Hughes Jupiter 3 Satellite Successfully Launches
Hughes Network Systems, an EchoStar (Nasdaq: SATS) companionship, today announced its JUPITER™ three ultra high-density satellite has successfully launched on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from historic Kennedy Space Center Launch Pad 39A in Florida. Also known every bit EchoStar XXIV, JUPITER 3 was built past Maxar Technologies inward Palo Alto, CA, too is engineered to deliver gigabytes of connectivity to customers across North and South America.
On July 29 at 2:32 a.k. EDT, iii hours together with twenty-eight minutes later lift-off, JUPITER iii successfully deployed from the launch vehicle. The satellite began sending and receiving its outset signals, in addition to engineers deployed the JUPITER 3 solar arrays, which unfolded in space to their full x-level span.
Over the adjacent several weeks, JUPITER iii volition locomote into a geosynchronous compass 22,236 miles (35,786 kilometers) above the Earth to its destination at the 95 degrees westward orbital slot. It will then undergo extensive passenger vehicle too payload testing earlier entering service too augmenting the Hughes JUPITER fleet alongside more than than 500 Gbps of additional capacity.
With JUPITER three, Hughes will heighten its HughesNet® offerings for customers inwards the U.S. as well as Latin America alongside more than broadband capacity overall too higher speed plans in many markets—roughly amongst download speeds upward to 100 Mbps. The society volition as well offering higher speed HughesNet Fusion® plans, the innovative low-latency dwelling house internet that leverages multipath engineering science to blend satellite in addition to wireless technologies seamlessly into a depression-latency satellite cyberspace feel.
With dense, high-throughput capacity across the Americas, JUPITER 3 volition besides support applications such as inwards-flying Wi-Fi, company networking as well as cellular backhaul for mobile mesh operators (MNOs).

The satellite began sending and receiving its outset signals, in addition to engineers deployed the JUPITER 3 solar arrays, which unfolded in space to their full x-level span.
"JUPITER iii is the highest capacity, highest performing satellite nosotros've always launched. As the leading provider too inventor of satellite net, we're proud to herald the start of a new era of connectivity together with serve more customers where cable as well as fiber cannot," said Hamid Akhavan, CEO, EchoStar. "This role-built satellite is engineered uniquely to run into our customers' needs together with target capacity where it'sec needed near, such every bit the nearly rural regions of the Americas, so they can rest connected to the applications as well as services they depend on every mean solar day."
