List of SES satellites explained

This is a list of satellites operated by SES.

AMC fleet

The AMC fleet was originally operated by GE Americom, acquired by SES Global in 2001. Americom was also operating the older Satcom fleet, whose last operating spacecraft were fully retired in the early 2000s.
