EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - Boeing will build four more 702MP satellites for Intelsat SA, furthering its role as the initial manufacturer of Intelsat's new high-performance satellite fleet, Intelsat EpicNG. The 702MPs will deliver reliable, affordable, and high-capacity data transmission that Intelsat customers can tailor to their needs, says Boeing.
"Intelsat became our first customer for the 702MP in 2009, and we are thrilled that our satellite will carry the Intelsat EpicNG high-throughput platform," said Craig Cooning, vice president and general manager of Boeing Space & Intelligence Systems.
The first EpicNG satellite, Intelsat 29e, was the fourth spacecraft and the last one still in production from Intelsat's previous order. It is on track for launch in 2015 and will serve the Americas and the North Atlantic. The new contract adds four more EpicNG satellites to the Intelsat fleet, starting with Intelsat 33e, which is to be launched in 2016.
