THALES ALENIA SPACE AND TELKOM INDONESIA TO BUILD HTS 113BT TELECOMMUNICATION SATELLITE TO PROVIDE MORE CAPACITY OVER INDONESIA28 OCT 2021Thales Alenia Space announced that it has signed a contract with the leading satellite service provider in Indonesia, PT Telkom Satelit Indonesia (Telkomsat) as subsidiary of PT Telkom Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (Telkom) a state-owned digital telecommunication company in Indonesia, to build HTS 113BT, a new High Throughput Satellite telecommunications satellite in C-band/Ku-Band from its orbital position at 113° East.Thales Alenia Space is the program prime contractor and responsible for the design, construction, testing and on-ground delivery of the satellite. It is also in charge of the early orbital positioning phase (LEOP) and in-orbit tests (IOT). In addition, Thales Alenia Space will supply the Ground control segment and will train and support the Customer team of engineers on site. The in-orbit support will also be provided all along the satellite lifetime.Built on Thales Alenia Space's historical Spacebus 4000B2 platform, HTS 113BT will provide more than 32 Gbps capacity over Indonesia. The satellite will weigh about 4 metric tons at launch and will be delivered early 2024 for a 15-year expected lifetime.[...]
HTS-113BTLaunch TimeNET June, 2024
Indonesian #telecommunications satellite Telkomsat HTS 113BT left the port of Nice on January 9 and is heading to Florida's Port Canaveral by sea. Check-out these stunning images of the #satellite being loaded inside its container in our clean rooms of Cannes end of last year.
As previously reported, Telkom stated its readiness to launch the satellite again in mid-February 2024.
LC-39A will be occupied by IM-1 launch campaign, so launch will very likely be from SLC-40.

Cargo vessel MN Colibri is due to arrive at Port Canaveral tomorrow evening carrying the HTS-113BT satellite for launch atop a Falcon 9 as soon as February..
MN Colibri arrived at Port Canaveral just before dawn this morning to deliver the HTS-113BT satellite.Launching atop a Falcon 9 NET February!http://nsf.live/spacecoast
MN Colibri docked at NCB-1A at Port Canaveral discharging the HTS-113BT satellite that will launch onboard a Falcon 9 next month. This vessel is one of the only few vessels that use the Ro-ro ramp at NCB-1A at the port currently. #portcanaveral #space
🛰️ SATELLITE ARRIVES AT PORT CANAVERAL 🚀 Special arrival for a satellite built by Thales Alenia Space. The satellite was carefully offloaded from the Ro-Ro cargo vessel MN Colibri and trucked to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, scheduled to launch in the coming weeks. The satellite, “Telkomsat HTS 113BT” was built for PT Telkom Satelit Indonesia (Telkomsat), one of the leading satellite service providers in Indonesia and will be used to enhance communications across Indonesia. 🌐 #SatelliteLaunch #SpaceTech @Thales_Alenia_S . .
Intelsat License LLC (“Intelsat”) herein requests 30 days of Special Temporary Authority (“STA”),1 commencing February 20, 2024, to use its Hagerstown, Maryland C-band earth station to provide launch and early orbit phase (“LEOP”) services for the HTS-113BT satellite.2 HTS-113BT is expected to launch no earlier than February 20, 2024.3 Intelsat expects the LEOP period to last approximately 14 days.

Falcon is the most reliable and prolific launch system in the world today. Many thanks to the incredible team @SpaceX and our partners, customers and suppliers for helping make it happen!
E N E R G YFalcon 9 launches Merah Putih 2 from SLC-40. While the alignment wasn’t perfect, it’s still sweet to see how this composition came out - the vapor falling backlit from the booster, full flame detail from the 9 Merlin 1D’s, and the light refraction in the energy waves emitted from the exhaust. 📸 - @NASASpaceflight 📺 - https://youtube.com/live/XzYonTLnRY0?si=54dFPj6eSQQgVmjQ
