Highlights on some of the satellites constructed by Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems:
Heaviest satellite launched by Japan into space at 5,857 kg
Operated by Sky Perfect JSAT Corporation of Japan, JCSat 17 is a commercial satellite launched for the purpose of communications.
Constructed by Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems (USA), it was launched into space on 18 February 2020 using Ariane 5 as the launch vehicle from Guiana Space Center. JCSat 17 orbits around the Earth as a GEO satellite.
JCSat 17 has a launch mass of 5,857 kg and is expected to have a operational lifetime of 15 years. It navigates with the COSPAR ID 2020-013A and NORAD ID 45245.
With an orbital eccentricity of 3.20E-04, the satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 35,773km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 35,800km. It takes 1,436 minutes to orbit the Earth.
JCSat 17 orbits along the longitude of 136 degrees at an inclination of 7 degrees.
Second heaviest satellite launched by Atlas 2AS into space at 4,723 kg
A commercial satellite, Intelsat 901 is operated by Intelsat S.A. of USA for the purpose of communications.
Constructed by Lockheed Martin Commercial Space Systems (USA), it was launched into space using Atlas 2AS as the launch vehicle from Cape Canaveral on 9 June 2001. Intelsat 901 orbits around the Earth as a GEO satellite.
With a launch mass of 4,723kg and a dry mass of 1,972kg, Intelsat 901 is designed to operate in space for a lifetime of 13 years. It orbits around the Earth with the COSPAR ID 2001-024A and NORAD ID 26824.
With an orbital eccentricity of 2.73E-04, the satellite's perigee, which is the point of the orbit closest to the Earth's center of mass, is 35,775km while its apogee, which is the point of the orbit farthest from the Earth's center of mass, is 35,798km. It takes 1,436 minutes to orbit the Earth.
With generated usable power of 10000 watts, Intelsat 901 orbits along the longitude of -28 degrees.
