ASTRA 2G is a commercial communications satellite owned by SES, linking Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The spacecraft is based on the Eurostar E3000 satellite platform manufactured by Airbus Defense and Space. ASTRA 2G hosts 62 Ku-band transponders and four Ka-band transponders. It also carries a Ka-band and X-band communications package for the government of Luxembourg, which intends to use capacity on ASTRA 2G to meet regulatory requirements allowing the country to keep a soon-to-expire frequency allocation needed for a future military communications satellite.
