Maxar Space Systems, satellite manufacturer and provider of advanced solutions for space exploration, has received an order for a geostationary (GEO) high-power communications satellite from a private commercial customer.

The satellite will be built on the Maxar 1300™ series platform at the company’s manufacturing facilities in Palo Alto and San Jose, California. It will feature a high-power, multi-spot beam payload.

“The commercial GEO communication market remains an important focus for us,” said Chris Johnson, CEO of Maxar Space Systems. “We are committed to delivering quality solutions that add value for our customers, and this new order highlights our ability to provide scalable platforms for diverse mission needs.”

This satellite will join other Maxar Space Systems spacecraft currently in orbit, continuing the company’s legacy of providing reliable and high-performance satellite solutions.
