AL YAH 3 is a Ka-band commercial communication satellite with a payload consists of 58 Ka-band spot beams. During the launch, the Ariane-5ECA suffered a telemetry loss, which led to an off-nominal deployment of the satellites in an orbit with an inclination of 20.6° instead of 3° however the mission is reported as being in good health. The AL YAH 3 satellite carries 53 active Ka-band user beams and four gateway beams, and produces approximately 7.5 kilowatts of payload electrical power. The Ka-band spot beams provide two-way communications services to facilitate high-speed delivery of data to end-user applications such as broadband Internet and corporate networking as well as IP backhaul for telecommunications service providers. Using the Al Yah 3 spacecraft, Yahsat will provide its services to Africa and Brazil.
