 Space Systems/Loral (SS/L), a subsidiary of Loral Space and Communications and the leading provider of high-power commercial satellites, today announced that it shipped Telstar 11N to the Baikonur Space Center in Kazakhstan, where it will be launched on the Land Launch system.

Space Systems/Loral designed the satellite, which was built for Telesat, one of the world's leading fixed satellite services operators, to provide commercial and government customers with high powered, state-of-the-art satellite capacity for a broad range of video and data applications.

Following its launch next month, Telstar 11N will operate from 37.5 degrees West Longitude and will connect three continents: North America, Western Europe and Africa. It also has a unique Atlantic Ocean beam, which will support growing demand for mobile broadband from maritime and aeronautical markets.

"As the first Space Systems/Loral-built satellite to be shipped in 2009, Telstar 11N will make information and entertainment more accessible around the world," said John Celli, President and Chief Operating Officer of Space Systems/Loral.

"This marks the beginning of a year that we expect will be very robust for delivering completed satellites to our customers."

With 39 high-power Ku-band transponders, Telstar 11N is based on the Space Systems/Loral 1300 satellite platform which provides flexibility for a broad range of applications.
