SES’s seventh and eighth O3b mPOWER satellites arrived at Cape Canaveral earlier this month, where they will be readied for launch by SpaceX in December.
Both of these O3b mPOWER satellites feature redesigned payload power modules and will join the first six O3b mPOWER satellites already in MEO operation.
These two additional satellites will bolster the second-generation MEO system to continue delivering high-quality connectivity services required by customers across multiple market segments, at scale.
SES has been deploying O3b mPOWER services worldwide since April of 2024, with the system’s core infrastructure deployed, tested and in use on a global basis.
