Astra 1P/SES 24

Astra 1P [TAS]

Astra 1P/SES 24 is a geostationary communications satellite owned by SES, which will provide distribution of direct-to-home broadcast services across Europe.

Thales Alenia Space announced in November 2021that it has signed a contract with SES to deliver two Ku-band geostationary satellites, Astra 1P and Astra 1Q to serve SES�s major European broadcasters� content distribution operations as well as deliver connectivity services over Europe at 19.2� East.

Astra 1P, a classic wide-beam satellite, will support SES�s prime TV neighbourhood and enable content owners, private and public broadcasters across Germany, France and Spain to continue broadcasting satellite TV channels in the highest-picture quality in the most cost-efficient manner. It will be based on the full electric and powerful Spacebus-Neo-200 platform developed by Thales Alenia Space.
