The satellite was deployed 34 minutes into the mission.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Koreasat-6A will replace the current Koreasat-6 satellite positioned at 116 degrees East in Geostationary Orbit (GEO). Koreasat-6 launched in 2010. The new satellite has six broadcast transponders and 20 fixed satellite service (FSS) transponders, to cover South Korea with broadcast and FSS service.<\/p>\n<p>Thales Alenia Space built the satellite based on the Spacebus 4000B2 platform under a deal announced in 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>KT SAT is a subsidiary of Korean telecommunications company KT Group. With this launch, KT SAT will have five satellites in GEO. The company provides satellite services over Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Beyond GEO, KT SAT is pursuing a strategy to be a multi-orbit satellite provider through partnerships with Non-Geostationary (NGSO) constellations. The company is an investor in Mangata Networks and has an MoU with Rivada Space Networks as well. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Falcon 9 launches the Koreasat-6A mission to orbit from Florida on Nov. 11.
