Satellite Use:                       
ASTRA 2G is the third spacecraft of a three satellite investment program (ASTRA 2E, 2F, and 2G) that SES contracted with Airbus Defence and Space in order to provide replacement as well as incremental satellite capacity in the orbital arc of 28.2/28.5 degrees East. ASTRA 2G carries 62 Ku-band transponders as well as 4 Ka-band transponders. The different beams provide wide coverage over the UK and Ireland, Europe and West Africa.

The ASTRA 2G satellite will also support SATMED, an e-health platform conceived by SES and supported by the Luxembourg Government and the Ministry for Cooperation and Humanitarian Action is a satellite based communication solution aimed to improve public health in emerging and developing countries.

 

Satellite Statistics:

__62 Ku-band transponders

__4 Ka-band transponders, including 1 interconnect

__Planned orbital location: 28.2/28.5 degrees East longitude
__Anticipated service life: 15 years

Mission Profile:

The Proton M launch vehicle, utilizing a 5-burn Breeze M mission design, will lift off from

Pad 39 at Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, with the ASTRA 2G satellite on board.

The first three stages of the Proton will use a standard ascent profile to place the orbital

unit (Breeze M Upper Stage and the ASTRA 2G satellite) into a sub-orbital trajectory.

From this point in the mission, the Breeze M will perform planned mission maneuvers to

advance the orbital unit first to a circular parking orbit, then to an intermediate orbit.

followed by a transfer orbit, and finally to a geosynchronous  transfer orbit. Separation

of the ASTRA 2G satellite is scheduled to occur approximately 9 hours, 12 minutes after

liftoff.

Target Orbit at Separation:

Perigee: 4,163 km

Apogee: 35,736 km

Inclination: 23.0 degrees

 

Spacecraft Separation:       

Approximately 9 hours, 12 minutes after liftoff
