International Launch Services (ILS) has been chosen by satellite services provider, Intelsat S.A, for two future ILS Proton satellite launch missions.
In a company statement, Intelsat EVP and CTO Thierry Guillemin noted, “Intelsat enjoyed another steady year in 2012, which included five successful satellite launches and the completion of the world’s first global broadband mobility platform, which will enable increased bandwidth to support our customers’ growth plans.” Guillemin added that the company is looking forward to building its momentum, hence choosing ILS for two satellite launches which will allow the company to reach developing regions and eventually meet the ever-increasing demand for highly efficient and reliable connectivity.
Recently, ILS successfully launched the first satellite aboard the Proton vehicle. The spacecraft took the Satmex 8 satellite into orbit.
“ILS is honored to be selected by Intelsat for these future missions. We are pleased to have Intelsat’s confidence and commitment to support their plans for growth and expansion of their business,” ILS President Phil Slack said in a statement.
