Telkom 3S is a commercial communications satellite owned by Telkom Indonesia . The satellite is a replacement for the Telkom 3 satellite , which was stranded in an unusable orbit in August 2012 after being launched with a Proton rocket.
It was placed in geostationary orbit on February 14, 2017 at 21:39 UTC with an Ariane 5 launcher from the Center Spatial Guyanais rocket launch site (together with SKY Brasil 1 ) . Almost 40 minutes after the start, the ECA upper level of the Ariane 5 first suspended SKY Brasil 1 and twelve minutes later Telkom 3S.
The three-axis stabilized satellite is equipped with 24 C-band , 8 extended C-band and 10 Ku-band transponders and is intended to provide telecommunications services, television and the Internet from Indonesia and Southeast Asia from a position of 118 ° East.
