ANOTHER PAWN ON
DIRECT-TO-HOME
CHESSBOARD – SES-9
SATELLITE LAUNCH
SCHEDULED FOR
20TH NOVEMBER
2015

Another pawn on Direct-to-Home
chessboard – SES-9 satellite launch
scheduled for 20th November 2015
SpaceX after loss of Falcon 9 with
CRS-7 Dragon Spacecraft is going to
launch upgraded Falcon 9 1.2V with
SES-9 satellite under contract with
SES.
With constellation of 53 satellites SES
company is not going to rest on laurels. On
20th November 2015 from launch site
SLC-41 on Cape Canaveral ASF is planned
launch of next Direct-to-Home satellite
made by Boeing. Operating on orbit 108.2°
longitude East has potential to confirm SES
position in DTH market in Northeast Asia,
South Asia and Indonesia. Satellite is
equipped with KU band transponders
powered by two wings with six panels
each constructed with ultra triple-junction
gallium arsenide solar cells. Satellite’s
propulsion is XIPS – Xenon Ion Propulsion
System – electric powered engine which
should be ten times more efficient than
liquid fueled engines.
For SpaceX this mission is significant. After
loss of Falcon-9 rocket with CRS-7 Dragon
company will utilize upgraded Falcon-9 1.2v
rocket. Compared to last generation main
difference is using fully optimized Merlin-1D
engines. SpaceX President Gwynne
Shotwell claims:
“In order to launch and get operational
with the current Falcon 9 that we’re flying,
the v1.1, we needed to draw a line on
engine development. But what we did see
during the development of our Merlin
engines … So what we’ve done is we’ve
gone back, got that extra performance
from those engines, and we’re going to
place them on the new vehicle, the new
spin. I don’t know what we’re going to call
it. Enhanced Falcon 9, Falcon 9 v1.2, Full-
Performance Falcon 9.”
At last name is now well known, hopefully
results of engineering improvements will
be more breakthroughs than name change.
It would be sign of development progress
in Falcon-9 family before adopting reusable
technology, which was announced by
SpaceX on 29 September 2011.
