ELECTRIC PROPULSION
What is it?
A way to accelerate satellites in the space byusing electric means, and can be used for:
Orbit raising
Stationkeeping
3
Stationkeeping
Change of orbital slot
Satellite de-orbit
Electric orbit raising allows placing more dry mass into space, additional payload can be hosted and longer life can be achieved.

E115WB COMING SOON (ALL-ELECTRIC)
Expected to be launched Q1 2015
< 6 months orbit raising
4
Up to 7.5kW payload power
E117WB HOSTING ADDITIONAL PAYLOAD
Expected to be launched Q4 2015
Will host a payload for the US FAA Wide-Area Augmentation System
5
Augmentation System (WAAS), to enhance aviation safety.
SATELLITE SERVICE DEMAND IN THE REGIONINCREASING C BAND DEMAND, ADVANTAGES
Video distribution services
Growth supported by an active regional market
Strong SD / HD penetration
