\u2018This is our second JSAT mission and our second consecutive launch of a Lockheed Martin satellite,\u2019 said  Rob Peckham, interim president and general manager of Sea Launch, congratulated JSAT and Lockheed Martin. <\/p>\n

\u2018We\u2019re delighted to have achieved another successful launch on behalf of both companies, and we look forward to future opportunities to contribute to your success. <\/p>\n

Built by Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems (LMCSS), the 4401 kg JCSat-9 spacecraft is a A2100-AX spacecraft, designed for a minimum service life of 12 years. It will be located at 132 degrees East Longitude. The high-power hybrid spacecraft carries C-band, Ku-band and S-band transponders.<\/p>\n

Launch processing started in late January, when LMCSS delivered the JCSat-9 satellite from their spacecraft assembly facility in Sunnyvale, California, to the near-by Sea Launch Home Port in Long Beach.<\/font>\"\"<\/font><\/p>\n

Following operations in the Payload Processing Facility \u2013 where the spacecraft is tested, fuelled and encapsulated in a payload fairing \u2013 the Payload Unit was transferred to the assembly hall of the Sea Launch Commander, where it was mated with the Block DM upper stage of the Zenit-3SL rocket. <\/font><\/p>\n

The \u2018Odyssey\u2019 Launch Platform and the \u2018Sea Launch Commander\u2019 have departed Home Port, en-route for the launch site in international waters of the Pacific Ocean, at 154 degrees West Longitude, south of Hawaii. \"\"<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This will be Sea Launch\u2019s second mission of the year \u2013 following their successful launch of the EchoStar X spacecraft in February. <\/font><\/p>\n

The Lockheed Martin A2100-AX satellite has begun a 15 year mission of providing the DISH Network with the ability to deliver expanded services for distribution of direct-to-home broadcast services to its customers in the United States.
