About Intelsat New Dawn
Created through a joint venture with a South African investor group lead by Convergence Partners, Intelsat’s New Dawn satellite will be ideally positioned to serve the African continent, and will deliver wireless backhaul services, broadband and television programming.
The Intelsat New Dawn spacecraft will be based on Orbital’s STAR-2 platform. It will generate approximately 4.8 kilowatts of electrical power to support the hybrid C- and Ku-band payload covering Africa with two deployable antennas. Following the launch and completion of its in-orbit testing process, New Dawn will be located at 33 degrees East Longitude.
