Space Systems/Loral Delivers EchoStar XI Satellite to Launch Base
May 28, 2008: 11:00 AM EST
PALO ALTO, Calif., May 28, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), a subsidiary of Loral Space & Communications (Nasdaq:LORL) and the world's leading provider of high-power commercial satellites, today announced that it delivered EchoStar XI to the Sea Launch home port in Long Beach, Calif. on Tuesday, May 27.
"EchoStar XI is a powerful 20-kW satellite, designed to expand capacity for DISH Network," said John Celli, president and chief operating officer of Space Systems/Loral. "This is the fourth satellite that we have shipped for launch in 2008 and we expect to see a number of additional launches before the end of the year."
EchoStar XI is a powerful direct broadcast satellite (DBS), which was built for an affiliate of DISH Network Corporation. Launch is scheduled for later this summer, aboard a Zenit-3SL rocket from the Sea Launch Odyssey platform in the Pacific Ocean. The satellite will be the fifth SS/L built satellite in the DISH fleet.
"There is a good deal of anticipation as we gear up for the EchoStar XI launch," said Rohan Zaveri, Vice President of Space Programs for DISH Network. "Each time Space Systems/Loral delivers a satellite to DISH Network, we are reminded of the success of our ongoing working relationship and the company's ability to meet our evolving requirements."
EchoStar XI is based on SS/L's space-proven 1300 platform, which provides the flexibility for a broad range of applications. Following launch and in-orbit testing, the new satellite will support the expansion of DISH Network's programming and services.Scott

Let's keep our fingers crossed for this one.
I thought the launch date was sometime in July??
Will they test it this long before the launch??

So when will we get the insurance payment after it's launched? Isn't it using the same booster as AMC14?
