SpaceX launched Astra 1P for Luxembourg fleet operator SES on 2024-06-20 toward geostationary orbit.
SES requires the new satellites to continue broadcasting satellite TV channels in high picture quality effectively across Germany, France, and Spain.
The Falcon 9 launch window for the SES ASTRA 1P mission on 2024-06-20 opens at 5:35 p.m. ET and lasts two hours and 49 minutes.
The first stage booster supporting the SES ASTRA 1P mission is flying for the ninth time after previous launches including Ax-2, Euclid, Ax-3, CRS-30, and four Starlink missions.
SpaceX targeted Tuesday, 2024-06-18 for a Falcon 9 launch of the SES ASTRA 1P mission to geosynchronous transfer orbit from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The Falcon 9 for the SES ASTRA 1P mission will launch from Space Launch Complex 40 (SLC-40) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida.
The launch window for the SES ASTRA 1P mission is two hours and 49 minutes and opens at 5:35 p.m. ET.
The first stage booster for the SES ASTRA 1P mission previously launched Ax-2, Euclid, Ax-3, CRS-30, and four Starlink missions.
The SES ASTRA 1P mission will launch to geosynchronous transfer orbit.
The first-stage booster assigned to the mission previously launched SES-22, ispace’s HAKUTO-R MISSION 1, Amazonas-6, CRS-27, Bandwagon-1, and 10 Starlink missions.
NAVSYS test results have demonstrated the system’s capability to use satellites operated by Intelsat, Viasat, Eutelsat, SES, and Telesat to deliver backup PNT capability to GPS.
SES was one of six companies awarded Communications Services Project contracts in 2022, which together were worth a total of $279,000,000 to demonstrate commercial alternatives to NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System.
ThinKom’s antenna will connect via an SES terminal to provide multi-orbit SATCOM service using SES GEO satellites and the O3b classic and mPOWER MEO constellations.
SES Space & Defense validated a Ka-band terminal in tests that support a planned LEO flight demonstration early next year under a $29,000,000 Communications Services Project contract from NASA.
SES and its partner companies conducted a November demonstration that established a Telemetry, Tracking and Command relay link between a ground LEO flight-representative terminal and an SES geostationary satellite using C-band radiowaves.
The ThinKom and SES multi-orbit capability includes the option to operate in both GEO and MEO networks simultaneously.
In late 2023 SES Space & Defense demonstrated Telemetry, Tracking, and Commanding (TT&C) relay services through ground testing of a C-band always-on channel using Planet’s LEO flight-ready C-band terminal and SES’s C-band GEO global beams.
SES Space & Defense partnered with Planet Labs to demonstrate data relay services using SES’s O3b mPOWER satellite constellation in Medium Earth Orbit and Planet’s Low Earth Orbit flight-representative terminal.
SES successfully tested a stable relay communications link between one of its medium Earth orbit satellites and a low Earth orbit flight-representative terminal on the ground on 2024-06-05.
Intelsat agreed in April to be sold to SES, a competitor that operates satellites in geostationary and medium Earth orbit.
