Intelsat 34 is a commercial communications satellite owned by the satellite operator Intelsat .
It was placed in geostationary orbit on August 20, 2015 at 20:34 UTC with an Ariane 5 ECA launcher from the Center Spatial Guyanais rocket launch site (together with Eutelsat 8 West B ) . Intelsat 34 is also intended to be the successor to Intelsat 805 and Galaxy 11 .
The three-axis stabilized satellite is equipped with 24 Ku-band and 24 C-band transponders and is intended to receive receivers in Latin America in the C-band, those in Brazil with digital TV broadcasts and mobile device users in the Ku-band from position / inclination 304.5 ° East to supply the North Atlantic. It was built on the basis of the SSL 1300 satellite bus from Space Systems / Loral and has a planned service life of 15 years. For attitude control, the satellite has several 22 Newton strong engines operated by MMH and MON-3, as well as electrical engines of the type SPT-100 and SPD-100 (СПД-100) from the Russian design office Fakel in Kaliningrad . The electric engines use the noble gas xenon as a supporting mass to be expelled. They have a thrust of 83 millinewtons each.
