APT Satellite

Disney, Hallmark, Globecast, BBC, and other regional broadcasters utilise APSTAR-7 for distributing their channels across the region.

APSTAR-9 Launched in October 2015, APSTAR-9 satellite is a DFH-4 platform satellite manufactured by CASC (China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation). Located at 142E orbital slot, APSTAR-9 is equipped with 32 C-band and 14 Kuband transponders. C-band coverage consists of one broad beam for the Asia Pacific region (AP Beam) and one enhanced beam for South East Asia (SEA Beam), suitable for video broadcast and high throughput telecom and cellular backhaul services; Ku-band covers the west Pacific and east of the Indian Ocean region, providing DTH, VSAT and mobility services such as maritime and inflight connectivity.

APSTAR-6C APSTAR-6C satellite was launched on May 4, 2018 by the Long March 3B launch vehicle from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan, China. Located at 134⁰E, APSTAR-6C satellite is designed and manufactured by CAST based on the DFH-4 platform with a designed life of 15 years. It is equipped totally with 45 transponders in C-band, Ku-band and Kaband. As the most advanced satellite with the highest capacity in the DFH-4 series satellites, APSTAR-6C will provide satellite communication and broadcasting services covering the Asia-Pacific region.

APSTAR-5C On September 10, 2018 in Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA, APSTAR-5C was successfully launched to space on a Falcon 9 rocket made by Space X. APSTAR-5C is based on the Space System Loral FS-1300 platform, it is equipped with C-band, Ku-band regional beams and Ku-band HTS payload, providing high power transponder services to customers across the Asia-Pacific region for VSAT, video distribution, DTH, maritime and broadband services. APSTAR-5C’s mission slot is at 138E. By utilising a hybrid chemical-electric propulsion system, APSTAR-5C is expected to last more than 18 years in its station-keeping orbital slot. APSTAR-5C is also a host payload project between APT Satellite and Telesat, a Canadian satellite company, under its name of Telstar-18V.
