The SpainSat NG I & II satellites replace the current SpainSat and XTAR-EUR satellites, providing advances in communications.
Xtar has a memorandum of understanding with Hisdesat to use capacity on the SpainSat NG satellites that Airbus is building.
The orbital slot for Xtar-Eur is at 29 degrees east and uses a slot provided by the Spanish government.
Loral disclosed in 2016 that it had no commitment to provide further financial support to XTAR.
Xtar will continue to provide service using the 15-year-old Xtar-Eur and a payload it leases on Hisdesat’s 14-year-old SpainSat until both are superseded by the 1,600,000,000 EUR SpainSat NG system.
Xtar owns the Xtar-Eur satellite that was launched in 2005.
Xtar leases a payload on Hisdesat’s SpainSat satellite that was launched in 2006.
Xtar is deciding with partner Hisdesat how to keep the SpainSat and Xtar-Eur satellites flying after their replacements launch in 2023.
Hisdesat ordered two SpainSat next-generation satellites from Airbus Defence and Space to replace Xtar-Eur and SpainSat in 2023.
Spainsat NG 1 and Spainsat NG 2 will succeed the Spainsat and Xtar-Eur satellites, both of which launched more than 10 years ago.
