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.

O3b fleet

The O3b fleet was initially owned and operated by O3b Networks, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of SES in 2016[44] Orbiting in Medium Earth orbit (MEO), the first generation satellites are sometimes referred to as "O3b MEO" to more clearly distinguish them from the forthcoming second generation O3b mPOWER constellation (to launch 2022–2024, and start service in Q3 2023).[45] [46] [47] [48]
