SES-8

SES-8 is a geostationary communication satellite operated by SES. SES-8 was successfully launched on SpaceX Falcon 9 v1.1 on 3 December 2013, 22:41 UTC.

It was the first flight of any SpaceX launch vehicle to a supersynchronous transfer orbit an orbit with a somewhat larger apogee than the more usual Geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) typically utilized for communication satellites.

Satellite

The SES-8 satellite is built on the GEOStar-2.4 satellite bus by Orbital Sciences. It is the sixth satellite of that model to be built for SES.

The commsat will be initially co-located at 95° East with NSS-6 in order to provide communications bandwidth growth capacity in the Asia-Pacific region, specifically aimed at high-growth markets in South Asia and Indo-China, "as well as provide expansion capacity for DTH, VSAT and government applications."
