Technical Profile
General Specifications
• Orbital location 4° West AMOS-2, launched in 2003, joined AMOS-1 to create the AMOS "hotspot" at the 4°W orbital location. Today, AMOS-2 is co-located at • Frequency band Ku 4°W with AMOS-3, which was launched in 2008 to replace AMOS-1. • Number of 36 MHz Segments 22 AMOS-2 provides three Ku-band beams covering Europe, the Middle • Service areas Europe East and the U.S. East Coast. AMOS-2’s powerful transponders provide Middle East enhanced service offerings and support a full range of Satcom services, US East Coast including Direct-To-Home (DTH), video distribution, Very Small Aperture • Antenna polarization Linear Terminal (VSAT) communications and broadband Internet.
• Launch date December 2003 • Expected Service Life 13 years (until 2017)
