Comments: The 8,609-pound [3,905-kg] ProtoStar 2 satellite carries its own propulsion system to reach a final geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles [35,900 km] over the equator. The spacecraft will be positioned in a slot at 107.7 degrees east longitude in the geosynchronous belt, allowing it to reach customers in Indonesia, India, the Philippines and Taiwan. ProtoStar 2, also called IndoStar 2, is outfitted with 13 S-band and 27 Ku-band transponders on a Boeing 601HP satellite platform designed to last at least 15 years.
