"Proton-M" orbited American communications satellite
EchoStar-16
American communications satellite "Echostar-16" (EchoStar-16), launched the evening of 20 November, the carrier rocket "Proton-M" from Baikonur, launched into orbit and transferred to the control of the customer, told RIA Novosti the Russian Space Agency.
"Separation of the spacecraft from the upper stage" Briz-M "was held at 7.43 MSK," - said the official.
Launch contract with a carrier rocket "Proton-M" entered the American satellite operator EchoStar and venture International Launch Services Inc. (ILS). Majority shareholder in ILS is FSUE "State Research and Production Space Center Khrunichev", developer and manufacturer of rocket "Proton" and booster "Briz-M".
EchoStar-16 - a new direct broadcast satellite, built by Space Systems / Loral for the American satellite operator EchoStar. The spacecraft will be installed in a geostationary orbit at distances 61.5 degrees west longitude, where it will join the fleet of satellites, EchoStar, serving for communication, business and entertainment around the world.
All power spacecraft EchoStar-16 will be leased by DISH Network for providing direct broadcast in the United States. Satellite EchoStar-16 is equipped with a payload of Ku-band transponders with aimed at the continental United States, part of the transponder can generate spot beams. The unit will strengthen the position as the leading provider EchoStar satellite and broadcast video.
Spacecraft EchoStar-16 with 32 active transponders is the eighth satellite EchoStar, created by Space Systems / Loral. Companion of 20 kW is developed on the basis of platform LS-1300 with high-quality, proven in flight systems, has shown high reliability.
The launch is EchoStar-16 was the tenth launch rocket "Proton" in 2012 and the start of the 382-m in its flight history. ILS to launch the seventh in 2012 and 76th launch rocket "Proton" since it began commercial operation in April 1996. "Proton" for the fifth time is used to remove the payload Corporation EchoStar. In addition, it is the 24th launch of the "Proton" with the spacecraft, manufactured on the basis of platform Space Systems / Loral.
