ILS Proton to Launch Telstar 14R/ Estrela do Sul 2

Launch Date:                       
21 May 2011, Baikonur

Launch Time:                      
01:15 Baikonur
19:15 GMT, 20 May
15:15 EDT, 20 May  

Launch Site:                        
Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan
Launch Pad 39

Target Orbit at Separation:                          
Apogee: 35,786 km
Perigee:  8,850 km
Inclination: 13.8 degrees

The Proton M launch vehicle, utilising a 5-burn Breeze M mission design, will lift off from Pad 39 at Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, with the Telstar 14R/Estrela do Sul satellite on board. The first three stages of the Proton will use a standard ascent profile to place the orbital unit (Breeze M upper stage and the satellite) into a sub-orbital trajectory. From this point in the mission, the Breeze M will perform planned mission manoeuvres to advance the orbital unit first to a circular parking orbit, then to an intermediate orbit, followed by a transfer orbit, and finally to a geosynchronous transfer orbit. Separation of the satellite is scheduled to occur approximately 9 hours, 13 minutes after liftoff.

Communications Satellite Built for Telesat Has Arrived in Kazakhstan to Begin Preparations for Late May Launch

Space Systems/Loral, a provider of commercial satellites, today announced that Telstar 14R/Estrela do Sul 2 was delivered ahead of schedule for the start of its launch campaign. The satellite, designed and built for Telesat, one of the world's leading satellite operators, arrived earlier today at the Baikonur Space Centre in Kazakhstan, where it will be launched in late May aboard an ILS Proton Breeze M vehicle provided by International Launch Services (ILS).

ILS International Launch Services (ILS) and Telesat, the worlds fourth largest fixed satellite services operator, announced a contract today for the launch on an ILS Proton of Telesats recently ordered Telstar 14R satellite. Telstar 14R is under construction by Space Systems/Loral in Palo Alto, California, for delivery to the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.  ILS and Khrunichev are implementing a mission integration schedule to support a mid-2011 launch.  ILS has launched five Telesat satellites.  A sixth, Telesats Nimiq 5, is scheduled to launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on an ILS Proton later this year.
Telstar 14R will utilise the flight proven Space Systems/Loral 1300 platform with a 15 year mission life, and a launch mass of approximately 5000 kg, replacing Telstar 14/Estrela do Sul at the orbital location of 63 degrees West.  Telesats newest satellite will provide long term  service for Brazil, the Continental United States (including the Gulf of Mexico and northern Caribbean), the Southern Cone of South America, the Andean region (including Central America and southern Caribbean), and the North and Mid-Atlantic Ocean. The satellites Atlantic beam will expand on the Atlantic Ocean Region capacity of both Telstar 14 and Telstar 11N, and secure Telesats position as a leader in mobile broadband for maritime and aeronautical customers operating in the Atlantic.
