SIRIUS FM-6 is a new, high-power satellite designed to operate in a Geostationary orbit (GEO). This satellite will be the seventh SS/L-built spacecraft in the SIRIUS XM Radio fleet and will provide nearly double the power of the satellites in SIRIUS XM’s existing, in-orbit constellation, continuing to improve service for SIRIUS subscribers. SIRIUS FM-6 will carry an X-band uplink and an S-band downlink payload. With almost 20 kilowatts end-of-life power, it is one of the world's most powerful satellites being built today. The satellite is scheduled for launch in 2012
