2/7/2023
Amazonas Nexus has a projected mass of 4,500 kg, 20 kilowatts of onboard power, all-electric propulsion, and a design life of 15 years.
Amazonas Nexus is equipped with a state-of-the-art Digital Transparent Processor that will increase the satellite’s geographic flexibility in response to changes in commercial scenarios.
Amazonas Nexus is designed with Ku-band coverage over both American continents, Greenland, and North Atlantic transportation routes.
Hispasat selected Thales Alenia Space to build the Amazonas Nexus satellite to provide Ku-band coverage over North and South America, Greenland and the North Atlantic transportation routes.
The Amazonas Nexus satellite has a mass of 4,500 kg and will replace Amazonas-2 at 61 degrees west in geostationary orbit.
Amazonas Nexus will provide Ku-band telecommunication services and Ka-band capability to streamline gateway-to-satellite communications.

The Amazonas Nexus satellite separated from the Falcon 9 about 36 minutes after liftoff to begin its journey to geostationary orbit using onboard electric propulsion.
Amazonas Nexus is designed to provide high-throughput Ku-band capacity to Hispasat’s aviation, maritime, and rural broadband customers.
The Ku-band transponder Pathfinder 2 on Amazonas Nexus will provide contiguous coverage over the United States for the U.S. Space Force.
The Hispasat Amazonas Nexus mission launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station’s Space Launch Complex 40.
Amazonas Nexus is designed to primarily provide high-throughput Ku-band capacity to Hispasat’s aviation, maritime, and rural broadband customers.
Hispasat is planning to use Amazonas Nexus to expand its presence in sustainability projects after investing in Spain’s largest reforestation project.

Hispasat selected Gilat’s SkyEdge IV platform to operate with its Amazonas Nexus satellite.
HISPASAT reached agreements to complete the necessary infrastructure for the entry into service of Amazonas Nexus.
HISPASAT will operate Gilat’s SkyEdge IV platform to support its managed service over Amazonas Nexus.
The gateways for Amazonas Nexus will be able to provide uplink and housing services to customers leasing space capacity on the satellite to operate it with their own baseband equipment.
Hispasat focuses on commercial communications using geostationary satellites such as Amazonas Nexus.
The Export-Import Bank of the United States approved $80,700,000 in financing for a Falcon 9 launch of the Hispasat satellite Amazonas Nexus and for launch and initial in-orbit insurance.
