Maxar Space Systems manufactured the spacecraft, which is also called EchoStar XXIV, in their Northern California facility. It was launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJUPITER 3 demonstrates that the Maxar 1300 platform is the ideal platform to support any variety of high-bandwidth communications missions, including deep space missions like NASA\u2019s PPE program, which is part of Gateway,\u201d said <strong>Chris Johnson, Maxar Space Systems CEO<\/strong>. \u201cMaxar continues to serve the GEO communications market and push the boundaries for what is possible, and JUPITER 3 shows that thinking in action.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>JUPITER 3 is an ultra-high-density satellite that will join the Hughes JUPITER fleet, which includes two other Maxar-built spacecraft. This newest spacecraft takes a significant leap forward in satellite engineering, showcasing cutting-edge advancements in communication satellite design and functionality. The incorporation of industry-leading Q- and V-band gateway feeder links, along with miniaturized, solid-state electronics, highlights the pioneering spirit of Maxar Space Systems in pushing the boundaries of what is achievable in space technology. The sheer scale of JUPITER 3, with its 9 metric ton launch mass and 14 expansive solar panels, underscores the magnitude of this spacecraft, dwarfing conventional satellite dimensions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable\" contenteditable=\"false\" draggable=\"true\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IlLXFyE9cns?&amp;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"fr-draggable\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maxar Space Systems announced that it had successfully handed over operations of the largest commercial communications satellite ever manufactured in their Palo Alto, California facility, the JUPITER 3 satellite, for EchoStar.&nbsp; The satellite includes 14 solar panels on board that when fully deployed could span a 10-story building.
