Based on the weather this morning, it does not bode well for the chances of the launch attempt from SLC-40 later this afternoon.😞

HISPASAT’s Amazonas Nexus Satellite will embed the Pathfinder 2 mission for the United States Space Force


Quote
HISPASAT, the Spanish telecommunications satellite operator, has won a contract with Artel to embed the U.S. Space Force’s Space and Missile Systems Center’s Pathfinder 2 mission on its Amazonas Nexus Satellite, which is expected to be launched in mid-2022. The project is led by Artel, the global secure communications network systems integrator certified by the US Department of Defense and supported by Hunter Communications, the satellite communication solutions provider.

For the record, Pathfinder 1 mission was SES AMC-3.

Quote
Pathfinder One was a success for the Air Force, and it’s clear that the military took notice of the program’s accomplishments. But the military may not have been the only organization to observe the lessons learned from Pathfinder One. Private industry recognized the innovative use of inclined orbit bandwidth as well.

Just a few weeks ago, Space News published an article disclosing that Global Eagle Entertainment, one of the world’s leaders in in-flight entertainment, “…had purchased all the capacity on an undisclosed satellite to support aeronautical customers, in particular Southwest Airlines, the company’s largest customer.”

That satellite was later revealed to be SES satellite AMC-3, which Space News says, “…carries 24 Ku-band transponders and launched in September 1997 on an Atlas 2A rocket.” SES will operate the satellite and provide support for Global Eagle.

In this article it was Global Eagle's mission that was revealed to be AMC-3. There is nothing in that article to say that Pathfinder 1 was AMC-3.

You're right. This other article states Pathfinder 1 was Eutelsat 16C at first, followed by NSS 7 (grey part).
