The QuetzSat-1 spacecraft manufactured by Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), will now be readied for launch onboard an ILS Proton Breeze M booster, scheduled for lift off in September 2011.
The QuetzSat-1 spacecraft
QuetzSat-1 is an all Ku-band high-powered communications satellite with coverage of Mexico, USA, and Central America.
The Proton Breeze M booster
When launched, QuetzSat-1 will be positioned at 77 degrees West. It is based on SS/L's highly reliable 1300 satellite platform which provides the flexibility to support a broad range of applications and technology advances and provides high power for advanced DTH television. It is designed to deliver service for 15 years or longer.
