JCSAT-14 is a commercial communications satellite from the Japanese company SKY Perfect JSAT .
It was placed in geostationary orbit on May 6, 2016 at 5:21 UTC by a Falcon 9 v1.2 launcher from the Cape Canaveral rocket launch site and is intended to replace JCSAT-2A . The separation of the first stage took place 2 minutes and 40 seconds after the start, shortly afterwards the second stage ignited for about 7 minutes and brought the combination of the upper stage and satellite into a parking orbit. A second burning phase of the upper stage took place 26.5 minutes after the start, which brought JCSAT-14 to a slightly super-synchronous geostationary transfer orbit with an apogee of at least 36,000 km. After the separation, the first stage landed successfully on the ASDS lake platform .
The three-axis stabilized satellite is equipped with 18 Ku-band and 26 C-band transponders and is supposed to provide telecommunication services from the position 154 ° East from Asia, Russia, Oceania and the Pacific islands. The Ku-Band system is designed to provide high-speed connections for sea, air and earth exploration applications to customers in Asia, Russia, Oceania and the Pacific Islands. Special Ku-Band spot beams are supposed to provide a high communication bandwidth for Japan and the Asia-Pacific region. The C-band payload is designed to deliver television broadcasts, mobile communications and data services from Russia to Hawaii. JCSAT-14 was built on the basis of the satellite bus SSL-1300 from Space Systems / Loral (SSL) and has a planned service life of 15 years. The satellite was ordered from SSL in 2012 and SpaceX was commissioned to launch the satellite in January 2014.
