1 is equipped with 24 C-band transponders and 12 Ku-band transponders.
SatADSL will provide accessible and reliable internet access using the Central Asian beam of the Azerspace-1 satellite via its Cloud-based Service Delivery Platform (C-SDP).
Azercosmos operates the Azerspace-1 and Azerspace-2 satellites.

Azercosmos launched the Azerspace-1 satellite in 2013, joining nations with their own satellite systems.
Approximately 80% of Azerspace-2’s capacity is in use, with global satellite operators Intelsat and Eutelsat using the satellite.
Azerspace-2 was built by Maxar Technologies and has coverage of Europe, the Middle East, parts of Asia, and Sub-Saharan Africa.
Azerspace-2 launched on an Ariane 5 rocket in September 2018 and began commercial service in February.
Intelsat rebooked the Intelsat-38/Azerspace-2 satellite with another Intelsat-Ariane 5 mission that launched in September.
Intelsat-38/Azerspace-2 supersedes Intelsat 12 for Intelsat’s Ku-band services supporting television broadcasts in Central and Eastern Europe and the Asia-Pacific.
Azerspace-1 is partly used by Measat of Malaysia under the name Africasat-1a.
Intelsat-38/Azerspace-2 was originally due to launch in late May but was delayed when ISRO withdrew the GSAT-11 co-passenger for additional inspections.
The Ariane 5 launch on 2018-09-25 carried the Horizons-3e and Intelsat-38/Azerspace-2 satellites.
The Intelsat-38/Azerspace-2 satellite has a mass of 3,500 kg and was built by Space Systems Loral.
Intelsat-38/Azerspace-2 includes a steerable Ku-band beam that can be repositioned over a desired area in Africa within about 20 minutes.
Azercosmos’ half of Intelsat-38/Azerspace-2 is the company’s second telecom satellite, with Azerspace-1 being its first launched in 2013 on an Ariane 5.
Intelsat’s Ku-band portion of Intelsat-38/Azerspace-2 provides broadband connectivity for corporate networks and government services in Africa.
Luxembourg- and Washington-based Intelsat confirmed signal acquisition from both Horizons-3e and Intelsat-38/Azerspace-2 shortly after separation.
