SES-1 is a commercial communications satellite operated by the Dutch satellite operator SES World Skies .
It was launched into space on April 24, 2010 at 5:19 p.m. local time (1:19 p.m. CET) with a Proton - Bris-M - launcher from the Baikonur rocket launch site . Eight hours and 58 minutes after launch, the satellite was separated from the upper stage of the Proton / Bris M. SES-1 is the 42nd satellite in SES’s global fleet, but the first to bear its name (initially called AMC 4R, then known as AMC 1R or AMC 5RR). In 2011, two identical satellites will follow: SES-2 and SES-3 .
The three-axis stabilized satellite is active with 24 C-band - and 24 Ku-band - transponders equipped. Six of the channels in each band can be crossed to the opposite band (cross-strapping). It has a useful output of approx. 5 kW and is equipped with two retractable reflectors each 2.3 meters in diameter. It will provide television and Internet access from North America from 101 ° West and will replace the satellites AMC-2 and AMC-4 that are in operation there . It was based on the STAR 2.4e - satellite bus of Orbital Sciences Corporation built by International Launch Services launched (ILS) and has a design life of more than 15 years.
