September 21, 2012: Luxembourg-based SES has loaned a satellite to Thailand’s Thaicom. The move is seen as part of a possible wider co-operation with Thaicom.
The SES satellite is NSS-5, which has been operating for most of its life at 20 degrees West, more or less over the Atlantic Ocean where its C and Ku-band payload provided a link between the Americas and Europe. Its mission there wrapped up in July when the satellite was replaced with the newer and more powerful 72-transponder NSS-7 craft, itself launched in 2002.
