AZERSPACE-2, also known as INTELSAT 38, is Azerbaijan's second telecommunications satellite, built by U.S.-based Space Systems Loral and managed by Azercosmos. The satellite will provide continuity of service for the Intelsat 12 satellite currently stationed at 45° East, an orbital location which hosts Direct-to-Home (DTH) platforms and provides connectivity for corporate network services in Africa. INTELSAT 38 will also provide services across Central and Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa. For Azercosmos, the new satellite offers enhanced capacity, coverage and service offerings to support the growing demands in the region for DTH, government and network services currently supported by AZERSPACE-1.
