It is then brought into its final geostationary position by driving the apogee motor in five phases . There NigComSat from Nigeria will test the satellite in space on behalf of the Chinese China Great Wall Industry Corporation . With this as the main contractor for the satellite, the construction contract was concluded in September 2011.
The three-axis stabilized satellite is equipped with 14 Ku-band -, 4 Ka-band - and 20 C-band - transponders and from the position 51.5 ° East is supposed to be mainly Belarus, but also Asia and Africa with radio and television programs as well Supply Internet.
