702MP satellite Boeing has been selected to build four 702MP satellites for Intelsat Ltd. The contract marks the first order for the Boeing 702MP satellite, pictured here, which continues the technical and flight heritage of the Boeing 702HP family and enables Boeing to expand its product offerings to include flexible, modular satellites that operate in the 6- to 12-kilowatt power range. These satellites will distribute video, network and voice services from Asia and Africa to the Americas and Europe. Courtesy of Boeing image

El Segundo, Calif., USA - October 11, 2012

Intelsat S.A. has accepted its second Boeing (NYSE: BA) 702MP (Medium Power) satellite, Intelsat 21, which was launched Aug. 18 and is enhancing Intelsat's broadcast and communications services throughout four continents.

Boeing introduced the 702MP spacecraft line in 2009 to meet customer requirements for satellites with 6 to 12 kilowatts of power.

Intelsat IS-22 702MP satellite IS-22 is one of four 702MP satellites ordered from Boeing by Intelsat Ltd. IS-22 will carry a UHF payload that will provide service to the Australian Defence Force. Launch of IS-22 is planned for 2012. The launch vehicle will be announced by Intelsat at a later date. Courtesy of Boeing image

The 702MP provides the high capability of the flight-proven Boeing 702HP (High Power) model, but with a modified bus structure and a simplified propulsion system.

"Intelsat 21 has entered service and is enabling Intelsat to expand its global mobility network for maritime and aeronautical customers," said Craig Cooning, CEO of Boeing Satellite Systems International and vice president of Boeing Space & Intelligence Systems.
"This 702MP is the second Boeing-built satellite to be accepted by Intelsat in just four months' time."

The Inmarsat-5 satellites will operate in geosynchronous orbit with flexible global coverage and will be compatible with the Ariane, Sea Launch, Proton and Atlas launch vehicles. Launch services and dates will be announced by Inmarsat. Courtesy of Boeing image

Replacing Intelsat 9, Intelsat 21 features mobility services spanning the Atlantic Ocean to Europe, Africa and South America.

Designed to provide more than 15 years of service, Intelsat 21 also hosts a leading C-band video distribution neighborhood for Latin America with connectivity from Europe and North America.

Its Ku-band service will serve direct-to-home programmers in Mexico and corporate network customers in Brazil.

Intelsat’s global broadband mobility platform is set for completion in early 2013.

Intelsat is the leading provider of satellite services worldwide.

Intelsat’s satellite, teleport and fiber infrastructure is unmatched in the industry, setting the standard for transmissions of video, data and voice services.

From the globalization of content and the proliferation of HD, to the expansion of cellular networks and broadband access, with Intelsat, advanced communications anywhere in the world are closer, by far.

Boeing Receives Authorization for Additional Tracking and Data Relay Satellite. Boeing has received a $289 million contract modification from NASA, exercising an option to add Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) M to the existing TDRS fleet. The company previously built the three satellites in the TDRS H, I, and J series (shown here) for NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Boeing continues in its role supporting NASA’s key programs over a period that spans more than four decades. Courtesy of Boeing image
