SES-6 is a commercial communications satellite owned by the Dutch SES World Skies .
It was on June 3, 2013 at 09:18 UTC with a Proton-M / Briz-M - carrier rocket from the rocket launch site Baikonur in Kazakhstan into a geostationary brought orbit and to NSS-806 to replace. The launch vehicle brought the satellite into an unusual, so-called super-synchronous geostationary transfer orbit, which enables changes in inclination to be particularly fuel-efficient. The perigee when the satellite separated was 4,480 kilometers, the apogee was 65,000 kilometers and the orbit inclination to the equator was 26.7 °.
The three-axis stabilized satellite is equipped with 48 Ku-band - and 43 C-band - transponders and is to be provided from the position 40.5 ° West from North and Latin America, Europe and the Atlantic region with broadcasting services of the next generation including HD video transmission and mobile communication services supply. It was based on the satellite bus euro E3000 by Astrium built and has a design life of 15 years. The contract to build the satellite was signed on May 18, 2010.
