With six satellites, SES's next-generation medium earth orbit system is set to deliver high-performance connectivity services globally, starting in early Q2 2024.
Astra 1 Sports, which operates across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa, has been used for more than 1,500 events.
The services will be split roughly evenly between the recently launched SES-17 high throughput satellite stationed over the Americas and the next-generation O3b mPOWER system.
The satellites are based on Boeings 702X space bus platform and are hardened against radiation.
