SES ORDERS FOUR NEW SATELLITES FROM ASTRIUM
November 30, 2009
Luxembourg and Paris, 30 November 2009 – Global satellite operator SES S.A.(Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) and Astrium, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EADS (Euronext Paris: EAD), announced today that SES has ordered four multi-mission satellites from Astrium to provide replacement as well as incremental capacity for its SES ASTRA and SES WORLD SKIES divisions.
Multi-satellite investment of over 500M euro designed to meet needs of largest European DTH broadcasters and to fuel growth in Eastern Europe, Africa and Middle East
The new satellites, to be designated ASTRA 2E, ASTRA 2F, ASTRA 2G and ASTRA 5B, will allow the release of the existing satellites at two orbital positions (28.2 and 31.5 degrees East) and add new capacity as well as fleet deployment flexibility for the SES group over the coming years. The satellites are scheduled for launch in several steps between 2012 and 2014. The design life of each satellite is 15 years.
“This important investment in new satellite capacity will enhance the prominence of SES ASTRA’s 28.2 degrees East position, mainly for the UK and Irish markets, and improve coverage of Eastern Europe from 31.5 degrees East,” said Romain Bausch, President and CEO of SES. “It will also allow SES WORLD SKIES to extend its offer to the African and Middle Eastern markets. By adding significant flexibility and improved functionality, these new satellites will allow SES to further drive its DTH, DTT, enterprise and broadband businesses while consolidating space assets and strengthening the international reach of the group. Also, we are pleased to be working again with Astrium. SES has appreciated the quality of their products and their customer dedication in recent and ongoing contracts, and this is exactly what we are looking for in this multi-satellite contract.”
The four new satellites will be built on a Eurostar E3000 platform, the latest version of Astrium’s Eurostar series which has proven to be highly reliable in commercial service. A total of 60 Eurostar satellites have been ordered to date. SES has already ordered three Eurostar E3000s: ASTRA 1M, which entered into service one year ago; ASTRA 3B, ready for launch early next year; and ASTRA 1N, which was ordered last year and is currently under construction.
"Astrium is extremely proud to have been selected by the world's premier satellite operator, and I would like to profoundly thank SES for their confidence. Following a rigorous selection process among the world's leading satellite manufacturers, Astrium demonstrated that it offered the best solutions for SES. The decision to order four satellites in a single contract increases Astrium’s long-term standing as a market leader in satellite production. I would also like to express my gratitude to the teams on both sides of the table for their outstanding professionalism, which ultimately made it possible to sign one of the biggest contracts for telecommunications satellites in the world," said Astrium CEO François Auque.
Three of the new spacecraft, ASTRA 2E, ASTRA 2F and ASTRA 2G, will serve to deliver next generation broadcast, VSAT and broadband services in Europe and Africa, and will carry Ku-and Ka-band payloads at 28.2 degrees East.
The Ku-band capacity will allow SES ASTRA to enhance and secure its existing offering to major Direct-to-Home (DTH) markets in the UK and Ireland. With a Ku-band payload specifically designed to meet the requirements of some of Europe’s largest DTH broadcasters, the satellites will have spot beam and pan-European beam switching capabilities to accommodate both pay-TV and free-to-air broadcasters, and to provide these customers with increased functionality. SES ASTRA customers in this region include BSkyB, BBC, ITV, Freesat, Channel Four, UK TV, Virgin Media, Five, MTV and Discovery. The Ka-band payload will allow SES ASTRA to develop next generation broadband services in Europe, including its growing ASTRA2Connect product.
ASTRA 2E, ASTRA 2F and ASTRA 2G will also include replacement and new capacity for the SES WORLD SKIES division, serving the African and the Middle Eastern markets with Ku-and Ka-band capacity. The new capacity will provide continuity of service and expansion opportunities for customers that are today already using the ASTRA 2B steerable beam over West Africa, as well as for new customers
ASTRA 5B will be deployed at the orbital position 31.5 degrees East, extending SES ASTRA's transponder capacity and geographical reach over Eastern European and neighboring markets for DTH, Direct-to-Cable (DTC) and contribution feeds to Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) networks.
SES’ orbital position 28.2 degrees East is currently served by the ASTRA 2A, 2B and 2D spacecraft. The 31.5 degrees East position is currently served by ASTRA 2C.
