The satellite will be built by the Japanese Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, which makes use of the DS2000 platform and the time off will be a mass exceeding 5100 kg. The satellite will carry C - band and Ku-band transponders that will provide fixed and mobile satellite voice services but Data IP for business, especially actors DTH, and shipping companies in Asia and the Middle East, the ST-2 expected to have a lifetime in orbit 15 years.
2) The Asia Broadcast Satellite also chose Arianespace to launch new telecommunications satellite of the ABS-2.
This is the 11th contract signed in 2009 by Arianespace. The launch of the ABS-2 for the transfer to geostationary orbit is planned for first half of 2012 will also be launched by Ariane 5 ECA from the European Space Agency and the Space Centre in French Guiana.

The ABS-2 satellite has a mass that is greater than 6.000 kg, during its launch and will provide services for a lifetime exceeding 15 years. The satellite will be built by Space Systems Loral using the platform of LS 1300, and is equipped with C & Ku-band and Ka band services and will provide more than four times the existing capacity of the ABS-1. Located at 75 degrees East and will be shared with the ABS-1, the ABS-2 will offer a wide range of services to Asia, Russia, Africa and the Middle East, including DTH, cable television distribution, multimedia applications, and data network and telecommunications services. The ABS-2 satellite will be an important addition to the existing satellite transponders 44 ABS-1, which continues to fuel, which the left has more than 14 years of life. The ABS-2 will provide expansion capacity for already existing customers of ABS-1 and also serves as a backup pending on track for the transponders of the ABS-1.
