Satellite[edit]


AsiaSat 8 was built by Space Systems/Loral, and is based on the LS-1300LL satellite bus.[2][3] The satellite carries 24 Ku band transponders and a Ka band payload, and was planned to be initially positioned above the equator,[4] at a longitude of 105.5 degrees East,[5] providing coverage of southern and south-eastern Asia, China and the Middle East.[6]


In December 2016, Spacecom made a $88 million four-year agreement with AsiaSat to lease AsiaSat 8's Ku-band. It is providing service at 4 degrees West. [7]



Launch vehicle[edit]




The launch of the Falcon 9 carrying AsiaSat 8.


SpaceX was contracted to launch AsiaSat 8, using a Falcon 9 v1.1 carrier rocket. The launch took place from Space Launch Complex 40 at the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on 5 August 2014 at 08:00 UTC.[8][9]


The Falcon 9 upper stage used to launch AsiaSat 8 is derelict in a decaying elliptical low-Earth orbit that, as of 13 August 2014[update], had an initial perigee of 195 km (121 mi) and an initial apogee of 35,673 km (22,166 mi).[10]
One month on, the orbit had decayed to an altitude of 185 km (115 mi) at its closest approach to Earth,[11]
and by November had decayed to a 169 km (105 mi) perigee.[12]