此次投资5亿多欧元购买多颗卫星，旨在满足欧洲最大的几家直播到户广播公司的需求，促进东欧、非洲及中东市场的增长
卢森堡和巴黎--(美国商业资讯)--全球卫星运营商SES有限公司（SES S.A.，巴黎证券交易所：SESG，卢森堡证券交易所：SESG）和EADS公司（巴黎泛欧证券交易所：EAD）旗下全资所有的Astrium公司今天宣布，SES向Astrium公司订购了四颗多任务卫星，以更换旗下SES ASTRA公司和SES WORLD SKIES公司的卫星，并扩大其信道容量。
有了代号为ASTRA 2E、ASTRA 2F、ASTRA 2G、ASTRA 5B的这几颗新卫星，目前在东经28.2度和31.5度两个轨道位置运行的卫星就可以退役，新卫星还可在今后几年为SES集团增加新的信道容量，提高其航队部署的灵活性。按照计划，这几颗卫星将在2012年至2014年之间分次发射。每颗卫星的设计寿命是15年。
SES公司总裁兼首席执行官Romain Bausch说，“此次对新卫星容量的重大投资将提升SES ASTRA公司在东经28.2度这一主要面向英国和爱尔兰市场的轨位的重要地位，同时也有助于利用东经31.5度轨位更好地覆盖东欧市场。本次投资还将支持SES WORLD SKIES公司扩大在非洲及中东市场的业务。这些新卫星大大提高了我们的灵活性，增加了不少改进功能，将有助于SES进一步推动其DTH、DTT、企业业务和宽带业务的发展，同时，巩固航天资产，加强整个集团的国际覆盖能力。另外，能再次与Astrium公司合作，我们也感到很高兴。在近来履行合同的过程中，Astrium提供了高品质的产品，全心全意为客户服务，SES公司对此表示赞赏。这正是我们要为这份订购多颗卫星的合同寻找的供应商。”
四颗新卫星将在Eurostar E3000平台上建造，该平台是Astrium Eurostar系列最新版，经实际使用证明，在商用服务中的可靠性极高。迄今为止，Eurostar卫星订购总数已达60颗。SES公司已经订购了三颗Eurostar E3000型卫星：一年前投入使用的ASTRA 1M卫星；明年初即将发射的ASTRA 3B卫星；以及去年订购、目前正在建造的ASTRA 1N卫星。
Astrium公司首席执行官François Auque说，“能够被世界首屈一指的卫星运营商选中，Astrium公司感到极为自豪，我要衷心感谢SES对我们的信赖。经过严格的甄选程序，Astrium公司从多家世界一流卫星制造商中脱颖而出，向SES证明，本公司能够为其提供最优秀的解决方案。SES在一份合同中订购四颗卫星的决定增强了Astrium公司在卫星制造领域的长期市场领先地位。我还要对谈判双方团队表示感谢，他们出色的专业水准令人钦佩，正是因为他们的努力，这份全球最大规模的电信卫星合同才得以最终签订。”
新订购的航天器之中，ASTRA 2E、ASTRA 2F、ASTRA 2G这三颗将用于向欧洲和非洲提供下一代广播、VSAT和宽带服务，并将在东经28.2度位置携带Ku频段及Ka频段有效载荷。
依靠Ku频段信道容量，SES ASTRA公司将可以加强和巩固其目前在英国及爱尔兰向主要的直播到户（DTH）市场提供的服务。依靠专为满足欧洲一些最大的直播到户广播公司的需求而提供的Ku频段有效载荷，这些卫星将拥有点波束和泛欧波束交换能力，为付费电视以及免费广播公司提供服务，并且可为这些客户提供更多的功能。SES ASTRA在该地区的客户有：BSkyB、BBC、ITV、Freesat、Channel Four、UK TV、Virgin Media、Five、MTV、Discovery。利用Ka频段有效载荷，SES ASTRA公司将可在欧洲开发下一代宽带业务，包括正在不断发展的ASTRA2Connect 产品。
ASTRA 2E、ASTRA 2F、STRA 2G还将承担SES WORLD SKIES公司卫星更替和扩容任务，利用Ku频段和Ka频段信道容量为非洲及中东市场服务。新的容量将为目前已经在西非地区使用ASTRA 2B可控波束的客户以及新客户提供服务连续性和拓展机会。
ASTRA 5B将部署在东经31.5度轨位，这样一来，SES ASTRA的应答机信道容量及地理覆盖能力将可扩大到东欧及邻近地区的直播到户、直接到光缆（Direct-to-Cable，DTC）和地面数字电视网络收集馈送（contribution feeds）市场。
目前，SES的ASTRA 2A、2B、2D航天器正在东经28.2度轨道位置服役。ASTRA 2C在东经31.5度位置服役。

Luxembourg and Paris, 30 November 2009 – Global satellite operator SES S.A.(Euronext Paris and Luxembourg Stock Exchange: SESG) and Astrium, a wholly-owned subsidiary of EADS (Euronext Paris: EAD), announced today that SES has ordered four multi-mission satellites from Astrium to provide replacement as well as incremental capacity for its SES ASTRA and SES WORLD SKIES divisions.
