Launched in December 2007, Horizons-2 replaced Intelsat’s SBS-6 satellite, located at 74° West longitude. The Orbital Sciences STAR-2 spacecraft delivers sixteen 36MHz transponders with 85W of power and four 72MHz transponders with 150W of power. This results in excellent CONUS coverage of the U.S. along with a high-powered East Coast Beam that extends connectivity to the Caribbean and parts of Canada.
