SES-7 (formerly known as Indostar 2 / ProtoStar 2) is a Dutch commercial communication satellite operated by SES World Skies. Originally launched on 16 May 2009 by Boeing for ProtoStar Ltd and later purchased through auction by SES S.A. for SES World Skies unit for $180 million. SES-7 operates in geostationary orbit and intended to be located at a longitude of 108.2° East covering South Asia and Asia-Pacific region. SES-7 is built for optimized HD DTH (direct-to-home) satellite television service and broadband Internet access across the Asia-Pacific region. The spacecraft was originally built for PanAmSat (now Intelsat) to be used as Galaxy-8iR, but that contract was terminated on November 15, 2002. The satellite was renamed SES-7 in May 2010. == References == 〔 *(【引用サイトリンク】title=Indostar 2 / ProtoStar 2 → SES 7 ) *(【引用サイトリンク】title=Boeing Contract ProtoStar-II ) *(【引用サイトリンク】title=SES 7 Home Page ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SES-7」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
