SES-6 is a multipurpose satellite built by Astrium and will be replacing NSS-806 at 319.5° east to provide significant capacity expansion over North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, and Atlantic Ocean region. The satellite’s expanded Ku-band payload will support DTH platforms, VSAT services and government digital inclusion programs throughout Latin America. The C-band payload will add incremental capacity to support channel growth at this key cable neighborhood.

Satellite Statistics:          
__43 C-band 36 MHz equivalent transponders
__48 Ku-band 36 MHz equivalent transponders
__Planned orbital location: 319.5° 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 SES-6 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 SES-6 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 super-synchronous transfer orbit. Separation of the SES-6 satellite is scheduled to occur approximately 15 hours, 31 minutes after liftoff.

A Russian Proton-M launch vehicle carrying a SES-6 telecommunications satellite has lifted off from the Baikonur space center in Kazakhstan, the Khrunichev space company said on Monday.
“The launch took place at the scheduled time - 01.18 pm Moscow time [09:18 GMT],” a Khrunichev spokesman told RIA Novosti.
“The separation of the SES-6 satellite from the Briz-M booster is expected in 15.5 hours, at 04.49 Moscow time [00:49 GMT] on Tuesday,” he said.
The SES-6, built by Astrium for global satellite operator SES World Skies on Eurostar 3000 platform, is equipped with 43 C-band and 48 Ku-band transponders and has a service life of 15 years.
The 6,100 kg satellite will enable the delivery of next generation broadcast services, including HD video distribution and mobile services, to customers in North America, Latin America, Europe and the Atlantic Ocean, the SES said on its website.
SES-6 will be the 53rd satellite in SES' global fleet.
Russia has previously orbited several satellites for SES, the most recent being SES-5 in July 2012.
