Data relating to Flight 207 The satellite EchoStar XVII is built by SPACE SYSTEMS/LORAL. It is based on the LS 1300E BUS satellite platform, which, all satellites taken together, represents a total of more than 1900 years in orbit. The launch of EchoStar XVII using JUPITER broadband technology will provide subscribers with a rate of more than 100 gigabits per second. Its multi-beam architecture will enhance and reinforce coverage and will target areas of North America where demand is greatest. It will thus supplement SPACEWAY 3, launched by Ariane 5 on 14 August 2007, and which provides uniform coverage of the USA. EchoStar XVII will provide high-speed internet access to nearly 2 million extra subscribers, offering them unique media access. The main characteristics of the satellite are recalled in the following table: * Dimensions • 8.00 x 3.20 x 3.10 m • In-orbit span 26.07 m * Mass • Lift-off 6,100 kg * Power * Propulsion * Stabilisation * Transmission capacity • Payload power: between 17.7 and 16.1 kW • 3 Li-Ion batteries • Biliquid propellant tanks (MMH & NTO) • •455N-apogee engine and 22N-nozzles for in-orbit control • Slow transverse spin-up at separation • Triple-axis stabilisation in orbit • 60 Ka-band beams • 4 antennas and 2 ‘Horns’ * Orbit Position • 107.1° West * Coverage USA ECHOSTAR XVII coverage zones © HUGHES Expected lifetime exceeds 15 years 19