Multi-satellite investment of over 500M euro designed to meet needs of largest European DTH broadcasters and to fuel growth in Eastern Europe, Africa and Middle East
The new satellites, to be designated ASTRA 2E, ASTRA 2F, ASTRA 2G and ASTRA 5B, will allow the release of the existing satellites at two orbital positions (28.2 and 31.5 degrees East) and add new capacity as well as fleet deployment flexibility for the SES group over the coming years. The satellites are scheduled for launch in several steps between 2012 and 2014. The design life of each satellite is 15 years.
“This important investment in new satellite capacity will enhance the prominence of SES ASTRA’s 28.2 degrees East position, mainly for the UK and Irish markets, and improve coverage of Eastern Europe from 31.5 degrees East,” said Romain Bausch, President and CEO of SES. “It will also allow SES WORLD SKIES to extend its offer to the African and Middle Eastern markets. By adding significant flexibility and improved functionality, these new satellites will allow SES to further drive its DTH, DTT, enterprise and broadband businesses while consolidating space assets and strengthening the international reach of the group. Also, we are pleased to be working again with Astrium. SES has appreciated the quality of their products and their customer dedication in recent and ongoing contracts, and this is exactly what we are looking for in this multi-satellite contract.”
The four new satellites will be built on a Eurostar E3000 platform, the latest version of Astrium’s Eurostar series which has proven to be highly reliable in commercial service. A total of 60 Eurostar satellites have been ordered to date. SES has already ordered three Eurostar E3000s: ASTRA 1M, which entered into service one year ago; ASTRA 3B, ready for launch early next year; and ASTRA 1N, which was ordered last year and is currently under construction.
"Astrium is extremely proud to have been selected by the world's premier satellite operator, and I would like to profoundly thank SES for their confidence. Following a rigorous selection process among the world's leading satellite manufacturers, Astrium demonstrated that it offered the best solutions for SES. The decision to order four satellites in a single contract increases Astrium’s long-term standing as a market leader in satellite production. I would also like to express my gratitude to the teams on both sides of the table for their outstanding professionalism, which ultimately made it possible to sign one of the biggest contracts for telecommunications satellites in the world," said Astrium CEO François Auque.
Three of the new spacecraft, ASTRA 2E, ASTRA 2F and ASTRA 2G, will serve to deliver next generation broadcast, VSAT and broadband services in Europe and Africa, and will carry Ku-and Ka-band payloads at 28.2 degrees East.
The Ku-band capacity will allow SES ASTRA to enhance and secure its existing offering to major Direct-to-Home (DTH) markets in the UK and Ireland. With a Ku-band payload specifically designed to meet the requirements of some of Europe’s largest DTH broadcasters, the satellites will have spot beam and pan-European beam switching capabilities to accommodate both pay-TV and free-to-air broadcasters, and to provide these customers with increased functionality. SES ASTRA customers in this region include BSkyB, BBC, ITV, Freesat, Channel Four, UK TV, Virgin Media, Five, MTV and Discovery. The Ka-band payload will allow SES ASTRA to develop next generation broadband services in Europe, including its growing ASTRA2Connect product.
ASTRA 2E, ASTRA 2F and ASTRA 2G will also include replacement and new capacity for the SES WORLD SKIES division, serving the African and the Middle Eastern markets with Ku-and Ka-band capacity. The new capacity will provide continuity of service and expansion opportunities for customers that are today already using the ASTRA 2B steerable beam over West Africa, as well as for new customers
ASTRA 5B will be deployed at the orbital position 31.5 degrees East, extending SES ASTRA's transponder capacity and geographical reach over Eastern European and neighboring markets for DTH, Direct-to-Cable (DTC) and contribution feeds to Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) networks.
SES’ orbital position 28.2 degrees East is currently served by the ASTRA 2A, 2B and 2D spacecraft. The 31.5 degrees East position is currently served by ASTRA 2C.
