SES-15 is a geostationary communications satellite designed to help airline travelers stay connected and improve air navigation over the United States.The spacecraft hosts hardware for multiple Ku-band communications missions, including a high-throughput payload designed to provide in-flight connectivity to airline passengers traveling across North America, Central America and the Caribbean. A Ku-band beam for video broadcasts overlays the high-throughput footprint over the United States.
