“After about an hour Thaicom 6 telecommunications satellite was the perfect elliptical orbit. Later satellite weighing three tons, using its own power, entered the geostationary orbit at an altitude of 36 thousand. miles above the surface of the Earth” – the company said SpaceX.
Belonging to the Thai operator Thaicom 6 is designed to provide connectivity and transmit television programs in the region of South Asia and parts of Africa.
December 9 SpaceX put into orbit its first communications satellite SES-8.
According to experts, the company will play an increasingly important role on the satellite offering much lower prices than those proposed by the U.S. State agency NASA and the European and Russian competitors. The value of this market is currently estimated at around 190 billion dollars a year.
