Avanti secures satellite launch services
10 September 2007
Satellite operator Avanti Communications has signed a contract to purchase launch services for the launch of its first satellite, HYLAS, on schedule and within budget from Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX), USA.
A launch window enabling the satellite to be launched between March and December 2009 has been booked. The satellite will be launched from the SpaceX launch facility on the US Air Force Range at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Avanti has also secured options for further launches.
Avanti's chief executive, David Williams, said: "I am pleased to report the completion of another significant project milestone. The SpaceX Falcon 9 launch vehicles that we will use are also planned for use to transport US astronauts to the International Space Station, so for us to secure a service of this quality within the budget is pleasing. SpaceX share our vision of changing the speed and economics of space services so we look forward to working together."
