Intelsat 42, 43
Intelsat 42 [Airbus]
Intelsat 42 and 43 are fully reconfigurable multiband telecommunications satellites owned by Intelsat.
Airbus has on 31 December 2020 signed a contract with Intelsat to build two satellites operating in multiple frequency bands for Intelsat’s next-generation software-defined network. The satellites will be based on Airbus’ OneSat product line, the latest generation of fully flexible, in orbit reconfigurable, Software Defined Satellites (SDS). Intelsat’s next-generation software-defined network will be the catalyst for our growth, enabling future Gogo Commercial Aviation inflight broadband services, as well as other managed services across Intelsat’s customer segments.
Airbus will deliver an end-to-end fully integrated solution, including design and manufacture of the satellites. The highly capable ground segment software components, when fully integrated into Intelsat’s next-generation software defined network ecosystem and advanced digital suite will allow dynamic operation of end-to-end satellite resources. The two next generation SD satellites will be delivered in 2023.