此次投资5亿多欧元购买多颗卫星，旨在满足欧洲最大的几家直播到户广播公司的需求，促进东欧、非洲及中东市场的增长
卢森堡和巴黎--(美国商业资讯)--全球卫星运营商SES有限公司（SES S.A.，巴黎证券交易所：SESG，卢森堡证券交易所：SESG）和EADS公司（巴黎泛欧证券交易所：EAD）旗下全资所有的Astrium公司今天宣布，SES向Astrium公司订购了四颗多任务卫星，以更换旗下SES ASTRA公司和SES WORLD SKIES公司的卫星，并扩大其信道容量。
有了代号为ASTRA 2E、ASTRA 2F、ASTRA 2G、ASTRA 5B的这几颗新卫星，目前在东经28.2度和31.5度两个轨道位置运行的卫星就可以退役，新卫星还可在今后几年为SES集团增加新的信道容量，提高其航队部署的灵活性。按照计划，这几颗卫星将在2012年至2014年之间分次发射。每颗卫星的设计寿命是15年。
SES公司总裁兼首席执行官Romain Bausch说，“此次对新卫星容量的重大投资将提升SES ASTRA公司在东经28.2度这一主要面向英国和爱尔兰市场的轨位的重要地位，同时也有助于利用东经31.5度轨位更好地覆盖东欧市场。本次投资还将支持SES WORLD SKIES公司扩大在非洲及中东市场的业务。这些新卫星大大提高了我们的灵活性，增加了不少改进功能，将有助于SES进一步推动其DTH、DTT、企业业务和宽带业务的发展，同时，巩固航天资产，加强整个集团的国际覆盖能力。另外，能再次与Astrium公司合作，我们也感到很高兴。在近来履行合同的过程中，Astrium提供了高品质的产品，全心全意为客户服务，SES公司对此表示赞赏。这正是我们要为这份订购多颗卫星的合同寻找的供应商。”
四颗新卫星将在Eurostar E3000平台上建造，该平台是Astrium Eurostar系列最新版，经实际使用证明，在商用服务中的可靠性极高。迄今为止，Eurostar卫星订购总数已达60颗。SES公司已经订购了三颗Eurostar E3000型卫星：一年前投入使用的ASTRA 1M卫星；明年初即将发射的ASTRA 3B卫星；以及去年订购、目前正在建造的ASTRA 1N卫星。
Astrium公司首席执行官François Auque说，“能够被世界首屈一指的卫星运营商选中，Astrium公司感到极为自豪，我要衷心感谢SES对我们的信赖。经过严格的甄选程序，Astrium公司从多家世界一流卫星制造商中脱颖而出，向SES证明，本公司能够为其提供最优秀的解决方案。SES在一份合同中订购四颗卫星的决定增强了Astrium公司在卫星制造领域的长期市场领先地位。我还要对谈判双方团队表示感谢，他们出色的专业水准令人钦佩，正是因为他们的努力，这份全球最大规模的电信卫星合同才得以最终签订。”
新订购的航天器之中，ASTRA 2E、ASTRA 2F、ASTRA 2G这三颗将用于向欧洲和非洲提供下一代广播、VSAT和宽带服务，并将在东经28.2度位置携带Ku频段及Ka频段有效载荷。
依靠Ku频段信道容量，SES ASTRA公司将可以加强和巩固其目前在英国及爱尔兰向主要的直播到户（DTH）市场提供的服务。依靠专为满足欧洲一些最大的直播到户广播公司的需求而提供的Ku频段有效载荷，这些卫星将拥有点波束和泛欧波束交换能力，为付费电视以及免费广播公司提供服务，并且可为这些客户提供更多的功能。SES ASTRA在该地区的客户有：BSkyB、BBC、ITV、Freesat、Channel Four、UK TV、Virgin Media、Five、MTV、Discovery。利用Ka频段有效载荷，SES ASTRA公司将可在欧洲开发下一代宽带业务，包括正在不断发展的ASTRA2Connect 产品。
ASTRA 2E、ASTRA 2F、STRA 2G还将承担SES WORLD SKIES公司卫星更替和扩容任务，利用Ku频段和Ka频段信道容量为非洲及中东市场服务。新的容量将为目前已经在西非地区使用ASTRA 2B可控波束的客户以及新客户提供服务连续性和拓展机会。
ASTRA 5B将部署在东经31.5度轨位，这样一来，SES ASTRA的应答机信道容量及地理覆盖能力将可扩大到东欧及邻近地区的直播到户、直接到光缆（Direct-to-Cable，DTC）和地面数字电视网络收集馈送（contribution feeds）市场。
目前，SES的ASTRA 2A、2B、2D航天器正在东经28.2度轨道位置服役。ASTRA 2C在东经31.5度位置服役。
