The platform has a total satellite power capability ranging from 5 to 25 kW continuously throughout the life of the spacecraft, and can support from as few as 12 active transponders to as many as 150 transponders.<\/p>\nSpace Systems\/Loral (SSL) have announced they will build what will be the world\u2019s highest capacity broadband satellite. The new Ka-band satellite \u2013 called JUPITER 2\/EchoStar XIX \u2013 will help meet demand for HughesNet Gen4 high-speed satellite internet service in North America.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nJUPITER 2\/EchoStar XIX:<\/p>\n
JUPITER 2\/EchoStar XIX is a large, multi-spot beam Ka-band satellite based on the highly reliable SSL 1300 space-proven platform, which provides the flexibility to support a broad range of applications and technology advances.<\/p>\n
The 1300 series platform was first introduced in the mid-1980s and has been in constant evolutionary development to deliver increasingly higher power, greater flexibility and longer mission life.<\/p>\n
The platform has a total satellite power capability ranging from 5 to 25 kW continuously throughout the life of the spacecraft, and can support from as few as 12 active transponders to as many as 150 transponders.<\/p>\n
SSL\u2019s 1300 features a lightweight and high-strength structure, fuel-efficient attitude and stationkeeping subsystems, high-efficiency and reliable solar arrays and batteries, and advanced command and control subsystems.<\/p>\n
The company manufactures the 1300 in Palo Alto, California. Integration of components into payload and bus subsystems, as well as satellite system-level testing, are all performed in this location.<\/p>\n

It will provide service in Canada and South America and has an X-band payload for government communications over the Americas and the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n When launched, Anik G1 will be positioned at 107.3 degrees West longitude where it will be co-located with Telesat\u2019s Anik F1 satellite, effectively doubling both the C-band and Ku-band transponders serving South America from the 107.3 degrees West orbital location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Space Systems\/Loral (SSL) have announced they will build what will be the world\u2019s highest capacity broadband satellite.
